diving boats

Boats that submerge

Diving boats are watercraft designed or equipped for scuba diving or snorkeling operations.

They typically feature dive platforms, ladders for easy water entry and exit, tank storage, and space for gear.

The term covers everything from small inflatables to larger charter vessels: We hired a diving boat to reach the outer reef.
