The boats

The centre operates Larry, a 26-foot custom-designed Dusky boat powered by an outboard motor. Designed to carry up to 7 divers, the vessel is ideal for maintaining small group sizes and providing a more intimate experience on the water.

On board, you will find chilled drinking water and dive snacks to keep you hydrated and energised between dives. The boat is equipped to handle morning and afternoon trips, including night dives, and provides Nitrox for those who require it.

Equipment and gases

The dive shop offers a full range of rental equipment, including regulators, BCDs, and wetsuits. If you only require specific items, you can hire masks, snorkels, and fins separately. For those staying for multiple days, a discount is available on non-boat equipment rentals exceeding 5 days.

For multi-day divers, the crew provides a service to rinse and store your personal kit. Nitrox is available on-site, with options for single or double cylinder fills.

Dive sites with Atlantis Dive Center

The ex-USS Kittiwake is a massive shipwreck sitting upright on a sandy bottom at depths ranging from 15 to 60 feet. Accessible to all levels, the wreck features five decks with penetrable areas including the engine room, the galley, and the captain’s bridge.

Soto's Reef is located just a few fin kicks from the centre, making it an ideal spot for shallow water training or relaxed shore dives. This reef is teeming with tropical fish and various coral formations.

Stingray City is a famous sandbar in the North Sound where you can encounter Southern stingray (Hypanus americanus) in their natural habitat. The waters here are calm and crystal-clear, making it an iconic experience for divers of all levels.

Marine life around Georgetown

The reefs around George Town are vibrant, featuring extensive colonies of corals and sponges. You will often see schools of horse-eye jacks and Great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) cruising through the water, alongside various tropical fish.

On the sandy bottom and around the wrecks, garden eels inhabit the substrate, and you may encounter stingrays or Southern stingray (Hypanus americanus). The area is also known for sightings of Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) and Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas).

Macro life and smaller residents include Green moray (Gymnothorax funebris) and various sponges that add texture to the reef structure.

Diving conditions

Diving in this area is characterised by calm seas and virtually no current, which makes it an excellent location for training and relaxed exploration. The water temperature remains steady throughout the year.

Access to the sites is consistent, with the shallow lagoon near the centre providing a protected environment for initial open water training dives.
