Liveaboard safety – how divers can change it and when to walk away

Liveaboard safety is crucial for divers, especially after recent accidents that resulted in fatalities. Divers can improve safety by asking detailed questions about the vessel’s safety features when booking, such as the presence of life-saving equipment and crew training. Upon arrival, it’s essential to check the boat against the information provided and participate in the safety muster drill. If there are any concerns about safety standards, it may be best to walk away from the trip. Ultimately, divers should prioritize their safety and call out substandard practices.
