This is my second 530 from the team at Inmar. The first one was great but they made some awesome improvements with this one. The pressure relief valves are a huge safety piece of mind when inflating with a SCUBA tank. Also, the hydro turf on the floor boards is awesome, especially since I'm usually barefoot. I have mine set up with a console, so it's not a tiller steer. Made a lot of design changes so the console is anchored across two of the floor boards. Not sure if they expected us to do this but it works nicely. I've run this boat from Long Beach to Catalina more times than I can count. Very seaworthy but know your limits. I spend a week back home in Texas rescuing people in the flooding from Hurricane Harvey. It did get a few leaks but nothing that the local inflatable shop couldn't fix properly. Great boat. I will be purchasing another one again soon. I really hope they can make the 530 with speed tubes. Thanks again.

Great Boat for the Caribbean

I did a lot of research and settled on the 530. The company was great on providing recomendations and going over all of my questions. It arrived and was better than I expected. I used Zodiac F470's for years in the military and this exceeded all of my expectations. It is a great dive boat here in PR and gets me to places that I can not go to with larger boats. I can launch it from places that others can not and that gets me to dive spots that are not seen much. I have taken it many miles and have even gone from Puerto Rico to the USVI. Not a fast trip but was fun........ Reminded me of my military days..... Again Thanks to INMAR.....
