You've decided to take a vacation to cruising indonesia and take one big step away from the daily dive spots. Or you're already hooked and have already booked your next liveaboard excursion. Here are some tips to keep in mind prior to boarding.
Many liveaboards sail far from home, multiple times zones apart. In order for your body to adjust to the huge time difference and also to get from jet lag, arrive at least one day before departure. Divers often land, board the ship and spend the first few days in a blur, sleeping or inattentive during briefings, or ignoring vital details regarding the boat or dive practices. Being a bit early means you won't be stressed out about missing the boat if you experience delays on your flight.
Pack Light
This is what you'll need if you're diving liveaboard such as flip-flops as well as quick drying shorts, skirts, loose T-shirts, perhaps a sarong, or few sundresses, at least two swimsuits or trunks as well as a fleece or hoodie to warm up your waterlogged body. The only thing you'll need the rest of your gear. You don't require makeup, elegant clothes and slacks, or the numerous pair of footwear. We promise you won't use these items. If you own your own diving equipment make use of the space in your luggage allowance for that.
Before you go, make sure you test your equipment
How many times have you said or heard someone say "I just had this gear repaired!" While it's a excellent idea to have your gear serviced before departing for a long dive trip It's a more beneficial idea to have it done prior to time so you can test your newly repaired gear prior to your trip and make sure that it's operating properly.
Please send any special requests as soon as possible.
Want to eat vegetarian on your vessel? Maybe you suffer from a food allergy, or would prefer a smaller tank. When you make your booking ensure that you let the company know of any special needs. This isn't the time you board the boat. Most, if not all, liveaboards are eager to meet guests' requests when given the time to do so.
Leave Your Marine-Life Expectations At Home
For months before your trip you pore over captain's reports and read about whale sharks, whales marine monsters, and mermaids and at the conclusion of your excursion you're upset because you didn't see one of these things you expected, do you? Just because something was spotted during a trip however doesn't mean it's going to occur on your trip. Wild animals aren't a thing, and they behave according to their nature. While there is no guarantee of sightings, your crew will do their best to increase your chances. Enjoy the moment and be happy with what you see.
Bring Tip Money
Your customs, culture and geographical place of residence aren't a reason not to leave a tip. Liveaboard crews live by tipping. Crew members will work tirelessly to make sure you have an unforgettable trip and you're secure on your journey. They'll leave in the event that they do not receive the reward they deserve for their hard work. The base pay rate for divers isn't high. You must plan 20% of the expense of the trip in cash. Place the money in an envelope. Not all companies will provide tips to crew members who use credit cards.
Don't Be Afraid to Talk With The Crew
The crew members on your charter will want to talk with you, even if they don’t speak your language. So chat with them and explore the possibility of getting to know them as thoroughly as you can. Don't be afraid to tell your crew when there's any issue. They can't help you if they don't understand. For questions or concerns regarding diving, to help with your gear or even if you want to have a laugh, even the quietest of crew members are happy to chat.
Trip Insurance
It is crucial to have it. In the event of bad weather, misplaced dive equipment or illness can ruin your trip. Although all of these scenarios are unfortunate, it doesn't have to be an issue if you have trip insurance. Charters can be cancelled when someone is sick. You may get hurt in the event that you go diving when you're sick. It is possible to rest and attempt again once you feel completely healthy.
Relax and have fun while planning your Triton bay liveaboard vacation. Don't sweat the small stuff. Is your camera malfunctioning? You can leave your camera behind and dive without using an optical viewfinder. Are your dive buddies irritating you? You can switch it up and use a guidelines to meet new people. liveaboard dive trips can be expensive, challenging and unpredictably. Don't let these things get to you. You've signed up for an adventure, so you must enjoy it.
