Charlie Factsheet
When you think about diving in Indonesia these days many divers are starting to instantly think of the aesthetically pleasing, luxurious Phinisi styled diving vessels. Expectations for dive boats in Indonesia at the moment maybe getting higher and higher. If so, oops… looks like we’ve just gone crazy… Though hold on a moment... after spending the last 6 months on a boat that had plenty of luxury but other serious issues that made operations drive us nutty, we've decided that the we are going to offer some slightly different diving trips with more emphasis on the diving quality and ease of diving rather than aesthetics & luxury.
With Diving 4 Images one very important factor is quality of diving, this is not always that easy to offer this with 16-20 divers on a boat - for sure it's possible but lots of bubbles. We can now offer 6 lucky divers availability to dive with us in Komodo and possibly Flores-Alor in the coming future...
Diving 4 Images will be arranging a few special diving trips onboard Charlie. These trips are mainly for those mad keen divers, marine life enthusiasts, small groups of divers, families, photographers, film makers & scientists. We will be operating this vessel to divers whose main concern is the quality & freedom of diving rather than aesthetics & luxury.
Think about this -- there will only ever be a maximum of 6 divers on any trip!
