Best 40% last minute liveaboard deals

I’ve collated for you a list of the best 40% 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.

My experiences shows that 40% liveaboard deals are not as common as the other discounts available, which means they won’t hang around for long. So, because of this you will need to be quick to get one of these very cheap last minute deals for your liveaboard of choice.

Also check our page with liveaboard with 20% discount, 25% discounts, 30% discount and 50% discounts too.

Also, bookmark this page, as we will keep these 40% deals updated all the time.

If you’re diving on a budget, a 40% discount will go a long——–long way to saving you money. Which means your diving money goes 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 40% 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.

These last minute liveaboard deals are sorted in descending Deal Date” order, where the 40% deals with the furthest “Deal Date” are at the top of the list. If you would prefer to re-sort the table into last minute offers in ascending order select “Ascending” and press “Sort“.*

You can browse the deals, compare prices, choose your holiday date and book your diving safari at the best rates online! With flexible booking terms.

But in particular, you can check the reviews of the liveaboard you choose in the 40% deal list.

Amazing Liveaboard experience in Raja. I did the 10 day tour through the South of Raja Ampat, and had an amazing time! The crew is so welcoming and friendly, the south seems to be the less traveled route due to the distance covered, and we were usually the only divers at the site, and our groups were small with 3 divers to a dive guide. On top of the diving, I loved the food, and they were able to easily accommodate the vegan members onboard with some very delicious meals! I will definitely book with them again if Im lucky enough to visit paradise twice and highly recommend them.” Recommended for: The dives, the crew, and the food were amazing!

Review: KLM Gaya Baru Indah; Book: KLM Gaya Baru Indah 9.3 Superb from £200; $252; €232

Fantastic diving, amazing crew, great atmosphere. This liveaboard is excellent value for money. It goes without saying that the diving in Komodo is world-class (every dive was mind-blowing), but what made this a very special trip was the kindness and approachability of the dive and boat crew. The dive crew was incredibly knowledgable about the dive sites, which paid off because some were quite technical and had strong currents which, in the wrong hands, could have made for poor or difficult dives. The accommodation is okay – you get what you pay for at this price point, so it’s fairly no-frills – but it adds to the atmosphere of a Robinson Crusoe/pirate ship vibe. The food was plentiful and on the whole great, with a good mix of Western and Indonesian. I would highly recommend Scuba Republic in general and this boat in particular if you want a fun, friendly time on the boat on the an incredible time under the water.” Recommended for: Mind-blowing dives, very approachable crew and dive team, top quality equipment and safety protocols.

Review: Bajak; Book: Bajak 9.3 Superb from £118; $149; €137

Great diving in raja ampat, both western and indonesian meals, if are up for some chilli, can even have a taste of crew food. dive sites are checked out for current etc before going, dm’s are experienced and knowledgeable and can communicate in english. books onboard for identifying fish. can rest in cabin, restaurant or on upper deck between dives. crew takes good care of camera equipment and dingy is always there to get you after dives. lots of water to take showers. nitrox available!Recommended for: Friendly Crew, Professional management of logistics, teamwork.

Review: MV Raja Ampat Explorer; Book: MV Raja Ampat Explorer 9.3 Superb from £197; $248; €229

Unforgettable honeymoon to Komodo. This was the second half of our honeymoon (first 9 days in Bali), and it was a fantastic trip! Neptune One is a beautiful ship, out cabin was very spacious and comfortable with a balcony. The common area was centrally located and there was always drinks and snacks available, as well as fish ID books and games. The dive sites were really cool (except I guess Manta Point, where we swam for almost an hour through rubble but zero mantas) with a huge variety of soft/hard coral, fish and molluscs, and had many dives that went over an hour. Two night dives were included, and I loved both, wish they had more, but I guess it’s not for everybody. The handling of the dive gear and the dives themselves were organized in an exceedingly efficient manner, and I never in my life felt so pampered. Food was absolutely excellent and plentiful, with a super nice, romantic beach BBQ on the last night on a tiny island. They really outdid themselves on that one! But all these things pale in comparison to how utterly awesome and top notch our crew was. Athena, Nando (our amazing dive guide), Armando and all the others made this journey completely unforgettable. They were always super nice, polite, fun, and very accommodating. I can’t imagine how much planning and work must have gone into making this trip so smooth and awesome. I have been diving for over 15 years and this was my best trip ever, by a long shot. Highly recommended!!!” Recommended for: Crew, diving spots, Komodo dragons!

Review: Neptune One; Book: Neptune One 9.3 Superb from £247; $311; €287

All together we have dives with other liveaboard for the similan islands but we recommend this one as our favourite.Recommended for: New boat , great choice of dive spot , very professional.

Review: MV Smiling Seahorse; Book: MV Smiling Seahorse 9.3 Superb from £124; $156; €144

Overall it was on of my best diving for the past 15 years of my diving, I felt myself amazing. I recently had the pleasure of diving with the Andaman Scuba Dive Center, and it was an unforgettable experience. We explored stunning dive sites filled with vibrant coral reefs and were surrounded by incredible schools of fish—it felt like stepping into an underwater paradise. The crew went above and beyond to ensure the best experience possible. They were all incredibly kind, attentive, and highly professional. The food onboard was sensational, offering both Thai and continental dishes with fresh fruits at every meal.” Recommended for: Nice dive sites. Friendly staff. Very good soups.

Review: Bunmee 4; Book: Bunmee 4 9.3 Superb from £134; $169; €155

Little cruise ship that took me diving. The Caves of Babylon was a stunning dive in mammoth caves with a wall that fell into the abyss. Endless swim-thrus and cracks and crevices that beg to be explored. I could have spent my entire trip exploring this one site.” Recommended for: Food, islands, staff.

Review: MV Reef Endeavour; Book: MV Reef Endeavour 9.2 Superb from £164; $200; €187
