What a liveaboard feels like underwater
Not only the route determines the character of a liveaboard, but also the atmosphere underwater: wrecks, blue water, schools of fish, wide visibility and the feeling of diving far out at sea.
Wreck experience in the north
The north tours combine history, structure and atmosphere underwater – especially at legendary wrecks such as the Thistlegorm.
Open water, blue water and depth
Especially on offshore routes, this special liveaboard feeling develops: open sea, clear visibility and impressive dives far away from the coast.
Big fish as a special highlight
On selected southern routes, encounters with oceanic whitetips, hammerheads and other pelagic species can be among the most impressive moments.
Atmosphere on board
A liveaboard is more than just diving. Life on board, the atmosphere within the group and the special moments between dives are also what make these trips so unforgettable.
Welcome on board
The start of a liveaboard begins with anticipation, good organisation and that special feeling that several intense diving days in the Red Sea are about to begin.
Evenings with a real safari atmosphere
After the last dive of the day, the Red Sea often shows its calmest and most beautiful side – with sunset, sea views and a relaxed atmosphere on deck.
Small groups, big experiences
Liveaboards thrive on a good atmosphere, shared experiences and a well-coordinated team. That is exactly what makes the time on board so special for many guests.

Frequently asked questions about liveaboards in the Red Sea
The most important questions about route, experience, boarding, equipment and organisation directly visible as cards.

Boarding is possible from 11:00 am depending on the tour. If you arrive via Hurghada, you can use the organised group transfer.
Can I fly directly to Marsa Alam?
Yes. If you find a suitable flight to Marsa Alam, transfer from the airport to the boat can also be organised on request.
Is Nitrox necessary?
