See "more photos" to view 44 internal and external photos of this vessel. This custom built dive boat is currently operating in the Red Sea, Egypt. The boat has full licensing to operate as such. She has been built in 2004 according to the owner's specs. Unfortunately, when I was on board, my camera malfunctioned before I was able to take pictures of the engine rooms. The next day very early, the boat left on a mission, so there was no second chance. She offers a lot of accommodation, and is well appointed from a diver's point of view: spacious kit-up area, very comfortable dive platform and dive ladders. She has been designed to be self sufficient, hence the 3 generators, the onboard air compressor, large fridge and freezer capacity... Maintenance on this boat is an ongoing occurence, but will be a lot more easy with a crew that takes matters a bit more to heart than the current Egyptians. The hull of 7 cm thick planks, with ribs spaced some 20 cm apart, looks very sound and solid. I think this may make a good liveaboard dive vessel for the tourist industry in Asia, Micronesia, or Africa, or the boat may even be converted at relatively low cost into an oceanic research vessel.
