Cabins

Gelen tours around some of the Red Sea's best loved dive destinations. These include The Brother Islands, Deadalus Reef, Elpinstone and St Johns. The ship can accommodate 22 divers in its 14 spacious, air-conditioned cabins, each with en-suite bathrooms.

Built in 2007, this is a large liveaboard of 38m in length and cruises at a fast speed of up to 15 knots, operated by an experienced captain and powered by twin 780 HP Caterpillar engines. Guests can enjoy the indoor air conditioned saloon. This features a self-service bar, TV and music system. Here is also where the dining area is. You can enjoy buffet-style meals with serving dishes presented on the service counter.

There is a comfortable open-air lounge area on the upper deck. A range of soft seating, a music system and another bar all make this a popular spot for chilling out to the max. If you prefer to be out in the sun, you can work on your tan on the sundeck.

When dive time is called, you will gather on the dive deck and gear up. Each diver has their own individual station and under-seat crate for mask, booties and other smaller bits and pieces. The dive deck has freshwater showers so you can rinse off quickly after each dive. Dive facilities include a nitrox blender, aluminium twin sets, 2 compressors and 2 zodiacs.

Guests often remark on the fantastic service on board, the excellent boat crew and dive guides. So come and explore the famous southern region of the Red Sea on Gelen's value-for-money dive cruises.
