Diving Aboard Bottom Time

SpearFishing Tournament Details - Click Here

Our dive boat is an aluminum hulled vessel, 38' with a COI for 20 divers. We usually limit our trips to 15 people to avoid the over-crowded "cattle-boat" experience we have all endured before.

She has a new engine, fresh water shower, and all required safety equipment.

Large swim platform and ladder.

Large cockpit with EXTRA-WIDE benches with slots for tanks, to allow you to sit even with your BCD and tank on.

We have several dive sites - click here for more information.

Dives can also be booked through Nu Horizons.

To ensure a place on the vessel due to the limited number of passengers, we ask that you make reservations. Once we fill the boat we do not take any more reservations, so we have a cancellation policy. The expense of running the vessel dictates that a minimum number of passengers be on board every trip. So if you need to cancel, we need time to fill your place(s). Please review the reservation/cancellation policy before you reserve a place on the vessel for yourself or your party.

Cancellation for Single Diver: Cancellation must be made 48 hours prior to scheduled departure time. Cancellation made with 48 hours subject to full charge.

Cancellation for Three or More Divers: Cancellation must be made 5 days prior to scheduled departure time. Cancellation within 5 days is subject to full charge.

Group Charters: Cancellation must be made according to contract and will vary with the number of divers included in the reservation. Ask when booking.

The full deposit will be refunded on any trip we cancel due to weather, insufficient divers for the trips, etc. We cannot guarantee the clarity of the water or sea conditions. Our boat captain will always attempt to get you to where you want to go, but the safety of our passengers and the vessel is always the foremost consideration.

If it is not possible to get you to the primary site, it is usually possible to get you to an alternate site. In that case, you will only be charged for the trip that was actually run, cancellation is not an option. There will be times that the Divemaster will determine that the conditions are not safe for divers. At this time, we will attempt a different site. It is the sole discretion of the Divemaster to determine the safety of any dive. An alternate selection for a dive site may result in a reduced rate for the day's dive.

 
 

Rental equipment is available for dives with reservations. Most of our divers are experienced and usually have their own equipment so rental equipment is limited. Tanks are available for rent as well and we have a sufficient supply for a full boat of divers. Nitrox is available for divers with Enriched Air certification. If you have your own tanks, bring them the night before and we can fill them with your desired mix prior to departure for a fee.
