Dive Boats - Custom designed to make diving easy
Versatile and fast, our boats are custom designed to make diving easy
Our two custom designed boats, "Shirley" and "Volan", are the fastest dive boats in St. Lucia! We take maintenance seriously and to keep our boats as reliable as possible, the engines are dealer serviced every 100 hours and replaced every 2 years or 1500 hours whichever comes first.
For your comfort and safety the boats are driven only by experienced, licensed and insured Boat Captains who remain onboard whilst divers are in the water. The boats are fitted with VHF Radio, Cellphone, Navigation and Cabin Lighting, Personal Life Preservers, Drift Line and Float, DAN Oxygen Equipment, Divers Below Buoy, Flares and a First Aid Kit. Complimentary cold drinks and snacks are provided between dives. Both boats are inspected annually by a Marine Surveyor and the St. Lucia Air & Sea Ports Authority (SLASPA).
Dive Boat "Shirley"
Dive boat "Shirley" is 29 ft long. Moored at the Dive Centre she will accommodate up to 10 divers with all equipment necessary for a two-tank dive.
Her two Mercury 150 HP four-stroke outboards give her a top speed in excess of 40 mph and being gasoline powered, there is no nasty smelly exhaust smoke like a diesel powered boat. "Shirley" is fast, clean and quiet!
A custom designed platform offers easy access into the water via a giant stride entry, and exit is via a custom built ladder with broad flat wooden steps and a convenient grab rail. There is a storage locker for personal items that you wish to keep dry during the trip. To protect you from the sun there is over 20 feet of covered deck area. There is a small sun deck at the bow to catch the sun during surface intervals.
"Shirley" is the ideal boat for small personal groups and her multi-purpose design makes her great for diving, snorkelling, sightseeing and private boat charters for family groups.
Dive Boat "Volan" (Creole for "Flying Fish")
Dive boat "Volan" is 35 ft long. Moored at the Dive Centre she is licensed to carry 20 passengers (15 divers) with all equipment necessary for a two-tank dive.
Her two Mercury Verado Supercharged 300 HP four-stroke outboard motors give her a top speed in excess of 35 mph and being gasoline powered, there is no nasty smelly exhaust smoke like a diesel powered boat. "Volan" is fast, clean and ultra quiet!
Two platforms at the rear offer easy access into the water via a giant stride entry, and exit is via two custom built ladders with broad flat steps. At the bow there is a large storage locker for items that you wish to keep dry during the trip.
