Our new boat ``Tresta``, was purchased in the spring of 2000 and has turned out to be a great dive boat. A stand-up enclosed cabin is just one of the features that make her a comfortable and safe boat.
Charter fee covers transporting you and your equipment to and from the dive sites, and dive boat amenities (shower, drinking water, snacks, iced cooler etc.). Let us know if you want a divemaster/guide, special assistance or rental equipment at time of booking so appropriate arrangements can be made.

If trip is aborted by Captain due to weather, unsafe diving conditions or other reasons prior to first dive, full charter fee will be refunded or applied to another trip at divers option; if after first dive refund will be $45.00. Ninigret Divers, LLC assumes no obligation to provide refunds to divers who miss scheduled sailing times, choose not to dive, or whose equipment is judged by the Captain to be unsafe.

Location description: We are on ``Quonny Pond`` in Charlestown, Rhode Island. Quonny is a salt pond (it has access to the ocean), this means that we have easy access to many dive sites in and around the Watch Hill, Point Judith, and Block Island areas. We visit many wrecks.
Our season begins May 1 and runs through November 1.
We`re available seven days a week and fill charters on a ``first come-first served`` basis.
oDive boat TRESTA may be unavailable for charter due to patrol commitments to US Coast Guard. Full cancellation refund policy will apply.
Charters depart at 8:00 AM and return at approximately 1:00PM for a 2 tank dive trip. Dive locations and sailing times are influenced by the weather, trip objectives, group size and preference. We will attempt to meet any reasonable schedule requests but the final decision rests with the boat Captain.
Dive Sites: Listed here are some of the popular sites we frequent. On any trip we will try to accommodate the choices of those on board. Of course sea conditions and the weather will influence the Captain`s decision which is in all cases final. If you have a dive site in mind let us know and we`ll do our best to get you there.
Olinda is a comfortable dive and training site in a cove on the South Side of Fishers Island.
