Yacht Scuba Safety completes dive operations programs for MY Roma & MY Vava
Yacht Scuba Safety (YSS) have announced the successful completion of 61m MY Roma’s scuba diving operations program which included the installation and set-up of a PADI Superyacht Centre.
MY Roma travels the Mediterranean. It’s available for charter and is fully capable of teaching dive courses and supervising recreational diving activities with the highest standards of safety. The on-board dive team within the crew of 16 consists of 1 instructor, 2 Divemasters and 3 Rescue Divers, all trained under the guidance of Ondine’s Yacht Scuba Safety program.
Janusz Walinski, Captain of MY Roma, offers the following Testimonial:
“I can recommend Scuba Yacht Safety highly to any Yacht who wants to organize and improve their diving operations. What you learn with Brad Robertson will be exactly what you need to provide your guests with a tailor-made diving service that’s equal to your overall Superyacht standard.”
Previously, YSS have developed the dive operations program and manual of operations for MY Vava. Captain Glen McDonnell comments:
“Ondine Escape & Yacht Scuba Safety were engaged by M.Y. Vava to formulate a safe diving program for our operations on board Vava which has proven to be a very significant addition to our Safe Operations when engaging in diving activities. Brad and Nick brought to my attention that they could formulate a specific customised safe operations manual for Vava under the title of the Yacht Scuba Safety program. Given that we have had limited diving activity in recent years but carry a full complement of dive gear I agreed to their proposal and am more than satisfied with the results. Both Nick and Brad visited Vava on a number of occasions to assess the platform, equipment and the relative experience of our dive team so that they could formulate a Vava-specific manual of operations plus identify any areas that needed to be addressed to ensure our visit to the Chagos and Indian Ocean would be completed with maximum awareness and safety. The result was a comprehensive manual of operations for the greater range of potential dive experiences we would encounter which was tailored for the limitations of the equipment we have on board plus the relative experience of the divers.”

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
