Discover the Ultimate Way to Dive
Discover a different way to dive. Stay aboard dedicated dive boats and explore remote reefs, wrecks, and marine life encounters that day boats can’t reach. Whether you’re looking for big pelagic encounters, unspoilt coral gardens, or week-long underwater adventures, liveaboard diving is the ultimate way to experience the ocean.
Unlike resort-based diving, liveaboards let you wake up right on top of the action, often moored at remote sites few others reach. With no daily transfers, more dives per day, and the chance to explore entire regions in one trip, it’s a dive-eat-sleep-repeat experience designed for those who want to go deeper into the blue.

“The trip was organised by Jeremy at Sea to Sky. His attention to detail through the booking process, right through to his first hand knowledge of the dive sites was superb. It led to the holiday being truly relaxed, and wanting a teenager to come back with her friends for a diving course.”
“I had already 2 trips with Sea to Sky and I can warmly recommend this company! Friendly people best organisation and professional diving trips. With Sea to Sky you are in very good hands and your holidays are worth booking.”
“I’d been looking for a trip that blended site seeing, diving, great locale and authentic restaurants and can not recommend this company enough. Travelling as a single person in a new country can daunting, but Sea to Sky made my travels easier than I could have expected”
