I’ve collated for you a list of the best 30% liveaboard deals you’ll find online. But for you to avoid disappointment, you’ll need to grab the deal you want fast and book your liveaboard trip quickly, before someone gets there before you.

If you’re diving on a budget, a 30% discount will go a long——–long way to saving you money. Which means your diving money goes much further. But if you’re like me, and you may not necessarily be on a budget, don’t you love big savings in any case?

In fact I’ve just saved another £800 off my next trip to Barbados, where of course I will go diving with my friend Phil at Reef and Wreckers. I hope you love to save money as much as I do, because if you do, this page makes it easy for you to find the best 30% savings for your next liveaboard dive trip.

Also, if you’ve not dived on a liveaboard before, meaning this would be your first liveaboard trip, you can save money at the same time. A slightly cheaper way of dipping your toe in the water…no pun intended.

komodo national park. I had an unforgettable experience diving around Komodo national park. The boat was modern, clean, and specially designed for diving. The food was excellent. The crew was friendly and the dive master was very knowledgable. I felt like royalty during my stay and wish I could have stayed longer.” Recommended for: diving facilities, great cabin, knowledgeable crew.

Review: MV Seaisee; Book: MV Seaisee 10 Exceptional from £281; $343; €320

Great experience! The diving was amazing. We had a great instructor who knew the area perfectly and guided us through the strong currents in a very professional way. We saw a variety of creatures from huge manta rays to the tiny pygmy seahorse. The trip is planned very well and the last day of the trip is the one you trek in Rinca island to see the komodo dragons. Between the dives or at evening we enjoyed the kayaks that on board to explore even more the area. The crew of the boat is super nice and helpful, the food is amazing! We highly recommend the Cahaya Bersama and can’t wait for our next trip with them. Recommended for1. Crew was wonderful. 2.Diving was amazing 3. Food was very tasty.

Diving the Galapagos. The following is a letter I wrote to a passenger (also a travel agent) I traveled with the week before: Dearest Marianne, It is so nice to hear from you. First, of the 14 guests we had on board, not one was a drama queen, everybody acted their age. Ha ha. (Note: I was senior to all by about 25 years and I was the only American). They were from Australia (transplants from England), Germany, Spain, and France. Most spoke their native tongue, and Spanish and English. I thoroughly enjoyed their company while observing the minute cultural differences. Second, I would rate the trip an 8 or 9 when compared to the “naturalist” trip we took. As you know, the “naturalist” trip was chaulk full of minitrips, hiking, snorkeling and touring, and most educational about the environment and all. Most of the diving in the Galapagos can be found better elsewhere in the world. We did have some special moments with sea turtles and sea lions in and around the main islands. However, we did dive at Wolf and Darwin Islands, Darwin Arch specifically, both of which were spectacular, Darwin Island much more so though. Darwin Arch (now Pillars because the arch collapsed) is the flagship diving spot of the Galapagos. Besides seeing sea turtles and hundreds of hammerhead sharks, as well as other sharks, we encountered not one, not two, but six whale sharks. Most other places in the world, you are allowed to snorkel with the whale shark after chasing them a bit. But the whale shark always just swims away and you cannot keep up with it, then the chase begins again. Here though, we would dive to about 70 feet (about 21 meters) and lay on a ledge and wait for the whale shark to slowly swim by. This is what divers dream about. I shot video and posted the best on my Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/Fourteener ) if you care to see. All in all, I am totally happy with making both voyages on the Galaxy Diver II. Usually, when I travel to go diving I am glad I did it, but also happy to be heading home. While I still had these emotions when this trip ended, I was for the first time, actually tearfully sad because I had exceptionally good experiences and wouldn’t trade it for any other trip. These two weeks have been the flagship trip of my 70 years and I doubt any other trip can beat it. Thank you for getting back to me, I was sincerely surprised. I enjoyed our time together. Yours truly, Robert.” Recommended for: the crew. the food. the diving.

Review: Galaxy Diver II; Book: Galaxy Diver II 9.9 Exceptional from £393; $503; €460

Marvelous Maldives. The diving was fantastic and well planned. The meals were a genuine delight. The dinners on the beach under the milky way were very special. The crew was extremely friendly.” Recommended for: Diving, food, deck.
