MV Sunshine is a 30m long Egyptian motor vessel that operates budget-friendly liveaboard diving cruises for 20 guests in the Northern Red Sea to its superb wrecks and reefs. This means it specialises in trips to dive at the Straits of Tiran, Ras Mohamed National Park, the world famous SS Thistlegorm World War 2 wreck, the Abu Nuhas wreck system, and the Rosalie Moller.

The air-conditioned saloon has both a lounge with comfortable seating, TV and audio entertainment system, and a dining area for buffet meals. Sunshine understand well how important it is to have great food when you're diving 4 times a day. The menu was created by the executive chef. He not only treats you with tasty food, but makes sure it is perfectly balanced. The galley uses fresh meat and poultry from selected butchers and fresh fruit and vegetables from farms in Qena, Luxor and Nile Delta.

There is a large selection of movies that guests can watch, and an international book library. Wifi is available onboard too. The upper deck has a partially covered sun area with seating and loungers, ideal for enjoying the sea breezes and the Red Sea sunshine. There is an open-air bar and music system where guests can share dive stories, socialise a little with the 11 boat crew, and enjoy a cocktail or beer as the sun sets on another memorable day in Egypt

All the simple cabins have private en-suite bathrooms, They each have twin beds with air-conditioning and daily housekeeping. There is a choice of lower deck or upper deck accommodation. Complimentary toiletries are provided, as well as cabin, dive and beach towels.

2 motorised dinghies are used to take scuba divers to the sites, or occcassionally you can jump in straight from the dive platform, if conditions allow. The dive deck features enriched air nirox for certified divers, wetsuit and towel dry rails, individual gear storage crates, camera rinse tanks, table and battery charging station.

Sunlight Red Sea liveaboard safaris do not use freelancers. Most of the staff have been with the company for a long time and are very professional. They are a competent crew that understand the needs of guests and can deliver a high quality servce. They are also vey flexible to scuba diver special requests - if you want an early morning dive to dive with sharks, no problem! If you want to reserve an unusual route to dive a rare wreck, no problem once again!
