Dive Zone Scuba will resume commercial diving charters beginning 15 March 2015 from Freeport TX. Initial trips include 20 mile rigs and the VA Fogg / Star reef area.
The vessel is a 31 foot diesel powered vessel with a large cockpit specifically modified for transporting up to 6 divers and 3 crew. There are over 20 roll control tank holders and a total of 14 seat positions in the cockpit. The entire cockpit has overhead cover. The vessel contains a transom gate to a large swim platform with a flat rung ladder and a cockpit shower. There is also an enclosed head with shower, galley, and inside seating for 4. Rental equipment is available including tanks, weights, and nitrox fills. Safety equipment includes 2 EPIRBS, offshore rated personal floatation devices, and a life float. This is a much more spacious and dive dedicated vessel than our previous dive boat.
The vessel will always have at least one USCG captain and one usually two PADI instructors aboard for AOW deep dives and deep certifications. There will also normally be one PADI certified divemaster.
The boat can be booked completely by individual seats. We anticipate the availability of individual seats as a primary function of the vessel is for shop AOW and specialty dive certifications. For every $999 divers spend with Dive Zone Scuba in equipment, training, or charter fees, they also earn one free offshore trip. Qualified divers performing as the boat's divemaster, dive for free and also receive passenger tips.
