Description
One of the best ways to experience diving is to go by liveaboard, where you live on the boat and do nothing but eat, sleep and dive for 7-14 days. Heaven on earth! If you dive in the developing world there will always be a visit to your boat by the friendly islanders. The Captain and crew trade staples to which the remote villagers have no access (rice, noodles, flour, soap etc.) in exchange for local fresh fruits and vegetables we need daily. We always bring school supplies, personal hygiene articles and always frisbees for gifts. Frisbees float, won't rust and have no need for batteries. No matter the language, even if they've never seen one before, once you throw a frisbee to a child you'll be rewarded with a catch and a delightful smile! These villagers were trading wit us in Papua New Guinea aboard the Stardancer.
