The answer to the question ‘What Does Liveaboard Mean?’ Essentially the meaning of liveaboard is a boat that’s been designed for people to live aboard it. The answer to the question ‘What is a liveaboard boat?’ A liveaboard boat is a boat used by recreational scuba divers for expeditions or diving holidays.

I’m the diver behind Scuba Diving Earth. My first dive was on the Great Barrier Reef in 1989 and since then I’ve dived hundreds of times around the world. I’m a BSAC Dive Leader, have been a BSAC diver trainer and the Diving Officer of a Saffron Walden BSAC Club. I live in the UK near to the New Forest in Hampshire with my lovely wife Jo. I enjoy scuba diving around the world, but now mostly in the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean. I have a love of diving where I can see sharks. My favourite so far was seeing Whale Sharks on the Ningaloo Reef in Australia.
