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-it’s 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
Have a good look around- with only 30 pax, space is not an issue. Plenty of places to be or hide-your choice.
