The two forward cabins on the main deck feature wide upper and lower single bunks and have portholes. All cabins have private bathrooms, individually controlled air-conditioning and plenty of storage space.

Photographers always have safe places to put down their expensive cameras just before and after the dive, and the crew all know how to handle your expensive gear! There are 2 fast RIB's (dinghies, chase boats) for picking up and dropping off, and these are stored on the huge "whale deck" when the boat is underway. The dive deck is huge, making for easy dive preparation. And as you'd expect, Nitrox is available on board.

The spacious salon combines a comfortable dining and seating area, along with a well equipped entertainment center and a camera charging area with both 220/110 volts charging points - most boats have only 220V. The salon has is light and airy and has a relaxed atmosphere. You will also find a 24 hour refreshment/coffee corner with an espresso machine, and an extensive library of diving and marine life identification books. The upper deck has a huge sun deck, partly shaded with plenty of relaxation space and a refreshment area.
