The MV Smiling Seahorse set sail for the first time in November 2018. Its steel hull is far better adapted to cutting through waves than a wooden hull, and its two superior engines allow it to explore further into the unknown. Despite the boat being larger than its predecessor, measuring 25 meters long and 6.4 meters broad, the eight bedrooms and toilets split across four decks can still accommodate 16 people.RooftopThe boat's top level is the ultimate lounge space. It features a shaded space with an outdoor living room and hammocks where you may rest, play cards, or take a nap in the shade during your surface interval. If you prefer to soak up some rays, the entire front of the boat is open and equipped with a selection of Thai-style seats and mats to create the ideal sunbathing area. This is also a great spot to gaze up at the stars and enjoy the serenity and tranquility of the open sea.The upper deck is split into two sections. A versatile common room near the back of the boat serves as the main assembly place. You'll be given delectable meals, have 24-hour access to snacks and drinks, meet with your diving team for pre-dive briefings, check the Marine life library to identify the amazing critters you saw, or sit back and rest surrounded by cushions. There are four large tables where you may comfortably eat, play games, or study your dive course materials and two bars on either side of the boat with chairs. There's plenty of counter space for snacks and the buffet, as well as a full-sized fridge filled with goods and a compartmentalized eco-friendly trash/recycling disposal system in the dining area. A large lounge area with cushions is at the very rear, ideal for a relaxing snooze in between dives. This common room is large and well-designed for relaxing or maybe having a small dance party to celebrate your cruise's success!The dive deck of the MV Smiling SeahorseA center panel with multiple cubby holes for masks and minor accessories and Nitrox analyzers and logbooks is available to each diver. Every diver has a basket for their fins, boots, and weight belt under each dive tank, and there are also spaces dedicated to hanging your wetsuits and wash tanks to remove the salt from your valuable scuba toys.In this meticulously built space, you will never trip over another diver, and the pleasant and professional personnel will treat you like royalty as you wait to jump off the diving platform at the sound of the buzzer. They also have special fin-friendly ladders so you can easily get back on the boat.They also offer certain bells and whistles available to any diver to help you get the most out of your diving experience. They mix NITROX onboard, custom-mixed to the depth of your next dive, and 15L tanks are available upon request. If you forget your reef hooks or need a new logbook, they can provide DIN adapters and even have a modest range of gear for rent or purchase.Don't you have your gear? No problem; just let them know ahead of time, and they'll have you fitted with MARES rental gear when you arrive.The MV Smiling Seahorse has security devices on board.On the MV Smiling Seahorse, safety and security are paramount when fish and fun are vital.

They know how important it is to have a well-planned and structured diving deck when sharing space with other divers because they are divers themselves.They designed this area to optimize space and provide specialized places to meet the demands of all divers.They keep dive groups small and schedule each group's gear-up and entry times to ensure that the dive deck, which is already spacious, never has too many people moving around at the same time. While your group is getting ready to dive, the next group will be performing safety checks and the group after that will be having their final swallows of water during their dive briefing upstairs.On the MV Smiling Seahorse, everyone is a VIP! For guests staying in ordinary cabins, there are two communal bathrooms on the diving deck.
