I REALLY enjoy and prefer liveaboard diving forseveral reason.
The Aggressor Fleet & Peter Hughes are considered higher - end liveaboards. Charter fares usually range in the $2500.00 + category per person.
Except Thailand which is liveaboard heaven if you ask me. Liveaboards in other parts of the world outside of the Caribbean are and can be extremely expensive.
However, the Aggressor Fleet outside of the Caribbean in comparison with other liveaboards is still a bit more affordable.
For example - The Palau Aggressor is 2800 - 3200.00 per person on a seven day itinerary, compare that with the Ocean Hunter which visits the same sites and has the same itinerary [ at ] 4500.00 per person.
Closer to home you have a number of choices at various price ranges.
Again the Aggressor Fleet claims to provide high-end luxury, comfort and service and if that’s what you desire you pay for it.
If you want something more mid-level you need to look into some of the other liveaboard companies. That have charter prices in that range from 1400 - 1900.00 per person.
But price doesn’t always indicate comfort, service and luxury. I’ve heard good things about the Aggressor and PH and I’ve heard bad things as well.
I take a number of liveaboard trips a year so I look for value, service and quality.
I’m concerned w/the vessel, the crew, tgheir professionalism and customer service, and lastly the safety record of the vessel.
The Cuan Law targets more families and couples where neither wants hard core diving but more shore excursions and more land to play on. Cuan Law even has an on-board spa for ther guests.
It’s really nice and spacious. If your spouse doesn’t dive, there are plenty of shore excursions to keep them from being bored.
Cuan Law only does about 2 - 3 dives per day from a skiff. It’s a land based resort schedule just floating around on a catamaran.
If you need more information just send me a message and I’ll share what I know. BTW - "Vertical Call" that’s awesome!
