The 43.5m Red Sea Aggressor IV brings a touch of American hospitality to the Red Sea, a destination long considered a favourite among European scuba divers. You can join 7 night diving safaris on this large liveaboard out of Egypt's Port Ghalib, taking in the best of the Red Sea's southern dive sites.

Up to 26 guests can be accommodated on Red Sea Aggressor IV in 11 double or twin share ensuite staterooms. Each cabin has a 32-inch flatscreen TV with a selection of 400 movies, TV shows and documentaries. Guests are also able to plug their computers into the TV to view and edit their underwater photos and videos.

Socialising takes place in the lounge on the upper deck, or the large and comfortable saloon on the lower deck,. This comes complete with TV, DVD, music system and computer. Connectivity is limited to email via satellite phone. Guests often like to hang out here to watch movies, play games, or read books and magazines. Alternatively you can chill out in the loungers or 2 hot tubs on the partially covered sundeck, or enjoy an end of day drink in the cocktail bar with ever-changing views of the southern Red Sea.

Nitrox is available for purchase so you can extend those bottom times on the finest Red Sea dive sites. Photographers will appreciate the photo and video center, and the dive deck's camera table and camera rinse tank. All dives are done from the 3 motorised tenders that accompany the liveaboard yacht. So if you fancy experiencing the best diving of the southern Red Sea with all the comfort and service of the worldwide Aggressor dive safari fleet then let us know and you could soon be stepping on board the Red Sea Aggressor IV.

Day 1
If you arrive at Marsa Alam Airport on the start date you will be met there and transferred to the boat at Port Ghalib harbour. You can board the liveaboard in the afternoon, settle into your cabin and assemble your equipment. There will be a boat briefing when all guests are on board on the first day. Dinner is served in the evening and the boat will remain in the harbour on the first night departing in the morning of the second day.

Days 2-7
Start the day with a breakfast of cereals, juice, fresh fruits and hot entrees. The 1st dive follows soon after breakfast, followed by a snack and then the 2nd dive. A buffet style lunch gives you a chance to chat about your morning encounters which may include big-eye trevally, schools of barracuda and of course sharks. You might even snorkel with dolphins.
Soups, salads and pasta or rice dishes are common lunch items. The menu provides a mix of local Egyptian and international cuisine, all enjoyed in the air-conditioned restaurant on the upper deck. After some downtime after lunch, it will soon be time for the 3rd dive of the day. Daedalus Reef is famed for exhilarating encounters with grey reef sharks, thresher sharks, hammerheads and oceanic whitetips.
On St John's Reef dive cruises there will follow a 4th and, on some days, a 5th dive (night dive), so snacks will keep the hunger away before dinner. The Red Sea dive sites are varied and can involve a coral lagoon, exposed reefs and wall dives, caverns and tunnels, and great sheltered bays for night diving. During dinner you can sample local dishes like babaganoush, foul beans and hummus, and wash it down with a glass of wine or beer, if your diving is finished for the day. You can even arrange a massage with the on-board masseuse to rub any aches away.
The final evening involves a cocktail party and a meal in an onshore restaurant to reminisce about the highlights of your Red Sea liveaboard diving safari.

Day 8
You will wake up after a calm night in the harbour to enjoy breakfast. The crew will then transfer you to Marsa Alam Airport in time for your flight.

Days 2-7
Start the day with a breakfast of cereal, juice, fresh fruits and hot entrees. The 1st dive follows soon after breakfast, followed by a snack and then the 2nd dive. A buffet style lunch gives you a chance to chat about your morning encounters which may include manta rays, shark action and other big pelagics cruising along a vibrant, colourful wall.
Soups, salads and pasta or rice dishes are common lunch items. The menu provides a mix of local and international cuisine, all enjoyed in the air-conditioned restaurant on the upper deck. After some downtime after lunch, it will soon be time for the 3rd and then 4th dives before dinner.
Whether you are experiencing wrecks or wall dives, you will see both the small and colourful, and the big and meaty! One night dive is offered in this itinerary, since there is no night diving allowed at the Brothers or Daedalus Reef. Normally dinner means the end of the day's diving so as you sample local dishes like babaganoush, foul beans and hummus, you can wash it down with a glass of wine or beer.
The final evening involves a cocktail party and a meal in an onshore restaurant to reminisce about the highlights of your Red Sea liveaboard diving safari.

Day 8
You will wake up after a calm night in the harbour having returned to the harbour on the previous afternoon, which included 2 dives that day. The crew will transfer you to Marsa Alam airport in time for your flight.

"The service from the crew, with one exception, was outstanding. I mean everyone outside of one guide and the guy filling our tanks. The tank filler was not concerned with maintaining the water proof integrity of the 1st stage regulators.
The diving was just a little better than 'OK'. There were not enough dive guides and of the 3 we had one was only a little above average., one was below average, and one was someone I would love to dive with all the time. In short, the above water experience topped the underwater experience. I may have had too high of an expectation with respect to the Red Sea.
On at least 2 other trips plus this one, all booked with Dive The World, rep. Vic has been super helpful. Thanks again Vic. I would use your service again and recommend you in a minute." - Tom Sikorski, USA, 23 July 2023 ...
