Dive boat charter from
St.Mary's in the UK's equivalent of the Red Sea
Although weather and
tide dependant there is a massive choice of dive sites for you to
visit. Ranging from massive steamships, gullies full of gigantic
cannon, reefs pulsing with micro-marine life (bring your powerful
torches) remains of recent wreck engulfed in fauna, and ever inquisitive
playful seals.

The Isles
of Scilly are located
28 miles off Lands Ends, Cornwall the most south westerly point
of England and because of the geographical location of the islands
and the nearby gulf-stream the surrounding sea water is extremely
rich in marine nutrients. The islands are known for there crystal
clear underwater visibility which provides an outstanding memorable
experience for divers.
The outer reef walls
emerge from incredible depths creating the most fascinating underwater
landscapes, stunning gigantic underwater rock formations and reef
walls of thriving marine life covered in colourful fauna, rare
Sponges, Cup corals and reefs with Football sea squirts and protected
Sea fans. Marine biologists and enthusiastic underwater photographers
visit these isolated tranquil islands several times a year to
look for and record more rare species.
These beautiful Islands
have got to be one of the best places to dive around the British
Isles. If your 'e considering a diving holiday UK style then I
thoroughly recommend putting Scillies on your must do dive list
for the best scuba diving experience you can have.
The Islands are also
well known for there numerous treasure shipwrecks, protected historic
ship wrecks, steamships and modern shipwrecks that in times gone-by
have struck the rugged rocks of the islands with devastating consequences.
The Islands
The Islands consist of 150 islands, rocks
and outcrops with only five inhabited islands, all popular holiday
destinations and each with their own special character. St Mary's
having the largest population is supported by numerous pubs, restaurants,
shops, hotels, B&B's and a large campsite.
`St.Agne's`

Set
in idyllic surroundings, there is so much to see and do once the
diving is over. Additional
trips to the off islands can be arranged for barbeques, for food
and to sample the various pubs and tea houses, picturesque evening
strolls or even a relaxing wreck fishing trip.

Right:
The island of Tresco well
known
for its Abbey Gardens These
sub tropical gardens attract
visitors to the from all over
the
world eager to see
the rare and
beautiful vast
array of plants
from
over 80 countries.
Are you looking a boat
trip with a difference? Then why not try an Island Explorer group
boat trip. Have you ever wanted to get a glimpse of one of the islands
famous grey seals in their natural environment?
Join Dave your skipper,
guide and well known local diver and marine wild life photographer
for an exciting trip of exploration aboard Tiburon. Each cruise
begins with a friendly introduction and safety briefing, before
leaving St.Mary's harbour.
The chosen route will
depend on the sea conditions of the day. Wherever you go your skipper
will choose the most gorgeous, scenic, photographic locations and
route available, along the way he will point out things of interest
and even tell you the names of his favourite grey seals.
A private family treat
or special occasion can be arranged with a tour around the islands
stopping off for lunch, tea or even a swim with seals, have the
boat to yourselves (with skipper) and go where you would like.
This can incorporate
a trip to the Bishop Rock Light House and then landing on St.Agnes
for collection later if you desire. A trip out to indulge yourselves
watching the seals, bring your wetsuits and swim in a sheltered
secluded spot the possibilities are endless.
Tiburon is a 35' fast offshore survey diving boat, MCA coded and
insured to carry 12 passengers and 2 crew, large deck area, seating
inside and out, hot drinks facility, toilet and swim ladder.
