The M/Y Discovery I (ex-Amelia) is a 32m long wooden hull motor yacht that operates unbeatable value liveaboard diving safaris throughout the Egyptian Red Sea. The water boasts world class diving and excellent visibility all year round. What better way to spend a week than waking up at undisturbed sites to dive the world famous wrecks and marine parks of the Red Sea!

Discovery I accommodates 20 guests in 10 twin/double air-conditioned cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom. It has a spacious saloon, which has a separate dining and lounge area with bar, offers A/C, DVD/TV/video and a music system. The food served onboard is said to be amazing!

There are 2 large sundecks, one with a bar and shaded area with table and chairs, the other with mattresses for sunbathing. There is ample room for all guests to relax and enjoy their time in the sunshine between dives.

There are 2 x 5+m Zodiacs with 40 HP outboard engines that run scuba divers out to the sites, where they can use the free enriched air nitrox supplied by the onboard membrane system to extend their time underwater and marvel at the kaleidoscope of colours that will greet you from the rich variety of fish and corals. The dive platform has freshwater showers to rinse off after each dive, and rinse tanks to soak salt-sensitive equipment once you're back onboard.

Due to its unbelievable value for money, the Red Sea is an ideal destination for all scuba divers, and the appeal of liveaboard diving here is undeniable. You can make 3-4 dives per day and reach spots that fewer other divers get to visit. With its friendly and hard working crew, and professional guiding service, the Discovery I liveaboard is one of the best in terms of value for money.
