Boats and SCUBA cylinders:
Our 8 meter motorboat takes up to 12 divers with gear. It is equipped with a convenient ladder platform which is designed for easy entry and exit of the water. We also have a 5,7 meter rubber boat. Usually we use it for two-tank dives or private dives. It can accommodates up to 6 divers. Our boats carry all necessary emergency equipment such as oxygen on board. We have first rate rental equipment mainly from MARES. With our 400 liter/minute capacity compressor we can fill all the tanks. In addition we operate a BAUER 200 liter/minute compressor as a back-up. We own 70 steel scuba tanks.
