The Lammer Law was built in Canada by owner/designer Duncan Muirhead in 1980. She and her sister ship Cuan Law are the world's largest trimarans. At 93 feet long on deck by 42 feet wide, her size, shallow draft, and the tri-hull design provide extreme stability, both at anchor and underway. The name "Lammer Law" reflects owners and designers, Duncan and Annie Muirhead's Scottish heritage. She is named after a mountain in Scotland.
Lammer Law's size provides spacious living quarters and far more room to spread out than you've seen on many other live-aboard vessels. The man-sized overhead hatches and windows in each cabin provide good ventilation and a bright airy atmosphere.

Lammer Law is a large yacht with all the comfort you would expect from a cruise ship. The artful combination of stability, grace and speed make this yacht a perfect partner for your Galapagos discovery adventure.

For most divers a trip to the Galapagos Islands is a lifetime dream. Diving in the Galapagos cannot be compared to many other dive destinations. Although the islands are located directly on the equator, the water can get cold. The sea life is bounteous with a bizarre mixture of cold and warm water species. Large animals abound. Sharks, sea lions, rays and turtles are seen on nearly every dive. For a photographer, diving here will be a lifetime experience

Guests aboard Lammer Law handle their tanks as little as possible. Set up your tank for the first dive and the crew handles it from there. The tanks, with BCs and regs in place are stored along the outer walls of the aft deck. Masks, fins, snorkels and dive accessories are stored conveniently in trays located under the dive station which keeps the dive deck from becoming cluttered.

Your dive day usually begins early in the morning with the first dive of the day before breakfast. When the dive bell rings to announce the dive, interested divers gather in the saloon. Before every dive a thorough briefing is conducted by the divemaster and/or naturalist. The briefing outlines detailed information about the sub-surface terrain of the dive site, the expected visibility and current conditions, and things you are likely to see at this site. Both divemaster and naturalist join you during the dive and are helpful in pointing out much of the marine life.

After the dive the crew will take your tanks out of the pangas and put them back to your dive station. The crew will make sure you get a full tank for the next dive. Below deck there are three air compressors efficiently pumping the 3,000 psi aluminium 80s.
There is usually a second dive scheduled after breakfast. Depending upon which island the Lammer Law is at, the dive might be substituted for a shore excursion and the second dive could be moved to the afternoon. In some cases evening or night dives are scheduled, depending on location. At Roca Redonda, Wolf and Darwin three or four dives a day are scheduled.

Tanks, weight belts, and weights are provided, as is a dive alert and safety sausage in the event you don't already have one. Two camera rinse tanks and a fresh water shower hose are located at the back of the deck. Occasionally, you can dive from Lammer Law. Her clever dive platform and extended ladders are quite convenient for dives from the back of the vessel if conditions and schedules permit.
