At 22m in length, King Snefro 6 is one of the smaller liveaboards in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Built in 1999 in Alexandria in 1999, King Snefro 6 underwent a major refit in 2020. It operates short dive trips around the Red Sea's Sinai Peninsula and Straits of Tiran. Accommodating a maximum of only 8 divers per departure, you can be sure of an intimate cruise experience and lots of personalised attention from the boat crew and dive staff.

You will spend your time relaxing indoors in the air conditioned saloon and dining area where you can enjoy TV, video and music system, and help yourself to snacks, soft drinks, drinking water, tea and coffee 24 hours per day. Otherwise you can stretch out on the liveaboard's sundeck, either soaking up the warm Sinai sunshine or in the cool of the shade with a good book.

There are 5 air-conditioned cabins, all which have ensuite bathroom facilities.. King Snefro 6 offers a fun liveaboard diving trip around the Northern Red Sea in smaller groups which makes it a great choice for a full charter out of Sharm El Sheikh.

Customer reviews:

"It was all excellent. Equipment was in good order, the crew was very friendly and helpful, and sometimes they were good fun too. Facilities were certainly up to standard. We were treated to fruit and snacks after every dive and 3 good meals a day. And the divemaster was most patient when our lack of diving for 2 years perhaps showed a little sometimes. All very good." - Peter Klaver, Netherlands, 3 December 2013 ...

"Equipment was fantastic, the liveaboard was spotless, staff were super friendly, knowledgeable and professional, food was fantastic." - Amber McIntyre, New Zealand, 20 June 2012 ...
