How my Business trip turned into a holiday
Are you aware of the new holiday sweeping the world called “Liveaboard diving”? This is an easy holiday for people to arrange, all you need is a bloat and a plane ticket! Liveaboard holidays are mainly for people in groups, or for families, it could get very lonely if you went on your own.
Wondering what Liveaboard means? Well in simple truth all it is, is a boating holiday. This holiday you simply travel around on a luxury yacht, usually in a warm location, such as the Maldives. Taking the boat out to see is a joyous experience anyway, all you need is plenty of food, sun tan lotion and drink. I was lucky enough to be taken on one of these holidays for a business trip. After arriving in the Maldives, we went to a local port where our “Yacht” was waiting for us, it bore the name “Monsoon” on it’s side.
I had anticipated a sit down holiday where we would discuss business; however my client had other ideas. One day of work was all that my client wanted to do, so the rest was just holiday time. After the one business meeting, we headed off to many diving locations. Diving is one of my Forte’s and i have enjoyed it through my life, so I was in my element. If you are enjoying yourself it is quite difficult to keep a professional mind on your shoulders. We were even lucky enough to go free diving with a Whale Shark, I couldn’t believe our luck.
Basically I spent about 7 hours completing business and about 13 days diving in the warm tropics of the Indian Ocean, not bad going. Liveaboard diving is a must for everyone and anyone, although it is very expensive, it is well worth saving up for. This holiday has proven to be amazing. Everyone has wierd nasty thoughts about swimming alone in the ocean, but as long as the boat is in sight, it couldn’t be more relaxing and calming.
Diving holidays and Liveaboard diving is unmissable, not a very technical word, but there are few ways to explain it, so whey not give luxury holidays a go in the Maldives!
