There is plenty of space on board to relax with a book or socialise with your fellow guests. There is an air-conditioned saloon with high definition TV and entertainment facilities. There is internet on board although the signal varies depending on location.

Take your pick from 12 cabins: 10 double and twin bed cabins with ensuite bathrooms and 2 twin cabins that share a single bathroom.

On the diving side you will appreciate the small dive groups of 5 divers or fewer, and the availability of nitrox on board, as well as a limited number of 15 litre tanks. You will also be served snacks and fruit between dives as well as buffet-style al fresco meals to keep your diving energy tip-top.
