The destination
H2O Below departs from Southwind Marina. It readily appears on your phone and most vehicle GPS systems. The drive from the shop takes a little over three hours. Because you must be at the boat no later than 7:00 am, you may want to book a hotel room for the night before. Something along I-10 will be more affordable than a hotel closer to the water.
The vessel
The H2O Below is a 36-foot Newton, certified to carry 24 divers. For everyone’s comfort, trips are limited to 16 divers. The spacious deck, large swim platform and sturdy ladder provide a safe staging area. A travel line is deployed to make your descent and ascent safer and more enjoyable.
It is the only dive charter boat in the local area inspected by the US Coast Guard annually. Additionally:
- Runs an average of 20 knots
- New “Tier 2” engine (no diesel fumes!)
- Dry storage
- Freshwater showers
- Fully enclosed head
- Large camera/equipment table
- Large coolers for food and drinks
- Fresh fruit, lunch or snacks provided during charters
- Functional marine head (toilet) accessible at all times
- Custom tank racks
- Enclosed area for private changing
- Captain always on the boat
- Full safety equipment including emergency oxygen and certified crew
The diving
The charters we have scheduled will be to one or two inshore wrecks. These have depths no greater than 85 feet. Still, these are considered deep dives, so deeper diving experience is essential.
