Dive sites may include the famous wrecks of the north such as the Thistlegorm and Dunraven, Ras Mohamed,the Straits of Tiran and the well-known dive sites of Woodhouse, Jackson, Thomas and Gordon which are rich in marine life. Dive facilities on board include a dive deck located at the back of the boat and dive tender.

Topside the Freedom VIII yacht caters to just 11 guests making her ideal for small groups.
