MY Blue Adventurer is a 32m Egypt liveaboard operating the best dive sites of both the northern and southern Red Sea.

You can hang out in air-conditioned comfort in the saloon where you can stretch out on the soft bench seating enjoying the entertainment facilities, flick through some magazines or books and nibble on snacks. Other chill-out spaces include a shaded outdoor lounge area and 2 separate sundecks where you can work on your tan. The upper deck outdoor space is partially shaded, features bean bags, bench seating and tables. The sun deck on the highest tier is particularly spacious and has bench seating and sun mats.

From here you either step into the dive tender or stride off into the sea. 2 ladders are present for easy egress from the water. Camera tables, charging stations and camera rinse tanks will all appeal to photographers and facilities allow for nitrox and rebreather diving.

Day 1
After you land in Hurghada you will be met at the arrival terminal and given assistance with your visa on arrival. A 20 minute air-conditioned van ride will take you to the marina where the Blue Adventurer is moored. Guests will arrive throughout the day for boarding early evening. The tour leader and crew will welcome you on board brief you about the boat and the cruise and assign your cabin. Dinner will be served before bedding down for a good night’s sleep before the fun days ahead.

Days 2-7
The SS Thistlegorm is by far the best-known wreck in the Red Sea. It sits upright on the sea-floor at a maximum of 32m depth. You can see and dive around its cargo of tanks, motorcycles, trucks, weapons, railway carriage and 2 railway engines. The Ras Mohammed marine park promises excellent diving, particularly at Yolanda reef and Shark reef. Both feature excellent hard and soft coral coverage, large numbers of fish and sharks, especially on early morning dives. You will also dive the 4 famous reefs of the Strait of Tiran: Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas & Gordon. These magnificent formations, rising from the depths, are often frequented by large pelagics due to the abundance of currents.
Normally you can expect 4 dives a day; 2 morning dives, a 3rd in the afternoon, and a night dive or sunset dive. On the last day before disembarkation, there will only be 2 dives before the boat sails back to port.
Dining gets underway with a full cooked breakfast each morning (eggs cooked to order, pancakes, cheese, sausages, cereal and toast). Buffet-style lunch and dinner includes plenty of fresh vegetables, rice, noodles, fresh fish, chicken and beef. Dishes are mostly international fare plus a number of local delicacies. Snacks such as fresh fruit, cookies and juice are always available, as is a range of black, green and herbal teas.

Day 8
After breakfast on the final day you can check out around 10:00 hrs, say your goodbyes to the crew and be transferred to the airport or hotel.
