In my time I’ve done loads of traveling as a single traveller. This is great, but if you’re a solo diver, perhaps not so good. For safety reasons you shouldn’t dive alone. So what’s the solution if you’re looking for a single cabin diving liveaboard Bahamas?
Single cabin diving liveaboard Bahamas options: If you are looking for a single cabin diving liveaboard in the Bahamas you need to be prepared to share twin, triple or quad cabins. For those solo divers who are happy to share with other single travellers or perhaps those travelling with two or more friends looking to share a cabin, you have 5 options to choose from.
The best way to dive the Bahamas is by a scuba diving liveaboard. You can check the latest and best deals on Bahamas liveaboards using the following window:
Single cabin diving liveaboard Bahamas
The Caribbean and the Bahamas is on many scuba diver’s bucket list. The Bahamas is a coral-based archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean.
It has over 700 islands and cays in total, which range from small uninhabited islands to the larger ones which are packed with tourists and resorts.
Scuba diving and snorkeling sites include the massive Andros Barrier Reef, Thunderball Grotto, which was used in James Bond films, the black-coral gardens off Bimini and the Tiger Shark Dive at Tiger Beach.
But as a solo traveller and diver and without a dive buddy, you will soon discover that a liveaboard is the best option.
If you’re travelling alone and you’re looking to explore the underwater world of the Caribbean, but in particular the Bahamas, a liveaboard dive boat with single cabins is the way to go.

The following Bahamas liveaboards have twin berth cabins, which are suited for solo divers when single cabins are not available, but of course you’ll need to share with another solo diver.

The Captain did a great job getting us to a variety of dive sites working around some challenging weather. This was my second trip to Exumas and my wife’s first liveaboard dive trip. There was plenty of new stuff for me to see, and the crew was phenomenal in making sure she was comfortable and ready for all the dives.” Recommended forComfort of the boat; Friendliness of the crew; Variety of dive sites.

This list of Caribbean liveaboards is in descending customer rating order, followed by Scuba Diving Luxury Rating (SDE Lux Rating, see below), so the liveaboards with the highest customer rating and the best SDE lux rating will be at the top of the list. If you want to change the list order, use the “Sort by” dropdown below.
The Scuba Diving Earth Luxury Rating (SDE Lux Rating) is explained on each liveaboard review when you click the “Discover Liveaboard” link, and is my own Liveaboard Luxury Rating I’ve assigned to all liveaboards. Choosing between liveaboards is helped by customer scores, and if you get stuck choosing between two or three liveaboards, where each one has a high customer score out of 10, you can use the SDE Luxury Rating to help narrow down your choice.
Think about it like using Booking.com when searching for the best hotel. Booking.com also use a customer score where each customer rates hotels out of 10. This is similar to the liveaboard customer rating, which is also rated out of 10. But let’s say you only like to stay in hotels rated 8 and above on Booking.com, but you also want the hotel to have WIFI or parking, or to have a swimming pool etc. The features each hotel has is usually secondary to the score out of 10.
