Hi,
I'm shortly off on my 1st liveaboard trip, having scooped a late deal on the Cyclone out of Sharm. I've read through other posts on this board re the boat, and it sounds great.
I have a couple of questions.
My current travel insurance, covers me to 30m. It is a very good quality insurance policy, that I get via my credit card (free coverage if I book a holiday on the card), but I'm wondering if 30m is going to be enough on this trip, or will it limit me, and/or p' off my buddies? I'm on the 'Wrecks and Reefs' itinerary, so expect to do the Thistlegorm and others, but probably not deep stuff like the Rosalie Moller, nor any penetration/overhead.
I'm an RD going on Divemaster in training, done lots of shore based tropical and some UK diving. Previous deepest 36m on Elphinstone (we were in a ripping current, and just kinda ended up there as a group - the point is I'm happy going deeper, I don't necessarily 'need' to go deeper, but if its likely, prefer to know about it in advance, and I don't want that to happen again uninsured. I don't want to potentially limit what I and buddies can do on this trip, by my 30m insured limit).
2ndly. I read one detailed trip report on the Cyclone here (cracking post, you know who you are, you x-posted it on Divernet), so have some idea of what to expect from a liveabord. Does anyone else have any general tips for a first timer?
Cheers!
