Red Sea rebreather friendly liveaboards
If you’re a technical diver and you’ve made the switch from an open circuit scuba system to a closed circuit rebreather scuba system, you will be looking for liveaboards that support rebreathers.
I’ve done the research for you to save time on trawling through every liveaboard on offer.
Of course you won’t necessarily need me to highlight the benefit of using a rebreather underwater. But the Red Sea is definitely one place where it would come into its own. As you’ll know many fish, including sharks and manta rays are not too keen on scuba diver bubbles. But of course if you have a rebreather you have the advantage of no bubbles!
Not only are there great opportunities to see manta rays and sharks in the Red Sea, but there’s a good chance you’ll be joined by the largest fish in the ocean too; the whale shark.
