Using the experience gained over the years, and the suggestions given to us by dive charter captains the world over, we have designed and built our Newton Dive Specials. We listened and incorporated features such as "Fiberglass Stringers" for added durability and low maintenance, "Rear Water Level Entry" for ease of diver entry and exits, and "Cored Cabin Construction" for weight reduction and good looks.With its 16' beam, over 500 square feet of floor and deck area, seating for over 40 passengers, ample cabin amenities, rear water level entry, camera table and O2 rack options, fresh water wash downs, and custom tank holders, your patrons will keep coming back for more!Diver comfort and safety are of utmost importance in any dive charter operation. Both issues have been properly addressed with our "water level entry"!With our open transom design, custom built EZ-fold aluminum ladders and handrails, your patrons will appreciate the ease of entering and exiting the water from the spacious dive platform. You'll appreciate the time savings at each dive site!All dive charter operators will agree that ease of maintenance is a crucial issue. Having complete accessibility to all critical components of the power-train is essential.Our existing engine room layout is the result of listening to our customers and applying what we learned. This is only a small part of what it takes to produce a real winner. With full access to both engines through our double, gas lift assisted engine hatches, performing regular maintenance is a snap. Complete removal of either engine can be accomplished without removing any parts of the engine hatch assemblies.Our Newton Dive Special can be manufactured to your exact specifications regarding choice of power manufacturer and horsepower ratings!Tank storage and ease of loading and unloading are very important to satisfying your dive charter patrons. Thoughtful planning and careful execution has resulted in our simple, yet effective solution.Our custom made PVC tank racks not only look good, they are fully functional.
