Ocean Rover

Ocean Rover was purpose designed for comfortable and safe offshore diving. Her thick steel hull is 100 ft/30 m long and 26 ft/8 m wide. She is powered by three Hino V10 420 Hp diesel engines, driving three propellers for extra safety. Her cruising speed is 10 knots and the top speed 12.5, allowing us to visit many far-flung dive sites 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. There are NO guest cabins below decks so there are NO loud annoying engine room noises! Six cabins feature large double beds with single upper berths and large panoramic windows. The two forward cabins feature wide upper and lower berths and have dual portholes. All cabins have private en-suite bathrooms, individually controlled AC and lots of storage space.


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 zodiacs are stored when the vessel is underway.

The huge dive-deck has several camera tables and rinse tanks. Care has been taken to ensure that photographers have safe places to put down their expensive cameras just before and after the dive.


The spacious salon offers a comfortable dining and sitting arrangement, fully equipped entertainment center and a camera charging area with 220/110 V connections. The interior has been kept light and airy and has a relaxed atmosphere. The salon has a fully stocked refreshments corner and our extensive marine life library. Also, a camera maintenance room is kept there as well.

The aft upper deck or sun-deck is partly shaded and is everyone's favorite area for relaxing and socializing between dives. A second fully stocked refreshments corner is located there, including an icemaker and a second refrigerator. Passengers can sit around the large picnic style table or settle down on one of our comfortable lounge chairs.

Ocean Rover's areas of operation are North Sulawesi, the Sangihe Archipelago and Raja Ampat in the East of Indonesia.
