Each boat carries between 6 and 9 divers, keeping groups intimate and manageable. On board, you will find a fully enclosed cabin, courtesy seating for your equipment, and a dedicated rinsing tank. For those looking to capture the marine life, the boats are equipped with camera tables, and SeaLife 200HD underwater cameras are available for hire.
