Alfred Niko better known as “Alfred #1” is Santo’s most experienced dive guide with more
than 13,500 dives racked up on the President Coolidge since 1995 (he was personally
trained by Allan Power himself) – there is no better guide in the whole of Santo to explore
The SS President Coolidge & Alfred knows the “Coolidge” like the back of his hand & can
show you things on the wreck that only he knows about.
He also tailors the dive plans to suit any level of experience, so there is something for
everyone to enjoy.
Alfred is also very knowledgeable on the history of Santo and the Coolidge, so you will not
only get the best dive experience, but a great history lesson as well!

Aore Adventure Sports offers the latest, high quality hire equipment and it is serviced as per
the manufactures recommendations.
For your safety all our regulators are supplied with a Oceanic Veo2.0 dive computer, giving you
your personal dive profile and bcd’s equipped with a safety sausage (surface marker buoy)
and whistle.
We are the only dive operators to supply this equipment in Santo, as we make your safety
our number one priority.
We use Oceanic fully balanced FDX10/Eos regulators with Neo occys to ensure perfect breathing
even at the stern of the “President Coolidge”.
Bcd’s are Hollis HD 100’s for the guys and Oceanic Hera’s for the ladies. All bcd’s are weight integrated so are much more comfortable than
wearing a weight belt.
All scuba tanks are 12ltr Catalina Aluminium, offering either a yoke of din valve fitting for your convenience.
For thermal protection we offer 3mm shorties and have masks & fins if required.
Dive Compressors:
Our air supply is from two brand new German built dive compressors, one a Bauer and the other a L&W. These compressor manufacturers are
regarded as the pinnacle in their industry. They are serviced regularly and filters are monitored on a daily basis and changedas per recommendations.
This is all to ensure the cleanest breathing air possible.
All our equipment and air supply system use no silicon lubricants, so oxygen clean equipment stays that way.
