With a length of 39 metres and a beam of 8 metres, there is a considerable amount of space on board, so you can always find a quiet spot during your cruise. Socialising tends to take place in the air conditioned saloon and dining area on the main deck. The saloon features full audio-visual entertainment facilities as well as board games to make the crossings seem to pass quickly. Argo sports a unique custom-painted art décor interior throughout the vessel.
You may even have the chance to experience a once-in-a-lifetime dive up to a depth of 300 metres on the DeepSee Submersible that is housed on MV Argo.
Nitrox is free of charge and used widely by Argo guests who also benefit from the spacious and well-equipped dive deck. Your in-water safety is taken seriously at this remote diving destination on Argo. Every diver is issued with a personal position indicating beacon, clipped to their BCD, to reduce the possibility of a lost diver, and all diving is conducted from superior twin engined fibreglass skiffs, with roofs to shelter you from the Cocos elements.
The extra large cabins are double or twin suites and all are fitted with air-conditioning, TV, VCR player and en-suite hot water bathroom facilities. Unusually, the suites also have satellite phone communication as well as the ability to receive personal E-mail via the boat's server and wifi system. The boat also offers free guest laundry service during the cruise.
Its custom-built stabilising system, mounted on outriggers, makes for peaceful sleeping on this cruise. The MV Argo manages to be a comfortable home from home for serious Cocos Island divers having serious fun!
