Question Livaboard recommendation

[Klopo]

I want to go on a trip to Europe next summer and I hope you can help me or give me a recommendation.
I am SSI AOWD and have completed the SSI Deco Diver by then. I will be going alone as my wife does not dive so I will be without a buddy. As I have never been on a liveaboard, I don't know what to look for. I would prefer to go in the European area. What do you pack in addition to your diving equipment for a one-week trip?

If you expand your range a little, you will find yourself in Egyptian Red Sea which will open up a whole world of good diving and boats. There are limited options for European liveaboards.

I tend to take not very much in addition to dive and camera gear, probably because I stupidly carry a stainless steel backplate and other heavy kit around the world with me. Absolute bare minimum clothes, laptop, toothbrush/toothpaste.

Red Sea would absolutly be in my range.

Is it usual to have working WiFi on the Boats, becuase i may need to do some work after Diving so that would be a key point ?

Definitely head to the Red Sea. The diving there is awesome. The liveaboards there are also very reasonably priced at the moment.

No. Most liveaboards regardless of the destination will not have reliable wifi. Some do when the boat is closer to shore but there are usually days in a row without even cell signal, especially on southern routes in the Red Sea. I consider this a positive aspect of livaboards. If you need reliable wifi you should stick to shore based diving.

Having just been on Grand Sea Serpent which advertised free WiFi, I would say no. The connection was pitiful.
