Both Boats busy in Portland over the weekend

We picked up Renegade from refit in the Hamble and basically came down the river and turned right. About 1 hour 45 minutes later we were in Portland - straight out of refit and straight into use. There were loads of things going on over the weekend and around 25 club members and students going diving so we needed 2 boats and even had to hire in a skipper to drive one of them. Many congratulations to everyone who finished courses with us, (be it the Deep Course, Open Water, SMB or PPB) at the weekend and for all the guys who were experience diving we hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as we did and look forward to seeing you next time.

So, Renegade is now up and running and is the fastest and biggest rib operating in the Solent for dive charters. She has two bottle racks a ladder so you can get out easily and even some seats so not everyone has to sit on the tubes. She has space for around 20 cylinders with ease and with a full compliment of divers and equipment cruises comfortably at 30 knots. With dive prices starting at £20 it is a pretty cost effective way of going diving as well.

She will hopefully be out this weekend with 4 wreck dives planned for the Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting. If you want to come and try her out give us a call.
