Arriving at the Site
​
During the approach to the site, our crew will conduct a safety & operations briefing to include:
​
- Equipment use
- Emergency procedures
- Estimated bottom time
- Surfacing time
​
Each diver will be issued a Marine Rescue GPS unit. Learn more.
Once we arrive at the site, our divemaster will dive on the site and secure the safety line to the wreck below. The divemaster will return to the Explorer to brief divers on the following:
​
- Features of the site
- Things to watch out for
- Location of dive line

Surfacing & Required Intervals
​
After your dive is complete, rendezvous with the group and begin your ascent with your dive buddy.
One of the great amenities of the Explorer is our diver lift. This lift has a capacity of 750 lbs and can raise divers from the water to the deck. No ladder climbing required!
​
During your surface interval, we will cruise to the next dive site on the itinerary.
​
Surface interval time begins when the last diver in the group has made it to the deck.
These intervals are a great time to talk with your fellow divers about your experience! Share photos and videos with the group by casting to our onboard TV, snap new photos on the boat, and enjoy a bit of relaxation!
​You’re welcome to relax in the cabin…but if you do, you must be out of your wetsuit and completely dry.
Snacks & Meals​
​
You're welcome to enjoy the provided snacks and non-alcoholic drinks at any time during our voyage.
We'll be serving a delicious pizza lunch (fresh-baked in our onboard pizza oven) after the second dive of the day.
​
After lunch, enjoy a leisurely cruise to the final dive site of the day.
​
Returning to the Marina
​
As we get close to the marina, we ask that you gather your equipment and gear in preparation for disembarking.
It is the diver's individual responsibility to promptly remove his or her dive gear and equipment from the boat upon arrival at the dock.
We think you'll be eager to dive with us again, so we've made it easy for you to scratch the itch! Before leaving the marina, you can book your next dive adventure right from your mobile device at NauticalDivers.com.
