Description
Solitude Liveaboards redefine quality service and professionalism in diving hospitality. Recently refurbished, flagship MV Solitude One incorporates the latest on‐board technologies for safety and diving, whilst on board crew pamper to your senses and indulgence.
Rebuilt from a 52-metre (171ft) steel-hulled merchant vessel, MV Solitude One is almost a complete makeover from her original form. With our clients in mind, the vessel was purpose-built to incorporate smart design, functionality and comforts close to home.
Solitude Liveaboard’s definition of luxury begins with its design, creating purposeful and functional spaces for rest and play. Her dive deck and boat deck space can also be easily modified to reconfigure for major exploration expeditions, while still providing the exploration team members the luxury of modern home comforts. Every guest on board will be cared for by well‐trained staff who address guests by name, anticipate individual needs, and appear only when needed, allowing them the privacy of “a home away from home”.
Dive center
Paying much attention to detail, the dive deck was conceptualized by divers with a combined experience of over 100 years. With space enough to accommodate 30 divers, tank racks, storage boxes, camera basins and equipment storage were all fit in with practical, smart designs.
Safety is paramount in Solitude"s operations. Besides equipping our vessel to be compliant with GMDSS with Automatic Identification System (AIS), our crew are constantly trained to meet the international marine insurers surveyors standards to execute all the required emergency and non emergency procedures. Our Diving Skiffs are also equipped with First Aid Kits and Medical Oxygen (when used for SCUBA activities). In addition, we carry additional supplies of both on board Solitude One. Our Skiffs are also high powered which are capable of hitting high speeds if the need arises to quickly evacuate to the nearest medical and/or hyperbaric chamber if we are close to one instead of waiting for evacuation assistance (air or sea).
