From the people that gave you M/V Fantasea, here is Ocean Rover,
Thailand’s only purpose
built luxury live-aboard dive vessel. A new boat operated
by the most experienced team in the business. Ocean Rover was
built in Phuket by Fantasea Divers and launched in August
2000. She commenced operations in December 2000 and our passengers
confirm she is everything we hoped she would be.
Ocean Rover was purpose designed for comfortable and safe offshore
diving. Her thick steel hull is 100ft/30m long
and 26ft/8m wide. She is powered by three Hino V10 420Hp
diesel engines, driving three propellers for extra safety. Her cruising
speed is 10 knots and the top speed allowing us to visit many
far-flung divesites in one single cruise.
Ocean Rover takes a maximum
of sixteen passengers in eight cabins which
are all located on the main and upper decks. Six cabins are identical
and have large double
beds with single upper berths and large panoramic
windows. The two forward cabins on the main deck feature wide
upper and lower single berths and have dual portholes.
All cabins have private bathrooms, individually
controlled air-conditioning and lots of storage space.
All beds are 2 meters (6ft 5in) in length so the tallest
of passengers can sleep comfortably.

whale-deck during diving operations |
|
Ocean Rover’s unique feature is the "whale-deck", the lower
section of the dive-deck which slopes down to the waterline allowing
for optimum ease of diving operations.
This whale-deck is where the dinghies are stored when the vessel
is underway.
 |
| The
huge upper-deck |
|
The huge dive-deck has several camera tables and multiple rinse
tanks plus a camera maintenance room. Care has been taken to ensure
that photographers have safe places to put down their expensive cameras
just before and after dives.
The spacious salon offers a comfortable dining and sitting arrangement,
a fully equipped entertainment center and a camera charging area with 220/110
volts connections. The interior has been kept light and airy
and has a relaxed atmosphere. The salon has a refreshments corner
and our extensive marine life library is kept here as well.
The aft upper deck -or sun deck- is
shaded and is everyone's favourite area for relaxing and socializing
between dives. A second refreshments corner is located here and passengers can
sit around the large picnic style table or settle down on one
of the comfortable lounge chairs.
Ocean Rover’s sixteen passengers
are looked after by twelve crew members. Most have been
with us for many years and all have previously worked on
other dive boats in Sulawesi so are very experienced in local conditions.
They are rightfully proud of the boat and excellent reputation
it has.
