10 days London to London [FB (On liveaboard)]

This 34-metre luxury liveaboard offers guests unmatched service and comfort and the best big animal diving on earth!

Outfitted in brass, rich mahogany and granite table tops the Solmar V is a gracious and beautiful boat. A comfortable salon offers a large-screen HDTV, VCR, DVD player and stereo system, whilst each mahogany-detailed stateroom features air-conditioning, private facilities and a TV/DVD player. Dining on board is excellent, with the emphasis on fresh local produce.

The latest communications system enable guests to be online, onboard. Simply ask for a Solmar V Sea Wave account to be set up for you, before you travel. Computer stations are available for the use of guests.

Diving may be from the pangas or from the vessel itself. Access to the water from the boat is very easy, thanks to entry gates on both sides and a custom built double swim step. There is a spacious dive deck with a huge, multilevel camera table complete with charging stations and an air gun, four large rinse bins and two fresh water showers. Nitrox 32/36% is available, as is onboard training for those guests who are not currently certified.

Highlights of the Solmar V's destinations include: the Socorro Islands, in the eastern Pacific Ocean, home to Giant Pacific Manta rays, inquisitive dolphins, seven different shark species and migrating Humpback whales - truly remote, adventure diving at its best. And, during August and September, Solmar follows the ultimate marine predator to Guadalupe Island. Divers and non-divers alike can enjoy the thrill of cage diving with the awesome Great White sharks.
