Tanks are stowed in the tank racks at the back of the boat, with weights on the deck below the tank racks. Dive bags are stowed along the either side of the boat, next to the galley. Personal gear may be stowed in the galley, or your bunk or stateroom. There are many 110V outlets in the galley if you need to charge any battery operated gear. Please make sure to sign the sign in list at the same number position where you have stowed your tank.
