Research notes and uncertainties

Former operator website redirects to Club Paradise Divers and no longer presents this vessel on the landing page. Current ownership and operation require verification.
Published supplier specifications have not been independently inspected. No live position is asserted.
Maritime identity checked against name, vessel type and dimensions. No live coordinates inferred from this static source.
MARINA column identifies the operator, not the legal owner; historical 2017 information is not asserted as current ownership.
AIS Friends shows this identity in the comparison table of its Palausport profile. No callsign or live position is inferred. Other aggregator pages contain unrelated adjacent ship particulars; those fields are excluded.
The 2025 annual report describes Discovery Fleet as earning revenue from dive shops and the two cruise vessels as previously operated. This is a dated corporate operating-history statement, not a current technical survey or evidence of scrapping.
The 2023 annual report contains a stale sentence saying Discovery Adventure operates, inconsistent with its grounding narrative. The later 2025 annual report resolves the operating-status ambiguity.
The vessel photo is historical promotional imagery; the vessel’s recorded non-operational status is unchanged.

Not yet verified: Owner, Draft, Guests, Crew, Refit, Hull, Callsign.
