The best way to dive if you like diving, eating, cruising, diving, and diving a lot! Many cruises include land excursions of the local sights and that can break things up! Aqua Cat in the Bahamas will take you a shore of some cool keys or fishing. I myself don't miss too many dives and is the number one reason I do Live a boards a couple times a year! You get the most bang for the dive buck and more picture chances than just about any other dive opportunity! Many times it is the only way to get to some of the worlds best dive locations!
