5 Reasons You Should Try A Freediving Liveaboard

Most divers know that scuba diving liveaboards exist, but freediving liveaboards are increasing in popularity. These liveaboards are designed to give the same experiences of a scuba diving liveaboard: providing food, accommodation, and non-stop diving adventures, with the exception that the diving adventures are centered around dive sites that are excellent for snorkelers and freedivers. So why, as a freediver, should you book a freediving liveaboard for your next vacation to the Galapagos islands?

1-Easy access to the best dive sites :
One of the best parts of vacationing on a freediving liveaboard is the easy accessibility of many different dive sites. If you just go on a vacation by the seaside, you may have access to some dive sites, which will require a boat or a car. With a freediving liveaboard, the transportation part is taken out as you are moving while you are having a comfortable lunch/dinner, or while you are sleeping soundly in your cabin. There is a greater possibility of seeing all different kinds of marine life and corals while also saving on transportation time and maximizing comfort.

2-Taking a Freediving Course or Training
You may be able to have a few training sessions while onboard. The same goes for a freediving courses, whether you are taking a beginner course or advancing up the freediving ladder. This way, you can enjoy some fun dives in beautiful locations while improving your freediving skills. If this is important to you, you can contact the liveaboard ahead of time and ask if they can provide depth for training or an instructor for a freediving course.

3-Dive Sites Tailored To Your Level
Whether you are an occasional snorkeler or a freediver that can comfortably dive to 40m (131ft), your guide on the liveaboard will find the appropriate dive sites for you. They understand that more experienced freedivers can handle stronger currents, and that beginner freedivers need shallower sites with calmer conditions. The dives can be tailored to every person’s needs.

4-Food and Accommodation Included
A freediving liveaboard is a package deal, which can be a very attractive selling point. Instead of calculating the total sum of hotel expenses, a budget for restaurants, and figuring out transportation, you can just have all of your costs bundled into one price. The price for some liveaboards may seem steep, but make sure to realize that the cost includes many aspects of your vacation, not just the freediving, which takes even more stress and planning off of your shoulders.

5- The unique marine life 
Nearly 20% of marine life in Galapagos is endemic, found nowhere else on earth.
The Galapagos Islands are home to the world’ s only marine iguana and the most northern-living penguin. Coral beds share the same waters as fur seals. Galapagos is one of the only places where pelagic species — species that live neither close to the bottom of the ocean nor near the shore — can be seen close to shore, such as tunas, spotted eagle rays, golden rays, and hammerhead sharks. No other site in the world showcases such a diversity of marine life forms. 
Additionally, geological and biological processes in Galapagos have helped create a high variety of habitats relative to other marine areas in the eastern Pacific. Coastal areas include vertical cliffs, sandy beaches, rocky shores, mangroves, coral reefs, lagoons, and salt flats (hyper saline panne habitats). Submarine mountains, plateaus, ridges, and valleys provide habitat to an array of marine communities, while the open ocean waters attract stocks of pelagic fish.
