A sense of expedition, science and adventure is in the air aboard the Galileo liveaboard. And, that is not only because this ship is often cruising the distant waters of the spectacular Huvadhoo and Laamu Atolls in the Maldives, but also because the standard of equipment aboard the Galileo liveaboard is remarkable. Galileo is equipped with state-of-the-art devices including underwater stabilisers, automatically-inflating rescue rafts, rope-cutters, two turbo-diesel 1,000 horse power engines, three separate rudders, a weather report station and auto-pilot, all of which ensure comfort and safety aboard this Marine-Epoxy vessel. The sophisticated interior design of the Galileo, which features teak floors also assures an adequate level of comfort for scuba divers staying on board this high-tech ship during their scuba diving trip in the Maldives.
