Typhoon was launched in January 2005. Built by the Tornado Marine Fleet, owners and builders of the award winning boats Hurricane,Cyclone, and Whirlwind. As with her predecessors her unique lines and imposing design means that she immediately stands out on any dive site as THE boat to be on! The first impression given is of space, lots of it. All outer areas are teak laid and the upper sun deck is almost the entire length of the ship, with ample shaded and sunbathing areas alike. She also has the most spacious dive deck and platform. One of the unique interior features is the restaurant. The circular tables and dining chairs give the ambience of a Continental Café, with an attractive spiral staircase leading up to the saloon and bar area, which is situated on the bridge deck. Comfortable seating, plasma screen, DVD and sound system, Juice and hot drink station, and of course well stocked bar make this a popular spot to relax in the evening. Briefings and sundowners both take place on the cocktail deck, accessed from the bar or the staircase from the dive deck. There are two large twin cabins on the main deck and a similar cabin on the bridge deck, with the remaining accommodation below, all with A/C and music. The design of the en-suite bathrooms has been considerably improved by separating the shower area from the other facilities. The latest Iridium Satellite communications system provides facilities for guests to use both telephone and E-mail. Why Typhoon? We have followed the progress of this ship throughout the entire building process. We can say confidently that she sets new standards in liveaboard design. Fast, elegant and very comfortable. Wrecks and Reefs - this itinerary is the best of both worlds ! |
