What to expect

We'll begin the dive by descending the rope located at the bow of the boat, at about 22 meters.

Upon reaching the end of the rope, we'll head directly to see the propeller located at a depth of 32 meters.

From here, we'll ascend to the aft deck where we'll begin exploring the various confined spaces, starting with the hold, where we'll find an airlock.

We'll continue through the engine room, passing through the galley, and ending in the captain's cabin, where we'll be able to see the cockpit.

There are other rooms that are more difficult to access and of little interest to the diver.

Finally, we'll explore the entire deck of the boat, looking for conger eels hidden in some of the Boreas' endless nooks and crannies.

Remember to check your computer often, as it's easy to enter decompression mode.
