Description and details
Diving on the Shore Thing in Australia
Shore Thing – exclusive purpose-built catamaran
Traveling on large liveaboards, you may have numerous facilities to avail but the passionate diver always focusses on something else. The small boats offer a much better intimate cruise with personalized services. Diving with a small group or a chance to book as a charter under your budget range, or if you are a solo traveler you may arrive as a stranger and depart with a bunch of friends. You can have much better and flexible dive schedules and you don’t have to wait for your turn for land excursions and enjoy each and everything on the boat with complete equality and togetherness. Enjoy the cruise from island to island and explore the beauty of the Australian Sea while diving or view the natural landscapes of the surrounding islands.
Boat Interior – spectacular design and comfortable features
The splendid catamaran Shore Thing is beautifully designed inside out. The cabins and deck areas are well-furnished and spacious to facilitate 10 guests with the utmost amenities. There are 4 staterooms from which 2 king beds cabins are deluxe with private facilities and the remaining 2 standard cabins offer shared facilities. Cabins can be configured as double or triple share with extra bunk beds if required. On the upper deck, there is an elevated flybridge, which offers around 360 degrees view of the natural landscape of the Ningaloo Reef National Park and offers pleasant seating to enjoy and relax when not engaged in diving.
Deck Area
The owner-operated catamaran offers a unique and unforgettable experience. The spacious dive deck has enough space for the diver to prepare before dive. There are tanks lined-up for divers, camera stations, freshwater shower and rinsing tank to maintain and wash the equipment after dive. The impressive sundeck is the best spot on the boat to spend your lazy noon when you want to relax and enjoy the view at the same time. The hammocks on the shaded area will let you chill and in the fresh sea breeze with a book or drink in hand.
Food and Entertainment
The cruise director plans day-to-day activities to engage the divers of Shore Thing. You can enjoy all types of driving under the supervision of a dive guide. Apart from diving, you can spend your leisure time enjoying the cozy indoor salon, which has an assortment of in-house entertainment and attractive seating. Food served on board is prepared freshly by the chef onboard. Western and local cuisines in breakfast along with desserts are presented in a buffet.
