Plan for diving.
Prepare for anything.

When diving, safety is the number one priority. Our diving RIB boats are among the most stable, reliable vessels on the water, with plenty of deck space for divers and gear.

Worthy of the sea

In an ocean of unpredictability, Ribcraft is a constant.

Military-grade power

Our diving RIB boats offer an exhilarating on-water experience without sacrificing the military-grade reliability and safety that RIBs are famous for.

Unmatched performance

Ribcraft’s signature deep V hull grants our RIBs exceptional handling, and our inflatable tube increases buoyancy, stability, and overall performance.

Endless customisation

From the decking material to the colour of the tube to the style of the dive rack, no detail is too small. We’ll build you the exact RIB you see in your dreams.

Why dive with Ribcraft?

Stability

Due to the buoyant, flexible tubes, our diving RIB boats are more stable than traditional boats and can carry more passengers. Your divers will be able to maintain balance on the deck and sit on the tubes to roll backwards into the water with ease.

Easy transport

Our RIB fishing boats weigh less than traditional boats, making it easier for you to transport them to prime launching locations before the crowds arrive. Plus, you can pair RIBs with more lightweight trailers and towing vehicles, saving you money on equipment and fuel.

Easy launch

Launching our RIBs is easier and safer than launching traditional boats because they have a shallower draft. Plus, the shallower draft can open up launching locations that you wouldn’t have been able to use in a traditional boat.

Manoeuvrability

Our RIB fishing boats are highly maneuverable, allowing you to dodge structures to reach magnificent wreckages and other prime diving sites. Anchoring a RIB is easier than anchoring a traditional boat too, in part because RIBs have less windage.

Frequently asked questions

Can my boat be adapted for diving?

All of our models can be customised into the perfect diving RIB boat. Instead of additional seats, we can install a dive rack to hold your bottles, and every model from the R580 upwards comes with a diving ladder built into the A-frame. We can also install our full electronics package to make finding reefs and wrecks a breeze.

How far offshore can a RIB go?

This largely depends on the weather conditions and your fuel capacity. All our diving RIB boats include large below-deck fuel tanks, giving you the power to take your adventure into deeper waters.

What makes a RIB the ideal dive boat?

Our diving RIB boats are incredibly stable. This makes entering and exiting the water easy, and also provides a comfortable environment for pre-dive briefings and equipment checks. All our RIB models are safe, reliable, and powerful, meaning they’re more than up to the challenge of accessing the best dive spots in the sea.

How do I store dive bottles on a RIB?

Instead of additional seats, we can install one of our high-quality custom dive racks on your diving RIB boat, allowing for safe and secure storage while you’re carving your way towards the next dive spot
