The Dive Deck

This boat has a large spacious dive deck ensuring that you always feel relaxed and comfortable whilst gearing up for those wonderful dives. No need to move tanks around as all tanks are continuously filled at their stations so just set up your gear on the first day and then forget about it. 15 litre tanks and enriched air (Nitrox) are available for rent.

Either the two dinghies will transfer you to the dive sites or entry will be off the dive platform. Most pick-ups are made by the dinghy for your convenience.

The tour leader on the boat will brief the dive sites prior to every dive. The briefings are thorough and very interesting helping you to have more knowledge about the underwater world, and to recognize what you're seeing. Divemasters are provided for your convenience and safety though you are welcome to dive just with your buddy if you so choose.
