Wanted: Liveaboard Advice

[robint]

TravisD.... that looks like a fantastic trip with lots of fun for divers and non-divers. The video is a hoot. (that's Southern lingo for really funny!) Thanks for posting! I have gotta say that I would take a non-diver on that trip.

vladimir - I know what you mean about most liveaboards but if you check out the Aquacat videos you will see that they do lots of shore activities that could keep a non-diver interested. Plus I just think the Caribbean is much calmer water, especially on a "cat" boat, so not so much of an issue with seasickness.

Thanks Robin - Yeah, the boat was a blast. It's definitely NOT for the non-diver who wants to spend all their time "doing stuff" that's not boat-related. There's no shopping trips or night clubs for sure If your idea of a perfect surface interval is hanging out, napping, watching movies, reading, etc though it's PERFECT.

I did manage to get seasick once on the trip. During the "crossing" to the Eluteras the seas were rough, and for some reason I thought it was a good idea to go stand on the dive deck instead of staying closer to the middle of the boat. Other than that, no problem.

Surprisingly I don't think that anyone decided to take a kayak out or go snorkeling. It was certainly available though -- they were practically pleading with us to take them up on offers to take the SeaDog out for some more excursions.
