Liveaboard Diving, the new holiday sensation!
Have you ever heard of the new holiday craze, “Liveaboard diving”? This is an easy holiday for people to arrange, all you need is a bloat and a plane ticket! Liveaboard holidays are mainly for people in groups, or for families, it could get very lonely if you went on your own.
Let’s find out what this term actually means? It is almost like thinking of it as a holiday on the ocean. This holiday you simply travel around on a luxury yacht, usually in a warm location, such as the Maldives. One way you can do it, is just by taking the boat into the open sea and sunbathing up on deck for several days, returning only to land for food and drink. I was lucky enough to be taken on one of these holidays for a business trip. We took off in a plane and headed out towards the Maldives, we then hired a luxury yacht called the “Monsoon”, a very beautiful boat.
In my mind this was going to be a series of business meetings, and no talking in between, but my Client wanted to make it clear that it was a holiday and not a business trip. So basically I managed out of two weeks, one day of work. There was no more business to be done now, and I was ordered to enjoy the holiday. Diving is one of my Forte’s and i have enjoyed it through my life, so I was in my element. Work and keeping professional couldn’t be more difficult especially when you having fun. Once one afternoon when i ventured out for a diving session, we were greeted by a glorious Whale Shark.
Basically I spent about 7 hours completing business and about 13 days diving in the warm tropics of the Indian Ocean, not bad going. This is something that everybody can try, and there is no pressure to go diving either, you can just enjoy the trip. This holiday has proven to be amazing. Being able to go swimming in the open ocean with nobody else around was a surreal experience.
Diving holidays and Liveaboard diving is immense, not a very professional word, but there are not many ways to describe it, so whey not give luxury holidays a go in the Indian Ocean!
