After the Sale of Osprey and Cod Hole Liveaboard Nimrod Explorer a few months ago, I am extremely sad to announce the Cancellation of the Undersea Explorer operation as at Tuesday.
Talking to the owners over the last couple of days, it appears that this highly successful operator over the last 15 years has been forced to close down its operation immediately.
For those of you who had the pleasure of doing this trip, either to the usual Osprey and Cod Hole or the very rare Raine Island expeditions, it now appears likely that choices will now become very limited.
It seems that no-one is immune from the global downturn, and divers wishing to explore remote area's around the world have just suffered another hit.
I am very happy to say however that John .... the Skipper and Operations Manager of the old Nimrod has now found a new job skippering another liveaboard out of Cairns.
In fact talking with the Owner of this Company we are disscussing as we speak the opportunity of a liveaboard for the the Port Douglas area. The mooring blocks have been laid, the reef sites inspected and now its just down to the transfers etc.
Will keep you posted.
