Hi guys!
I'm doing my first-ever liveaboard in January, and I'm SUPER EXCITED!!! I've been making my way through all the "first liveaboard" threads that I can find, and have gathered a ton of really good information, especially on what to pack (back ups for all essential gear) and what not to pack (clothes ). But what I haven't found much of is information on some of the logistical stuff (I even checked out cruise forums and blogs from people living on boats):
-how do you keep toiletries from flying around in the bathroom?
(my room has a private, ensuite bath, so I'm thinking bring a couple mesh bags- one for shampoo/conditioner/razor, one for toothbrush/toothpaste/comb- and loop it around something, maybe secure with a little carabiner?)
-what do you do with your camera between dives? where do you keep it at night?
(when I do regular day-boat trips, my camera gets dunked in the rinse tank, then wrapped in a towel and placed in a padded bag and tucked somewhere safe til I get back to shore)
Am I overthinking things?
I'm sailing the Amira, if anyone has personal experience with that specific vessel. I know there's a large camera room, but I don't like the idea of leaving my camera on a counter unattended...
