Mission Statement
We help divers to stay current and to develop their skills,
strengthen the local diving community and industry, and support
local training centers by providing reliable, affordable water
transportation and dive guide / dive master services.
We don’t cut corners, nor take risks. There will always be another
day to be out on or under water. Missing divers are
time-consuming, and dead divers are creepy and cause a lot of
paperwork. Damaged boats are ugly.
