It took over a year to custom build to our specifications but it was finally launched in May 2008. The hull is a Malta made ‘Chaudron 28′.  All the interior was then constructed entirely in GRP (fibreglass) by Muscat boat builders in Gozo. Divemania was constructed according to very stringint MMA (Malta Maritime Authority) specifications and the work was constantly supervised by surveyor Mr. Paul Cardona. It was built as a fast functional dive boat but also as a boat that can be chartered for cruises by groups and families. Throughout 2008 Divemania was often used also for pleasure trips between the Valletta Grand Harbour and Gozo and also for full day, half day or sun set trips around Comino.
