The Loyal Watcher was purchased by us from deepblue diving in 2004 and has undergone an extensive  refit to bring her upto the modern and comfortable standards expected today. She is coded by the MCA to category 2 which allows us to operate upto 60 miles offshore with 12 passengers and upto 6 crew. she also has a full stability book and associated requirements to increase this to category zero (unlimited distance offshore) if required. She is a very stable platform to go diving off, where ever you may chose to go.

Guided tour

The Main Deck. The first thing you notice once boarding the loyal watcher is the amount of deck space there is. we have bench seating to sit comfortably 15 trimix divers with side slings attached( so no more wrestling with kit on the floor). There is also storage for kit under the benches for dive boxes to keep the rest out of the way. this still leaves loads of deck space for scooter etc. We keep 15 He and 20 O2 cylinders with an additional space for another 40 if required for expeditions etc. there is a bank of  5 premix cylinders with 10/52 and 15/50 for rebreather fills and a bank of 10 80lt 350bar air cylinders for all of your gas needs, this is all piped through a trimix panel and direct to a gas booster pump for O2 and trimix fills. There is 3 air compressors onboard giving as much clean air as required. For exiting the boat during dives there are 2 platforms which stick out either side of the boat making it as safe as possible. There are 2 ladders for getting out of the water which are designed to work in the roughest of conditions where a lift would not be suitable on this type of vessel.

The Upper Deck. There is a large upper deck with bench seating and tables for relaxing and getting away from it all. We also have a BBQ for those hot evenings when you fancy something different to a hot roast dinner.
