How to pay less
- Travel between December and February: the water is cooler (about 21–23 °C), but prices are at their lowest.
- Book a northern route: wreck and reef trips cost less than the marine parks and the Deep South.
- Watch for discounts: about a quarter of departures are on offer at any time, often close to departure.
- Compare the price per day: newer and bigger boats are not always more expensive.
What the price includes
Liveaboard prices normally include your cabin, all meals, guided dives, tanks and weights. Marine park or reef fees, nitrox, rental equipment, crew tips and sometimes airport transfers are extra; check each boat's details on Divebooker before you book.
