SUBMERSIBLE DIVING IN THE MEDITERRANEAN

Destinations such as Malta and Italy have long been popular for yacht charters, but the new way to explore is with a submersible onboard. Steered by Cookson pilots, these 2-to-7 seater vessels give the freedom to search the waters for shipwrecks carpeted in crustaceans and historic sites that have only recently been discovered. A submersible is the perfect viewing platform to spot life beneath the waves and to truly appreciate the beautiful marine life our oceans offer.
