Our Ship
Originally built by Dennis Twiss in Cambridge as a internationally cruising treasure hunter, to send bell divers down on old shipwrecks in the pacific islands. Constructed of "drip-cured" Ferro cement, reinforced with hydro-dam steel leftover from nation wide projects. Kiwa II`s history entwines with the story of Kelly Tarleton, who furthered his diving career aboard with Dennis. Kiwa II truly is a one of a kind, with a rich history...
