What
are the special features?
Bulbous
bow
The bulbous bow allows for a finer entry into the water, and keeps
the nose of the vessel level, which in turn stabilizes the entire
hull.
Hull
Stability
The extra wide beam allows more room inside the vessel, and this
coupled with the ballast tank arrangement prevent rolling while
on anchor
MTU
V12 main engine
We have more power than is needed, so we are able to run at reduced
revs, keeping the noise levels down and still maintaining good
speed.
Bow
and Stern Thrusters
These mean we can move away from a dive site in an emergency while
divers are still in the water with no danger from the propeller
Internet
Café
We have used the latest technology to be able to provide internet
access from 90% of our dive locations. Passengers shall be able
to e-mail home their digital images almost immediately after a
dive.
Entertainment
System
Plasma screens, Denon Hi Fi equipment, in-house movies, Xbox,
Intercoms-its all there. The entire boat is also wired with
Cat 6 computer cable for any future gizmos that come out.
Room,
Room, and more Room
