More Open Water Diver course informationDive from our 7.5 m dive boat named “Evolution”, designed by a New Zealand marine architect in conjunction with real divers to suit all your diving needs. “Evolution” was built with safety and comfort in mind: the hull has pontoons that reduce roll, comfortable seating, tank racks and hand rails.
There is a safe swim platform at the back for your giant stride entries and a large ladder with handrails to make getting back aboard just as easy. Apparently, when it comes to boarding ladders — size does matter!
Our boats are also equipped with standard safety gear, and we have GPS, marine VHF, EPIRB, life-jackets, oxygen and first-aid on board.
We man our boats on every single dive with a qualified Boatmaster while you are underwater. Our skippers are also rescue-trained and are all experienced, highly qualified Instructors. Their job, for your safety, is to keep watch while you are guided underwater by a second Instructor.
We guarantee it will not be a trainee driving or manning the boat while you dive.
