Deepbluetech

36 year Old Richard has been involved with deep wreck and cave diving since the early 90’s when he first heard about the use of Trimix through the media such as Aquacorps. Enjoying the use of Trimix on deep wrecks lead him into the World of Cave Diving and with a passion for both Rich embarked upon becoming an Instructor to be able to train divers in the use of mixed gas diving and it’s associated disciplines. Rich gained his qualifications after years of exploratory diving and relies on this experience when running Technical level courses.

 Seeker

Seeker is a Lochin 38' workboat. Being heavy built, she is one of the most sea worthy crafts of her size. This, coupled with her twin 250hp Ivecos makes her a fast and comfortable platform for adventurous diving. Seeker can cruise at 15 knots fully laden, has plenty of deck space and excellent kitting up benches. A rear tail-lift means that there are no ladders to climb; this makes diver deployment and recovery an effortless experience.

Kara-C is a 7 metre inboard diesel R.I.B. She is licenced for 10 passengers, and will deliver them to their chosen dive sites in speed and comfort. Kara-C is a commercially built vessel and is therefore fitted out to a high specification.
