2 x 30’ (9 metre) purpose built dive boats carry up to 10 divers each in comfort to some of the best diving in the world, with Rainbow Reef, Great White Wall, and Somosomo Strait just 10 - 20 minutes from Garden Island Resort.
The boats start loading at 8:30 to 8:45 AM. After two dives, with a surface interval at a lovely beach where water, fruit and biscuits are available, the boats arrive back at the resort at approximately 1:00 to 1:30 PM for a late lunch and a relaxing afternoon.
The boats are covered , but have no windows. There are 2 easy to use ladders with hand rails, port and starboard of the aft engines. Staff are also there to help and guests can remove their gear in water if they have back or joint problems. An overhead drying rack is available for small items such as clothes, sunglasses, caps, etc. and others can go under the seats.
The boats are powered by twin 200HP outboards, so are very fast, cruising at 25 knots. The boats comply with international survey standards in safety gear. The decks are open plan and so putting fins on and shuffling to the back to get in, is no problem. There is no smoking allowed on the boats.
