Are the trips primarily couples?
No. Typically 60%-70% of UnderseaX divers are single people traveling by themselves. The rest are couples or friends traveling together. So traveling alone is by no means unusual, and you will have the chance to meet new dive buddies! Many lasting friendships are made on our expeditions. If you are traveling alone, we can almost always match you with a roommate to save you money.

How old are the other people on the trip?
The typical UnderseaX traveler is a 30 or 40-something gay or lesbian professional with a sense of adventure and a desire for an active vacation. But we have divers in their 20s and some even in their 60s and better.

How many people will be on this trip?
The average group size varies. Usually 20-25 divers on land-based trips. Most liveaboards accommodate 16-20 divers. UnderseaX remains committed to creating intimate and fun environments where personal relationships are easy to make and nobody feels left out.

I'm traveling by myself. Do I have to pay the single supplement?
No. UnderseaX will assign you a room to share if one is available . Or, if you prefer, you can pay the single supplement and be guaranteed your own private room. Some exceptions apply.

Will I fit in?
You may be understandably wary of group travel. You may ask, "Will I fit in?" or "Will I meet people that I like?" In the past, guests have described their UnderseaX experience as "the best vacation of my life.", "Absolutely fantastic" and "the group was great."

Where are the other guests from?
While most guests come from major cities, it is not unusual to have people from all parts of the United States and a few from overseas. We have gay divers from Europe, Mexico, Taiwan and Australia. UnderseaX hosts a diversity of people-don't feel like you won't fit in, you will. That's why over half our divers are repeat customers.

Are your trips mixed; what is the percentage of men and women?
Most liveaboard trips are mixed, about 80% men and 20% women. We also offer exclusively "For Women Only" and "For Men Only" trips at least once a year.

Can I learn to scuba dive on your vacations?
Many of our vacations offer the opportunity to learn to dive, or to upgrade your certification level. PADI Scuba Divers should plan to upgrade to Open Water certification on the trip to dive independently with a buddy.
