What are some of the best scuba related boat names you have seen?
I'll get it started with:
Under Pressure
Getting Tanked
DownTime
BottomTime
Lady Go Diver
I have dove off a boat called the "Scuba Spirit" here in the midwest. I named my boat the " Scallywag"

Diversity [aka 'diver city']
acutally, maybe it was the other way around... ;)

My favorite is more advice than a dive related name...

Yesterday, as we piled into a boat taking us to Kota Kinabalu's Mamutik and Manukan Islands, I scanned the names of the docked boats.
I found curious how "Tiger Balm" was coincidentally side-by-side with "Cool Cat." Further off was "Yellow One," which, if you go by its common enough euphemism, might as well be named "Scaredy Cat" :)

Hey Quero a.k.a Marcia (or the other way around), got more boat names from last month’s dive trip to Apo Island in the Visayas.
The 12-meter dive boat that we went out on goes by the name “Calypso” (fitting: nymph-daughter of Atlas—or maybe the pop-culture association: Pirates of the Caribbean’s sea goddess bound in human form).
To and from the dive sites, noted boats named:
“Annabel Lee” (presumably a nod to Edgar Allan Poe’s melancholic poem for a girl who died young, buried in a tomb by the sea),
“SeaMaster” (either owner likes WWII strategic bomber seaplanes or he has delusions of grandeur, lol),
“Kuatros Marias” (owner probably has a house full of women who he either loves so much he just has to make his affections known out on the waters or, more simply, it's such a matriarchal household that they naturally just put their stamp on everything :D),
and “Discovery Rider” (either owner follows Discovery Channel cyclists or he’s got it right about every dive being that kind of ride :) )

The famous dive boat around these parts was called The Seeker.
