The Akyla carries just 6 divers per trip and is often fully booked by one group of divers. However, there is often space available for individuals or a buddy team, especially during mid-week. We will sail with as few as four walk on divers if no group has chartered the boat. Cost. The costs to Charter the boat for a full single day is $800 for up to six divers. Individual divers (Walk On spots) for the 2008 season are $135.00 (US$) per diver per day of diving (Cash or Check is accepted). Multiple day trips and Full week charters may have different pricing structure, so contact Dive Hatteras for details. The cost includes the boat ride out to the wreck sites and back and does not cover the cost of any rental equipment the diver may need or any gratuity you may wish to provide the boat mate. Extra weights are available on board if needed at no charge. Wreck sites outside our normal operating range (ie; U701, Tamalipas, etc) will be assessed an additional fuel surcharge to cover the additional expense of the extra fuel used. The diving day normally includes a 0800 departure and two dives, usually at different wreck sites, with a return to the dock between 3 to 4 PM. The boat does not provide lunch or sodas without prior arrangements, so plan accordingly. Requirements to Dive. To dive with DiveHatteras all divers are required to read and sign a standard liability waiver and they must possess a SCUBA Certification card from a recognized certification agency. DAN diver's insurance is strongly recommended. Divers and Dive Skills. Mid-Atlantic wreck diving is considered advanced sport diving. When you dive from the boat, it is your responsibility to accurately assess your dive ability. We do not normally offer the services of a Dive Master nor do we accompany divers underwater. It is the responsibility for all divers to monitor their own air supply, times and depth. If we see any behavior that we consider dangerous to themselves or other divers, we reserve the right to restrict the diver from further diving. A dive briefing will be conducted that details how divers are expected to prepare for the diving, ingress and egress from the water, location of safety/rescue equipment, and any other details necessary for that specific day of diving. It is the diver’s responsibility to listen to and understand the dive briefing. View this page for procedures on the diving. If you have any questions, please email or give us a call at 703.818.1850 or 703.517.3724 (cell). |
