How many dives per day?

Three is standard on a dive-focused trip, four on a liveaboard. A house reef adds unlimited shore dives. Plan a lighter day midweek to manage nitrogen loading and fatigue.

Is there anything to do above water?

Usually not much, by design. If a non-diving partner is coming, this is the wrong style. Look at Resort-Focused or Family Friendly instead.

Is this an advanced trip?

Not necessarily. Dive-focused means volume and site quality, not depth. Many are open to Open Water divers with recent experience. Check the site list for depth and current.

Dive-Focused Trips: The Diving Is the Point

You are not here for the pool. You want the boat to leave early, the sites to be the good ones, and the room to be clean and close to the dock. Everything else is optional.
