When you choose live aboard you have the best opportunity
to become acquainted with the Red Sea.
Living, sleeping, eating and relaxing on board, the sea always directly
under you – this is a dream of every diver. In the evenings
you can watch the beautiful starry sky and talk about a diver’s
life – this
is a life abroad!
Exciting
early morning dives, relaxing daily dives, interesting
night dives – what more do you want!
You don’t have to carry tanks or walk long distances – you
are directly on the spot.
One step
in the water and immediately you find yourself in an amazing underwater
world. Good visibility, dreamlike corals, and
millions of colourful fishes. This is the Red Sea.
Whether
you are interested in wrecks (North Safari) or in reef landscapes
and drop offs in the
south, the nearly untouched reefs of St. John’s
or the top-spots: Brother Islands, Zabarged or Rocky Island, everybody
will find his favorite safari.

| Daily Agenda |
|
Early in the morning you
will be woken up gently and while you are drinking coffee, tea and
cookies you will listen to the briefing for your early morning
dive.
Soon under
water everybody will be awake!!!
After the dive breakfast will be waiting
for the hungry divers. Now on the sundeck you can enjoy sunbathing
or you can relax in the shade.
Before lunch you get your second dive and
after that it is time for a short nap. In the afternoon
the third dive
takes place followed by afternoon tea or coffee.
Dinner is served
at around 7:30 p.m. If there is a night dive planned dinner times may
be adjusted accordingly . Night dives are nearly always offered. However,
for example at Brother Islands night dives are not allowed.
And then it is time for watching the stars and for a cold beer! Cheers
and good night!

Diving |
|
| |
A minimum of two up to three dives a day are
programmed with the added option of a night dive. Although there can
be long traveling distances between sites, we do most of these journeys
at night, so diving time is not compromised.
On the last day of Safari,
we offer two dives because of the dive-break before flying home.
For drift
dives and to reach the more interesting places of the reef we use the
Zodiac (rubber dinghy).
On a live aboard it is common that after a detailed
briefing the divers are able to dive independently as a buddy team.
