MV BAVARIA

BY DIVERS FOR DIVERS

The MV Bavaria is a steel vessel 28 m long and 6.5 m wide. Designed and planned by Markus Egginger, the owner of Loma Diving Adventure. Based on his 15 years of experience, the ship was designed by him for divers. It has all the amenities that a safari boat should have.

The MV Bavaria was built in Thailand in 2016 according to the latest offshore and safety standards. All guests are accommodated in comfortable cabins with air conditioning.

The ship has 2 standard cabins on the upper deck with double bunk beds, 6 comfort twin cabins with private bathroom/WC on the main deck, 2 comfort cabins with double bed and private bathroom/WC on the lower deck (these are also available as single rooms at a reasonable price) and 2 deluxe cabins with large double bed and private bathroom/WC on the main deck.
