All dive explorations and most of the dive courses are done by boat.
We own two boats. Both are made from GRP (glass-reinforced-polyester) by Drago-boats, (the bigger boat-manufacturer in Greece) and are re-designed for Scuba Diving use.
The smaller one, “Bourboulithra”(funny name for “bubble” in Greek) is an “open” boat with an outboard motor Yamaha 75HP engine and has a capacity for 6 divers. We used to use this boat daily for a few seasons and now we mostly use it as a “spare boat”.
The second boat is bigger and is called “Asterias”(Sea Star in Greek). It is the one we use on a daily basis now.
Asterias is a boat which was especially made for Scuba Diving excursions. Ιt was manufactured on 2004 and it was remade on 2005 to be more suitable for diving needs. It’s an “open deck” boat as well and with its 200HP stern drive diesel engine bring us fast and very comfortably to the various dive sites around Bali.
Although it can easily and safely transport 15 persons, for your comfort, we usually place o this boat a maximum of 2 groups of divers (4 certified divers in each group with a dive guide and the captain) or even less than that.
It is well-equipped with all proper equipment for safety, emergency and medical needs for its category as is requested by the Greek / European laws. Boat-to-shore communication, first aid and oxygen are standard equipment.
In the improbable case that a problem occurs just before the dive with your dive equipment, there are also tools and spare parts on boat to fix it.
The weight-belts are on the boat and so are the sheaths for the bottles. After you have prepared your dive gear we will bring it, for you, to the platform and we will help you to wear it. It’s very easy to exit from the platform behind the boat with a leader, where the entrance and exit from the water is really easy!
There is place, on deck, for your clothes or other small things which should stay dry, place for you to enjoy the sun or stay under the shade, fresh water, of course music and …..Let’s go diving!!!
