The Tonga Tango is an 8.5-meter (28 ft) RIB designed with diving in mind. For more personalized diving trips she is designed to take a maximum of ten divers or twelve "Whalesmimmers". Twin 175hp Mercury 4-stroke Verado engines power the boat for a fast, clean, and quiet ride. Designed to comfortably cruise fully laden at 30kts, getting there becomes half the fun. For the photo and video buffs among us, Tonga Tango has a specialized camera table with fresh water rinse to take care of your expensive gear. We chose a RIB not only for the comfort and room they offer but also for the ease of access into the water, simply back roll off the side while diving or slide off with your camera when snorkeling with the whales. Our custom one of a kind dive ladder has also solved the old problem of getting out of the water and back into a RIB, life has never been so easy. With Safety in mind the boat has been built to exceed USCG and New Zealand requirements. We also carry a VHF radio, medical kit, and O2 onboard.
