Scuba Diving
& Eco-Sailing
CREWED CHARTERS
Mobile Frames
No Frames Frames
Most crewed charters provide for snorkeling, and rendezvous diving
is available through dive companies whereby divers are picked up right off the charter
boat. However, a more limited number emphasis scuba
diving as part of the charter voyage. Often the crew will include a
divemaster/instructor and the boat will emphasize diving, but nicely balance diving with
other activities--these boats are listed under Emphasis on
Diving below.
Boats whose primary activity is
scuba diving are called Liveaboards, a term associated with hard-core
dive boats, but the BVI liveaboards engage in a lot of other activites as well.

Diving.
Scubada,
a 40' catamaran, run by David and Stella from England with world-wide cruising experience,
both PADI divemasters/instructors (divng included), both windsurfing
instructors, both married to each other and a lot of fun. Fitted with
three queen berths (and 6 sets of diving gear), Scubada is great for up to three
couples. Stella loves Mediterrean cuisine but presents a
true international menu in the best Caribbean tradition. |
