APOLLO is the name of our custom dive boat which safely transports divers to Auckland's Outer Hauraki Gulf islands. She was designed and built in Western Australia, her hull was designed to withstand the rugged ocean conditions of Western Australia's Indian Ocean so she treats Auckland's Hauraki' Gulf conditions as a walk in the park.
Apollo has just had a refit and now is driven by 2 x 300 hp Suzuki outboards. Her total length is 13.2m with a beam of 4m. Cruise speed is 22 knots, allowing for more dive and or fishing relax time in your day. She boasts 2 levels, the lower wet deck and the upper sun deck. The lower wet deck is set up with 18 spacious diver stations with extra overhead storage for drybags. The wet deck layout ensures easy diver entry and exit on our purpose built diver lift, a push of the button does it all for you (see pics below).
