With the ability to accommodate 25 guests across 13 well-designed cabins, this vessel was launched in 2000, meticulously crafted to cater to the unique needs of divers seeking extraordinary encounters, from swimming with Giant Mantas to face-to-face interactions with Great White Sharks in specially designed cages.
