Dive trip with Argo - 10 nights

Boat

Argo is a very intentional blend of work ship and luxury steel yacht, 39 meters long, 8 meters wide with full global reach, cruising at 10 - 11 knots per hour. It was totally redesigned and refitted in 2008, conceived to serve as the ultimate platform for a deep-diving submersible as well as for remote operating vehicle deployment (R.O.V.).

Argo offers heavy lift capabilities, stability and ample deck space for any chore imaginable. Extended, multi-task cruises are her specialty and of course she is mothership to our remarkable DeepSee submersible.

On the main deck, there is the spacious main salon with comfortable seating a variety of nightly entertainment available onboard, including slide shows, DVDs, games and more. Please feel free to bring along your own favorites. The small refrigerator is constantly replenished. It contains soft drinks, beer and ice for your pleasure. Something to munch on is always within reach.

The menu aboard offers a delicious combination of American and local Costa Rican cuisine. Meals are varied, abundant and well balanced. There is fresh tropical fruit, salads, fish, chicken, beef, and much more. Everything is prepared in a variety of ways by one of our accomplished chefs.

On the upper deck, the bow offers a spacious area for guests to stroll and feel the ocean breezes. And there is another salon on this deck with comfortable seating, a library that provides a relaxed and private ambiance, a TV, VCR, DVD and personal computer where you can view and edit your video and digital photography.

The sun deck area is for your recreation. Please feel free to use it for relaxed outdoor reading, catching some rays or watching the sunsets. Here our chefs put on their sumptuous BBQs. It's even even perfect for dancing under the stars.

Argo's accessories consist of all standard diving gear including scuba, Nitrox, rebreather facilities and zero-speed stabilizers. Three, powerful, 24-foot skiffs serve as tender-boats, which perform submersible tracking duties, shepherding of divers to remote sites, ship-to-shore transfers and any other conceivable recreational or support related activities. All of our skiffs are powered by fumeless 4-cycle, 115 HP twin-outboard motors that can bring you rapidly to any dive site within an extended, safe radius of the mothership. They are further equipped with VHF radios, depth sounders and portable GPS. A T-Roof and rigid bow cover is also mounted on these vessels for your comfort.

The DEEP SEE SUBMERSIBLE onboard is a custom-built one-atmosphere submarine, capable of carrying a pilot and two passengers to a depth of 1,500 feet (450 meters). She is a flexible, capable and masterfully designed vehicle that can agilely operate throughout her range in comfort and safety. The SUBMERSIBLE can perform two dives each day, one in the morning and another scheduled for the afternoon, each dive can take two passengers for this "once in a life time experience".
