Food
The menu on both yachts is varied and plentiful, with a variety of American feasts, barbecues and local cuisine. If you have any special dietary requirements, please advise the US office as soon as possible so the yacht can adequately prepare to meet your needs. You will wake up to fresh fruits, hot entrees, cereals and juices. Lunches are buffet-style, featuring hot soups, homemade breads, salads and sandwiches and/or entrees. Dinners are chef prepared and served each evening and include salads, vegetables, seafood, beef or chicken with a fresh homemade dessert. Once you have arrived, please speak to the chef about any special needs. Certain special dietary and beverage requests may not be available due to the remote nature of this location.

The liveaboard has a selection includes fruit juices, soft drinks, iced water, iced tea, coffee, and a limited selection of local beer and wine, all of which are free of charge. Due to the high duty charged on liquor in Costa Rica, we suggest you bring your special brand from the U.S/International. Due to local regulations; the bar will be closed while the boat is in port. Drinking and diving do not mix. Once you consume alcohol, you become a snorkeler until the next day.

The crew, with their unique combination of talents, offers the ultimate service. While on board you may pick a buddy of your choice or dive with a crew member. There is ample storage space for your diving equipment in your personal locker. The yachts provide 80 cubic ft. tanks, weight belts and weights. All tanks have K-valves (American type), no DIN (European) valves. There are a limited number of 100 cu ft/13-liter tanks available. With advanced notice, these can be rented from another liveaboard. The cost is $90 and must be rented in advance due to availability.

Diving amenities include Nitrox (unlimited Nitrox is $150 for 10 night charters).
The panga (tender boat) is 22 feet in length. There is plenty of space for camera equipment and the  driver/deck hand will handle everything with care. Getting in and out of the water from the panga is also extremely easy. Once you've finished diving and you’re ready to get back into the panga, a crew member will assist you by taking your tank. We have a dive guide on the panga for every dive.
