The Snefro Spirit is a 'Gold Class' boat from the King Snefro Fleet and is ISO-certified. The operator was awarded the IATD Tourism Shield of Excellence in 2006, so you can expect high quality and you won't be disappointed.

This is a wooden hulled, twin engine Sharm El Sheikh liveaboard that sleeps up to a maximum of 18 guests and, with 8 to 10 staff on board, you can be sure that there is always someone nearby to cater to your needs. The week-long trips depart on Saturdays and take in the best diving that the Red Sea's Sinai Peninsula has to offer.

Facilities are spread over the 4 decks, with an air conditioned saloon with a large flat screen TV and plush seating, and a dining area on the main deck. You will find various board games, books and magazines available. Free wi-fi is available throughout the boat. Sun bathing can be done on the partially shaded upper and sun decks where there is a bar with fridges, sun beds and music.

All cabins have private ensuite bathrooms and consist of Standard twin share cabins on the lower deck, plus a Deluxe double bed suite on the upper deck which has larger windows and superior views over the Red Sea.

The large dive deck has plenty of space for kitting up, as well as 2 fresh-water showers on the platform and 2 bathrooms, The compressors are located below deck and are silent during operation. The Snefro Spirit offers its Egypt diving safari guests free use of nitrox, so for Sinai Peninsula liveaboard luxury and a fun atmosphere, there are few that can lay claim to the throne of the Snefro Spirit.
