A cool way to dive if you can afford it.
Here are a few pics on some dive boats we charted on my last film job in AUS.
The best part is I got paid to go diving on them too...

Dive boat one.

Nice Wags...

but still think Paul Allen's got one of the nicest dive boats...

and I think he's got a submersible hiding in there somewhere...

Nice one Peter, did they supply lunch on that charter

Pakman that is the Octopus, Ive been on it and yes there is a empty sub on it plus lots more.
They use a 60 foot 1000 hp twin jet boat as their run about.

I believe this will soon be available.

Friend of a friend is the 1st mate on the Octopus; you can see the sub in the background:



Don't be fooled by the pic into thinking the sub is a little toy; it sleeps 8 & can remain submerged for 14 days.

PS Maneuvering your yacht can be a challenge on occasions:

lol, I don't think my annual salary would even cover the fuel bill on that beast!

Dean(Lets Dive !!!)B

Hate to upset you Dean - but it looks like someone has beaten you and converted it already.....

You mean someone stole his hood??

Hey Pete,
I can make it to Cairns if you need to 'drag' someone along to carry your bags and swim in front of you as a shark deterrent... I'm not sure about the quality of the boats that you frequent, but for a mate, I'm sure that I can lower my standards just this once...

Humbly yours,
Bruce...

Peter are you showing off again

You know where I am if you need a hand

No worries.

Here's a good one I just saw last week:
