The Sea Red is a large, two-deck boat designed for comfort during extended trips. It features a large upper deck with sunbathing areas and comfortable bean bags, providing a space to relax between dives.

Onboard, you will find clean toilet facilities and catering services that include lunch and non-alcoholic beverages. The vessel is equipped to handle various dive types, including night dives, and provides Nitrox for divers requiring enriched air.

The centre provides a full range of rental kit that is well-maintained for every outing. Whether you are looking for a complete set or specific items, the equipment is kept to a high standard.

For those looking to extend their bottom time, Nitrox is available on site. The facility is designed to be efficient, ensuring that your transition from the boat to the shore is seamless.

The reefs and sandy bottoms of the area are home to a diverse array of marine life. You can regularly encounter sea turtles and various species of tropical fish among the coral formations.

For those looking for larger pelagics, the area is known for shark sightings, particularly around the walls of Elphinstone Reef. Dolphins are also frequently spotted in the area.

On the seabed, you may find dugongs and various species of moray eels. The reef structures themselves are teeming with life, including various coral species and tropical reef fish.

Divers should be prepared for varying conditions depending on the site. Elphinstone Reef is known for having strong currents, which makes it a site better suited for advanced divers.

While many sites are accessible to all levels, the open-water reef environments can present more challenging conditions than the sheltered reef flats.
