Bord à Bord designs aluminum diving boats dedicated to professionals and training centers
A dive support boat is an indispensable tool for safely transporting divers to dive sites. It is crucial that this boat has the appropriate features to meet the specific needs of a group of ten to thirty people.
Our goal is to ensure a comfortable and safe diving experience . The hulls are optimized to provide excellent stability, even in rough seas. Handrails are installed wherever divers might need to hold on. The diving ladders are extra long and slightly angled, allowing for easy boarding regardless of the diver's size. Guardrails surround the engines, preventing any falls onto them. Various types of covers are available: removable PVC tarpaulin, aluminum sheeting, or a very attractive, durable, and lightweight honeycomb aluminum composite.
Various options are available, such as davits, toilets, removable benches, folding cylinder holders, oxygen cylinder supports, a wheelhouse, or an open helm console. It is also possible to personalize the dive boats with attractive wraps in the colors of the association, school, or other organization.
