Overview
Aqua One is a 35-meter luxury liveaboard that accommodates sixteen divers. She has been specifically designed for tropical living with air-conditioned and open-air lounges and a sun deck for guests to enjoy the fresh air of the tropical seas. A great deal of attention to details went into the design and construction of the staterooms and living areas to ensure that those on board enjoy a fine style of living. Aqua One`s twin, 1250 HP Cummins engines effortlessly provides for flexible and extensive charter itineraries, allowing divers to fully experience some of Asia`s finest diving in comfort and safety.
Accommodation
Aqua One has accommodation for 16 passengers in 8 staterooms. Two double and two twin cabins on the main deck, 2 twin cabins on the forward lower deck and 2 more twin cabins on the aft lower deck, all with private head and shower. All rooms are fitted with standard queen or twin sized beds, carpeted and tastefully furnished. Facilities include piped-in music, reading lights, wardrobe, hair-dryer and plenty of storage space.
Amenities
The main lounge which situates on the main deck is fully air-conditioned and is fitted with large panoramic windows. The lounge serves as the vessel living room, theater and dining- room. A complete "home entertainment" center is also available with the latest movies.

The upper deck houses the wheelhouse and a second air-conditioned lounge that serves as a photography station and a library. The covered open-air area occasionally functions as an alfresco dinning room with barbecue facilities. The forward open-air sitting area serves as a sun-bathing platform and is the perfect place to watch the sun goes down into the ocean blue.
Dining
Thailand has long been internationally renowned for its wide variety of fresh and delicious food dishes. Aqua One utilizes these culinary assets to the full to provide its clients with an extensive range of tasty and healthy meals necessary to meet an active diver`s need.

In addition to three full meals each day that features either a buffet or a set dinner, snacks and refreshments are available throughout the day. Their chefs serve up a wide variety of international dishes, with a bias towards Thai, oriental and seafood delicacies. Upon prior request, we can also cater for any special dietary requirements. Freshly brewed coffee, tea and softdrinks are available free of charge 24 hours a day.
Diving
The Dive-deck on M/Y Aqua One is thoughtfully laid out to provide spacious dressing and individual storage areas. The twin staircases that lead down to the diving platform are easy to negotiate and make your dive entry an ease.

Diving activities on board Aqua One are supported by two electric Bauers air-compressors, 4500-psi air bank storage system and hyperfiltration system producing grade "D" breathing air with 4 fill hoses and two 4.70 meters R.I.Bs with 40 H.P outboards. Nitrox, through a DNAx system (32% 02Mix), is available as an option to qualified divers. At the end of each dive, divers are treated with hot towels. Four fresh water showers and a head are conveniently located on the dive deck and dive platform.

Apart from a full day of diving there are many after dive activities for both divers and non-divers to enjoy ranging from exploring uninhabited islands, sea kayaking to just making the most of a restful afternoon on a quiet beach. Though catering for the serious divers, the Aqua One can also provide a wonderful holiday for the whole family.

Automatic E-6 slide processing equipment is available on board along with a slide projector, screen and slide-viewers to show off the end result. Charging station with both 220v and 110v outlets is located within the photography lounge.

Lynn C. and Robert M., New York, NY
You guys did a great job and are very dependable in recognizing good dive operations as opposed to the "marginal" ones. The Aqua One did a great job, their dive master was excellent, and staff very attentive. Food was excellent, I think we like the buffet style better. We had a Canadian wildlife photographer on our trip, who provided an added dimension. I definitely recommend this operation to other clients of yours who are considering diving in Thailand. Just looking at some of the other dive boats we saw there, I think the Aqua One is more of a first class operation, especially for picky Americans.
