- Sept 5: 5 Day Southern Islands Dive and Photography - (open, book now!)
4 Dive Sites & 4 Tank Fills Per Day, Plus Optional Night Dives
Wake up at anchor to the sound of the ocean lapping against the Vision’s hull. Enjoy a freshly cooked breakfast and hot coffee or tea as you get ready to dive! Hot breakfast is typically served from approximately 7:00 am to 9:00 am, and continental snacks are left out until about 10:00 am.
Dive gates typically open around 8 am after we get set up at the first dive site. Typical entry is a giant stride from either our port and starboard gates or the bow gate. If necessary, you may also enter off the rear swim step. Re-boarding the boat after your dive at the submerged swim step for easy access up the stairs with your tank. Air and nitrox tank fills will be handled by our crew during your surface interval.
Typically, the boat is moved to a new site after one or two dives. The galley prepares a hot lunch around noon, with additional snacks put out after the third dive of the day. After snack, a fourth dive is available, and depending on the weather conditions, we can sometimes make a fifth dive.
At the end of the day, we anchor in a cove for dinner and dessert. Conditions permitting, a night dive will be optional. Alcoholic beverages may be brought on the trip (there is no alcohol for sale on the boat) and may be enjoyed after you have finished diving for the day. The Vision is equipped with a full shower room with hot, fresh water showers, and has a wetsuit drying rack. In the evening, enjoy watching bioluminescence and the many fishes and pinnipeds that gather around our side-mounted squid light!
