Why choose a liveaboard to dive the Red Sea?
From a hotel you only reach part of the Red Sea. From a boat, the whole sea is yours. These are the reasons why every year more divers choose to spend a week on board.
You reach places day boats can’t
The Brothers Islands, Daedalus, Rocky Island or St. John's are many hours by boat from the coast. No day-trip boat goes that far. On a liveaboard you sail at night while you sleep and wake up anchored next to the wildest reefs of the Red Sea.
You dive more and better
In a week on board you do up to 20 dives, with three or four a day and night dives included. No car transfers, no waiting in port and no hours of sailing every morning: you gear up, listen to the briefing and jump in.
You are first in the water
Sleeping next to the dive site, you can do the first dive at sunrise, before the day boats arrive. It is the best time to see sharks, to dive wrecks like the Thistlegorm in peace and to enjoy the best light.
You live the sea 24 hours a day
Between dives, sun deck, sunsets on deck and starry nights far from the coast. And dolphins very often come close to the boat.
A group that shares your passion
Whether you come solo or with friends, on board you live with divers who feel the same as you. The chats after each dive, the shared logbook and group dinners mean many come back year after year.
Everything in one place
You unpack once and forget about it: accommodation, full board, guides, tank and weights are included. Your only concern is diving and resting.
You can level up
With so many dives in a week, it is the perfect time to get your Advanced, Nitrox or the Deep Diver specialty. And you practise at some of the best dive sites in the world.
