JP Marine is a large 37m long Egyptian liveaboard. With its twin 610 HP engines, it cruises at 15 knots to all of the Red Sea marine parks on 1 week dive safaris. Some of the top destinations visited are Brothers and Daedalus Reef, Ras Mohamed and the Tiran Strait, and the St John’s reef system.

The yacht can accommodate 28 divers in its 14 air-conditioned cabins, each with en-suite bathrooms. There is an indoor air-conditioned lounge with a TV, music system, and self-service bar. There are 6 tables where guests can enjoy their meals, which are served on a service counter. The upper deck has a shaded open-air area, with padded benches, comfy seats, a music system and a bar where you can order evening drinks and enjoy the fresh Red Sea air. There is also a solarium on the bridge where you can work on your tan during surface intervals.

The dive deck has equipment storages crates in the kit up area, freshwater showers for freshening up after each dive, as well as a nitrox blender and 3 compressors. There are 2 zippy motorised zodiacs that run divers out to the sites. But perhaps the JP Marine’s greatest feature are the very affordable prices that they charge, making Red Sea diving safaris affordable to those on tight budgets.

Customer rating - Good
"Nice crew. Good dive sites. >230 bars of pressure every dive allowing long and deep dives. Boat is a bit aging and AC didnt work in my room (but appeared to in all the other rooms). Walkways needed to be cleaned a bit more frequently." - , Qatar, 17 October 2021 ...
