Liveaboard Life

We met at 5:30pm for a briefing before getting on the boat. There was a huge thunderstorm raging, and we found out they had to park the boat at a different port the night before because the seas had been rough, so we had a two hour bus ride before reaching the boat. They weren't sure if we'd sail that night or in the morning. I was nervous. So afraid that I'd feel sea sick and be miserable the whole trip. I'm really not sure why I worried so much - I was always fine on the boat with my dad. We made it to the boat, had dinner, and went to bed. Once I was down inside the enclosed cabin I felt a little queasy, but it soon passed and I never felt sea sick. Whew! Time to relax and have fun! Here was our daily routine:

• wake up at 6am and have a light breakfast
  
• dive
  
• have a bigger breakfast, chug a liter of water, and take a nap.
  
• dive
  
• have lunch, chug a litre of water, and take another nap or share the last round of pictures with your new friends
  
• dive
  
• cookies and coffee, another liter of water, enjoy the sunset
  
• night dive
  
• a hearty dinner, and... another liter of water, and then to bed around 9pm!

Repeat for six days.


Diving with Sea Bees on the Marco Polo was a great experience. Excellent food and excellent dive masters. It was the easiest diving we've ever done in terms of work to fun ratio. I'm sure will be planning another liveaboard trip soon!
