 Scuba
While On Your Caribbean Catamaran Yacht Charter
On the Yachts that offer diving, you are free each day to
plan a dive or two. Your captain will help plan your trip
around the style of diving you enjoy. After breakfast, an
afternoon dive after lunch and a night dive. In between there
is time for kayaking, Hobie Cat sailing, snorkeling or even
more diving if you wish. When the dive bell rings to announce
the next dive interested divers gather at the aft deck for
a briefing.
Dive briefings are very thorough using maps we
have of each site. After the briefing you have the  choice
to follow a dive guide or venture off on your own.
Guests handle their tanks as little as possible. Hand your BC
and regulator to the dive crew before the first dive and they
handle it from there. You simply step up to the waist-high tank
deck, where a crew member has your tank waiting for you to slip
into your BC. From there you either giant stride off the aft
deck or board the inflatable. After the dive you step up to
the tank deck and your tank is taken by the crew to be filled
for the next dive and stored out of the way. Almost like checking
your coat at a restaurant. Tanks with BCs and regulators in
place are stored on the back aft deck out of view of the canopied
aft deck. Masks, snorkels and dive accessories are stored conveniently
in dive bins located under the seating area which keeps the
dive deck from becoming cluttered.
A plush skin is about perfect for the water temperature in the
BVI in summer but in winter you'll need a light wet suit. The
water temperature is between 78 degrees in winter and 82 degrees
in summer. If you plan to night dive, make sure you bring your
own light.
Two equipment rinse tanks and fresh water shower hoses are located
at the back of the deck
