Built from ironwood and teak, the vessel accommodates just 18 guests in nine ocean-view, air-conditioned cabins, with plenty of space to ensure the liveaboard retains a more relaxed setting for longer dive itineraries. Diving is supported by two tenders, and Cachalo offers nitrox, rental equipment and onboard camera facilities, plus itineraries and seasonal crossings that give guests the chance to explore spectacular coral reefs, manta sites, current-swept pinnacles, macro habitats and more.
