Diving from Conch Pearl
is easy!
There are gates on both sides of the deck, so two divers can deploy
at the same time. From the deck of the boat to the water's surface
is about four feet, so be ready for a giant stride entry. On the
port side of the boat is our custom dive ladder. It's got a gentle
slope and wide rungs for an easy exit from the water.



Tanks are filled by a diesel compressor on the stern of the boat.
This convenience allows us to stay away from shore for days at a
time. Because space is limited, all dive gear remains on deck and is
secured to the lifelines amidships.
Aboard the boat we stock weights, weight belts, and tanks. So bring
along your own dive gear, including mask, snorkel, fins, BCD and
regulator. You'll also need a dive light if you plan on night dives.
A surface signal device, like a tube or flag, is recommended
(especially if you are an inexperienced navigator). You'll need a
wet suit if you're booking winter or spring, or plan on dives deep
enough to have a thermocline.
For your safety, we carry a
DAN oxygen kit in the case of emergency. We also have a diver
recall system that we can deploy and speak to you while you are
underwater. As an added measure we also have a bullhorn to be
able to speak to you across greater distances at the surface.
Three dives a day are the norm. Sites include reef, wreck, and night
dives. Some sites require we pick up a mooring ball and at some we
drop the anchor.
