Our diving vessel Explorer
is a 40ft Way Marine dive vessel named Explorer, she was originally designed to operate mid channel which makes her a very stable dive platform, she currently has the largest covered clear deck of any vessel operating out of Plymouth which can accommodate 10 divers and kit with ease.

Dive boat Explorer has recently been refitted to provide a quality, safe diving environment she boasts a rear diver recovery lift, large kit bench and a deck toilet.
Explorer has all the safety equipment required by the MCA and is coded to operate 60 miles from the port of Plymouth.

For diver safety we always operate with two commercially endorsed dive charter skippers on board, both are DAN 02 Oxygen administrators possessing good knowledge of all the local dive sites and the local environment; we can accommodate all scuba diving skill levels from the novice to the expert.

The tidal run here is small even on spring tides so diving is unaffected most of the time
