Yacht Te Belizian Interest

Seacraft Shipyard Corp. of Amelia, La., has delivered M/V Belize Aggressor III, a 115-ft. (35 m), all aluminum live-aboard dive yacht, to its owners in Belize City,

Belize. The new vessel will replace Belize

Aggressor II, also built by Seacraft. Belize

Aggressor III reportedly represents a new generation of live-aboard dive yachts, built to transport and support recreational scuba divers. Designed in-house by

Seacraft, the vessel is reportedly certified for ocean service, built to USCG, ABS and

SOLAS standards. Located on the main deck is the dining room which doubles as a classroom complete with its own entertain- ment center. Located in the hull is the engine room and the machinery room and eight-guest stateroom. On the dive plat- form are two dive ladders, two freshwater showers and a cradle for the rigid hull dinghy. Mounted in the hull are underwa- ter dive location illumination lights.

Propulsion is supplied by a pair of GM 12V71TI engines equipped with TD 514B 2.5:1 gearboxes driving 3.5-in. stainless steel shafts. The vessel has a cruising speed of 12 knots and a range of 1,500 nautical miles. Auxiliary power comes from two vibration isolated GM 3-71 40kW generator sets. All engines are equipped with "hospital zone" class exhaust silencers. Fresh water is supplied by a 1,600 gallon per day water maker.

Compressed air for diving is supplied by two 5,000 psi air compressors. The air conditioning is provided by a 15-ton chilled water system with individual con- trols in each compartment.
