Ship's complement

This page is basically a list of the facilities available aboard the boat that should make it easier to plan your week if you have not been before.

Galley

• An oil fired Rayburn heats the hot water and radiators though out the boat, besides it's more obvious role as a cooker!
• All cooking equipment is provided, plates, cutlery, pots and pans etc if you wish to self-cater.
• There is both a fridge and a freezer for keeping food.
• Tea and coffee are provided.
• There is seating for the full group around a central table.

Cabins

• There are six twin berth cabins either side of a heated, central corridor.
• All the bunks are long enough for me, and I am 6ft 2in!
• All bedding is provided, including sheets, pillows and duvets.

Showers

• There are two combined shower/toilets rooms on the boat, one below deck for midnight pees and one on deck for last minute pre-dive emergencies.

Power

• The boat has an onboard silenced 7KVA generator providing 240v constantly.
• Sockets are provided throughout the boat for recharging phones/torches etc

Air fills

• The boat has an onboard compressor allowing bottles to be filled through out the day.
• Oxygen is also available allowing NITROX fills (air is inclusive, oxygen extra).
• Helium and Argon are available on request/advance warning: I do not keep these gases in stock.

Cylinders

The Halton has the following cylinders for use by divers not wanting to bring their own bottles:
• 3 x 12 litre dumpy cylinders
• 10 x 12 litre cylinders
• 3 x 15 litre cylinders
• Feel free to bring your own cylinders if you prefer: the Halton whips will fit most valves, whether DIN, A-clamp, 300bar etc.

Lead weights in 6lb (3kg) and 4lb (2kg) are also provided, but bring your own belt to mount them on.
