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.

Cocos island in luxury. The chef was brilliant as were the crew who did everything to make the guests feel welcome. The visibility was a bit poor but we still got to see many sharks and Manta Rays. The only thing that spoilt it was that I was not told that a pcr test was required before being allowed to board which cost me a lot of money last minute. Recommended for: The crew were exceptional, the food magnificent and the Whaleshark on the last dive.

Review: MV Okeanos Aggressor II; Book: MV Okeanos Aggressor II 8.5 Fabulous from £321; $411; €376

The Crew and Island are the entire trip! Cannot emphasize enough how fabulous this trip was. Cocos Island has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth … both out of and under the water. Capt. Mauricio is an absolute gem! Always laughing and helped me when I got a little nervous with the 5ft+ swells, gave me the nickname Scarey Shark – hahahah! As a matter of fact the entire crew were gems! Each one always had a smile on their face and made sure that your stay aboard the Cocos Island Aggressor was perfect. Warren the Cruise Director/Dive Guide was passionate, knowledgeable and did an amazing presentation at the end with the video of our trip. You can tell he loves Cocos and diving … I think sometimes he got so wrapped up in enjoying the dive that he forgot he was our dive guide. Our server Eduardo was spectacular; had our drinks ready at each meal, our room turned down with chocolate each night and EVEN DID LAUNDRY (which is a huge plus on such a long trip) The rooms were nice and comfortable. The WC had a slight odor but seriously what do you expect from a boat. There were designated space under the beds for suitcases which was also a plus. The diving was out of the this world. El Niño ended in April and we were in a La Niña with colder water which brought in the sharks. Oh my goodness were there sharks! Hundreds of sharks! But not only that we saw a Manta, Whale Shark, sharks mating and one person in our group saw a Stripped Marlin in the distance not to forget ALL the fish! We were in the rainy season which I was not looking forward and now I think that is the only time to go. This brought in alot of rain, wind and big swells so trips in the panga were quite bumpy but also brings in all the large pelagics. The land tours were great too. Thank you to the crew of the Cocos Island Aggressor! Can’t wait to come back!” Recommended for: Crew, Cleanliness, Laundry Service.

Review: MV Cocos Island Aggressor; Book: MV Cocos Island Aggressor 8.5 Not rated from £356; $456; €417

Diving in the Galapagos you will see hundreds of hammerheads, marine iguanas and schools of many different types of fish. Seeing schools of hammerhead sharks at Darwin and Wolf Island Swimming with marine iguanas and seeing them eat green algae underwater at Fernandino Island Swimming with Galapagos sea lions and how playful they were. Seeing flightless cormorants dive for fish. Seeing Mola-Mola. The food and juices on board were great. The boat was very clean and the staff were friendly. The dingy rides around the smaller islands that allowed us to observe endemic birds was really cool.” Recommended for: Diving at Darwin and Wolf Islands with schools of hammerhead sharks. The food on board was spectacular. At each of the islands after diving, they took us on the dingy to see the edemic birds.

Awesome. The crew was absolutely fabulous. They made the cruise and the diving a truly memorable experience.” Recommended for: Crew, crew, crew.

Review: MV Horizon 3; Book: MV Horizon 3 8.5 Fabulous from £136; $174; €159

Amazing Safari on Sea LegendWe’ve just been on the dive Safari on the boat SeaLegend and it was absolutely amazing!! I can recommend this Safari to a 100%. We stayed in a honeymoon Suite which is really big, defenitely bigger than it looks on the pictures.

We had a queen size bed which was very confortable and enough room to store all our belongings, which were quite some (we had two big suitcases). The boat itself was very very nice, with also a lot of space and modern design. The staff on the boat, the instructors and also the owner Ali who was with us on the boat, we’re extremly friendly and helped wherever they could.

THey always had a smile on their face and we felt like our own family is welcoming us. The food on the boat was absolutely outstanding, from a whole turkey or duck, to great lamb, fish, crabs, just everything was delicious!! It incredible that it is possible to make such nice food with so little space, huge compliment to the Chef. Also if you had any allergies or were for ex. vegan, you didn’t have any problems, because the Chef made special meals for those people.

The divesites were (concerning the shark triangle) the ones that we expected to go and we haven’t been disappointet, saw hammer head sharks, cuddly napoleons and a lot more (one group even saw a Mola Mola Wow!) The dive guides we dove with took very good care of us and we always felt safe. I still recommend this trip to more advanced divers and not to beginners, as currents can occur (but that’s were a lot of the sharks are) Also the further divesites were very well chosen and really beautiful (for ex. Abu Dabbab 2-4). What was great was that the team was still very flexibel, so as we spotted around 20 dolphins close to the boat, we could follow them with the zodiac and just go into the water right where they were (A dream has come true!!). We also did our deep diver with Khattab on the boat, which was very well done by him. As said we alwaysd felt safe and secure, but also educated well about the risk of deep dives etc.

Khattab defenitely did a great job on that so thank you very much!! I think we defenitely improved our diving skills again. We totally enjoyed our safari, also the evenings after the dives, were we sat all together, were hearing music having a lot of fun and just had a great time together! Therefore I want to thank the whole Team of the Sea Legend the instructors, Dive Pro and the operator Ali for this wonderfull time, we will defenitely come back! All the best from Michèle, Philipp and Nadia.Recommended for: Boat Cabin, Divesites, Food.
