At least you know how to use a DSMB (alot don't !)
I love liveaboards, wake up, have a dive ,get breakfast, have another dive etc.
No lugging around gear or swapping over tanks all the time, just take off your first stage after each dive, the crew fill your tank while you off gas, reconnect first stage and you're ready to go.
Remember to take a few spares (O rings, cable ties, reg clips etc) as you won't be coming back to port untill the last day. Don't take too many clothes though, you will spend most of the week in swim shorts, and a T shirt and longer trousers for the evenings. You don't wear shoes on board either.
The brothers is fantastic, wish I was going with you !
Have a great trip
