MV Trident - Technical Diving Live-aboard

M.V.Trident was built for the German Navy and used as a Coastguard cutter in the Baltic Sea. She was sold to Thailand and used by Thai Customs before being sold and converted for diving use. She is a stable, comfortable vessel with lots of room to relax in between dives.

Accommodation is in A/C twin bunk cabins, although we have no en-suite facilities there are three shower rooms, so no queues. Charging points are all round the boat, 220V.

For open circuit technical divers we can blend any Trimix blend, Nitrox to 40% and deco bars supply oxygen at 6m and shallower.

For CCR rebreather divers we can supply sorb and oxygen boosted to 200 bar - and a clean dry place to repair your rebreather unit!

MV Trident runs both scheduled technical diving trips and is available for tech diving charters for groups open circuit or technical CCR diving.
