There are six cabins on the main deck, two of which are equipped with a double bed and can also be used as family cabins for 2 adults and 1 child. Additionally, there are four double cabins on the upper deck.

Meals:

Three buffet-style meals are served, featuring mainly European and Arabic specialties. A Nespresso coffee machine is available on board—please bring your own capsules!

Salon:

There are two air-conditioned salons, one on the main deck and one on the upper deck, both equipped with TV/DVD and a stereo system. The dining area is located on the lower deck. There are three bars on the main, upper, and sun decks.

Sun Decks:

There are two beautifully furnished and cozy sun decks with lounge chairs and seating areas that offer plenty of space to relax. The sun deck features a Jacuzzi, perfect for unwinding after a strenuous day of diving.

Diving:

The large dive deck with a platform is very spacious and offers plenty of room for every diver.

Please note:

Please bring a valid medical clearance certificate. Provided there are no health issues, this can be confirmed by signing the medical self-declaration form to be filled out on board. Proof of at least 30 logged dives must be provided. For safaris visiting marine parks, Egyptian law requires proof of at least 50 logged dives. The most recent dive should not have taken place more than one year ago. Please bring a copy of your passport, proof of valid diving insurance, and a safety buoy.

The maximum diving depth prescribed by Egyptian law and CDWS regulations is 30 meters. Under certain conditions, however, extensions to 40 meters are permitted. This requires a Deep Dive certification. Night diving, as well as swimming and snorkeling, are prohibited in marine park areas.

As a general rule, all overnight stays are on the safari boat. In exceptional cases (depending on the boat’s occupancy schedule), the last night may be spent in a 4**** hotel on a half-board basis.

Group Offer:

For groups of eight or more people, we offer a 10% discount.

25% discount on the safari price for children and teens up to 12 years old, as well as for non-divers.

When booking two consecutive safaris, we offer a discount of 50 euros per person per week on the safari price.

Note:

The operation of a liveaboard trip depends on the weather, sea conditions, local regulations, and the experience of the participating divers. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee access to specific reefs.
