Item Description

 

A 1.5-hour cruise along the NJ shore for 2 people aboard the Voyager, with Steve & Maureen Langevin of Dive Voyager Expeditions

 

Captains Steve and Maureen will regale you with stories of sharks, including their trip to find sharks off Montauk, New York, with Captain Frank Mundus, who was the inspiration for Captain Quint in JAWS, diving with hundreds of hammerhead sharks in the Pacific, and large silvertip sharks. Plus many more shark stories.

 The Voyager is a 1969 42' Chris Craft Commander built to handle the unpredictable weather of the Northeast Atlantic. She is equipped with twin YANMAR diesels with a comfortable cruise at 20 knots.Fuel tank capacity of 400 gallons allows an extended range. She has a full compliment of new electronics,full stand-up electronic head with sink and shower, galley and 2 helms. The Voyager is docked during the season at Belmar Municipal Marina in Belmar, New Jersey.

Captains Steve & Maureen Langevin are PADI instructors, technical divers, and US Coast Guard licensed Captains. Through Dive Voyager Expeditions, they bring out the spirit of ocean exploration with their award winning documentary films including Pioneers of Northeast Wreck Diving, Women of Northeast Wreck Diving, Search for the HMS Sylph and A Shipwreck’s Secret, a story about the expedition to recover a 5,000 pound anchor from the wreck of the Stolt Dagali which is available for online viewing at SnagFilms. The artifact was donated to the Museum of NJ Maritime History where it is displayed prominently at the entranceway.

Their educational children’s series Our Precious Ocean is fun and entertaining but also teaches young people important facts about sharks, coral reefs and how destructive fishing, plastics and balloons can be harmful. The film Lost at Sea: Texas Tower Disaster debuted in 2012 as a rough cut and they have many more films available or are in progress. Their work has been featured on television, in magazines & newspaper articles, at dive events and film festivals. Maureen is also proud member of the Women Divers Hall of Fame.
