Carpe Vita

The staterooms are located on three of the vessel’s four decks:

Topmost deck: Sun deck, offering both shaded and full-sun areas for relaxation as well as a hot tub.

Upper deck: Dining area, the bar, staterooms 1 & 2, a small lounge area and the bridge.

Main deck: Air-conditioned dining and lounge area, TV viewing area with DVD/CD music system, forward outdoor seating area, common restroom, staterooms 3 & 4, galley, camera charging station and a large camera table. There are two sets of stairs accessing the swim platform where two in-water ladders hang for easy access to and from the water for a refreshing swim when the vessel is at anchor.

Lower deck: Staterooms 5-10, accessed via stairs from the main deck.

The Carpe Vita is also equipped with a telephone for incoming and outgoing calls worldwide (additional charges apply). Cellular phone access is available when in proximity to some of the islands if your phone is so equipped. WiFi is available for $15USD per person for a week long sailing. The vessel’s location does determine reliability of access to the internet. HD media players along with a small selection of movies and music are available for guest use in each stateroom.

The vessel’s itineraries are designed to take advantage of the changing conditions and to take divers to the best diving areas for the different seasons. Depending on the time of year and weather, currents can be from moderate to very strong and itineraries often include channel diving. The visibility is usually at its peak in December and January — sometimes well over 100 feet (30 meters)!

Mantas can be seen throughout the year with the best feeding-station encounters typically during the May to November timeframe. Whale sharks are also seen most every month of the year, with the highest concentration seen in the monsoon transition months of April, May, October and November. The water temperatures remain a toasty 80-85º F (27-29˚C) throughout the year. Most divers are comfortable with a 3mm wetsuit.
