The 'Biba Bon' has arrived!

Since 1989, Red Sail Sports has been Aruba's premier diving and watersports professionals. Located at Aruba's finest resorts, Red Sail Sports boasts a fleet of four luxury catamarans and two custom-built dive boats. Managing Director, Peter de Hoop announced, "To mark the milestone of our 15th anniversary, we wanted to better serve our growing base of new and returning customers. The best way to accomplish that was to purchase a new dive boat that would expand our capabilities by 50%."

Aptly named the 'Biba Bon' meaning to "live well" in Papiamento, the boat is a sister to their other Pro 48 dive boat, the 'Pasa Bon' meaning "to have a good time." The Pro 48 is the industry's preeminent dive boat. Known for its expansive and open cockpit, quality craftsmanship, incredible maneuverability and running characteristics, the Pro 48 elevates diving to a whole new level. Measuring 48 feet in length, and featuring a 16 foot beam, the Biba Bon boasts an open deck space to comfortably accommodate 30 divers. "Since Red Sail Sports limits its dive trips to 24," adds de Hoop, "this can provide divers with even more room." The bow offers a comfortable area for sightseeing and sun bathing. Twin drop down ladders, marine head and a fresh water rinse shower are all standard features of this luxurious dive boat. In addition, cold beverages, fresh fruit, tanks, weights and belts are provided on all dives.

Aruba boasts some of the best shipwreck diving in all of the Caribbean. Interesting coral formations are found from shallow water to depths of 80 to 100 feet with an abundance of exotic marine life. Red Sail Sports offers both afternoon and morning dives as well as night dives a few times a week. In addition, full PADI certifications are available as well as PADI Introductory Scuba Courses.

Sun Dancer II, Belize
Belize is a wall diver's paradise. Sheer walls like Painted Wall, Half Moon Caye Wall and Quebrada are adorned with huge crimson gorgonians and giant orange elephant ear sponges. Moray eels, spiny lobsters and tiny arrow crabs hide in every crack, crevice, cave and tunnels of these beautiful coral formations. These are just a few things you will see at Lighthouse Reef, Half Moon Caye and Turneffe Reef. And the Sun Dancer II is the perfect boat to get you to some of the best diving in the western Caribbean.

It pays to be the early bird. Awakened by dawn reaching through the porthole, I peek out blearily at Jackson Bight, a bay of plenty on the north side of Little Cayman. Another day of diving from the Cayman Aggressor IV! As the only live-aboard servicing the rich waters of the Cayman Islands, the 110-foot vessel splits time among the hundreds of world-class dives around Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. Completely tricked out to serve divers, the ship offers nine comfortable staterooms with private showers, an easy-to-navigate dive dick with large camera table and an air-conditioned lounge for escaping the elements.
