A Red Sea liveaboard through Ras Mohammed, famous shipwrecks, the Tiran reefs and Dahab, with unlimited diving and nitrox.
Get more infoThe northern Red Sea is a classic liveaboard route that pairs dramatic wall dives and busy coral reefs with some of the world's best-known shipwrecks. On this trip you board a purpose-built dive vessel and travel through the national park at Ras Mohammed, the wreck sites to the north, the Tiran reefs and the Gulf of Aqaba coast near Dahab.
Living aboard means you wake up at the next site, with short transits and plenty of diving. It suits divers who want a packed itinerary, comfortable accommodation and a mix of wrecks, walls and reef life.
The itinerary links iconic sites: Ras Mohammed walls, the Thistlegorm wreck, the Abu Nuhas wrecks, the Tiran reefs and, at the end, the Gulf of Aqaba near Dahab. Expect a mix of wreck penetration or exploration, wall diving and reef drifts.
Water temperature ranges from about 19 degrees C in winter to about 29 degrees C in summer, so a 3 mm wetsuit is common in warmer months and thicker protection suits winter. Currents can be present at some sites, and visibility details are not given, so confirm with us.
Days on board usually run on a set routine of several dives, meals, briefings and rest. The dive deck sits at water level for easy entry and exit and includes a camera station, charging points and fills for nitrox, oxygen and trimix.
Cabins are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, with a range of twin and suite options across several decks. The vessel includes a lounge with audio-video entertainment. Meals, snacks, soft drinks, tea, coffee and water are included on board.
The trip includes a night in Hurghada before boarding and an optional extension in Cairo. Transfers connect the airport, resort and boat. Some extras such as service fees, visas and insurance are not included, so confirm what is covered.
Bring certification, a logbook and dive insurance. Recompression chambers are available at Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab.
