Onboard Diving Program
Our yacht offers a fully equipped onboard diving program designed to provide guests with safe, professional, and unforgettable underwater experiences throughout our cruising destinations.
The vessel carries six complete sets of scuba diving equipment, allowing multiple guests to dive comfortably during each excursion. All equipment is maintained onboard to a high standard to ensure reliability, safety, and ease of use.
The diving program is supervised by a certified Dive Instructor and supported by a Divemaster, providing professional guidance both in and out of the water. This allows us to accommodate a range of experience levels—from certified divers seeking advanced or exploration dives to guests who may wish to receive instruction or refresh their skills.
To ensure maximum flexibility, the yacht is also equipped with onboard cylinder filling capability, allowing tanks to be refilled between dives without relying on shore facilities. This enables guests to enjoy multiple dives per day when conditions allow.
For each charter, our dive team can create a customized dive itinerary based on the cruising area, guest experience levels, and prevailing conditions. Whether exploring vibrant coral reefs, dramatic walls, shipwrecks, or marine wildlife hotspots, we tailor the diving schedule to highlight the best sites available in each destination.
Safety, comfort, and environmental responsibility are central to our diving operations, ensuring guests can experience the underwater world with confidence while protecting the marine environments we visit.

Driven by a lifelong passion for the ocean and its extraordinary marine life, JP has built his career around exploring, understanding, and sharing the underwater world. He is a PADI Instructor with extensive experience gained across some of the world’s most iconic dive destinations.

These dives included regular encounters with bull sharks, tiger sharks, and hammerhead sharks, further strengthening his confidence, composure, and understanding of shark behavior in open-ocean settings. In addition to big-animal diving, he has extensive wreck diving experience, primarily in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Exploring historic wrecks has allowed him to combine technical precision with a sense of discovery, navigating complex structures while appreciating the cultural and ecological stories they hold. Whether guiding, teaching, or exploring, his approach to diving is rooted in safety, respect for marine ecosystems, and a genuine love for the ocean. JP is passionate about sharing this world with others and inspiring divers to connect meaningfully with the underwater environment.
