Who this list is for
This list is for certified divers heading out on a one-week liveaboard trip. It’s focused on personal dive gear, documentation, and safety items, not large equipment or general travel needs.
How to use this list
First, confirm with your liveaboard operator which tanks, weights, and rental gear are provided. Pack your passport or photo ID, diving certification card, dive insurance details, and your liveaboard booking confirmation. Bring your dive logbook. For gear, pack your own mask, snorkel, fins, wetsuit or rash guard, dive computer, surface marker buoy, and an underwater torch if night diving is planned.
Common mistakes
Divers sometimes leave behind certification cards or insurance details, which are required for boarding. Don’t rely on rental gear being available—double-check what’s provided. Skipping a dive logbook can make it harder to join certain dives. Forgetting a surface marker buoy or torch can limit your options, especially for night or drift dives.
