Blue Storm

MY Blue Storm is a modern 40m liveaboard, built in 2020 and launched in March 2021.

The yacht is powered by twin Doosan engines and can reach speeds of up to 14 knots. There are 12 crew on hand to attend to guest needs.

With a beam of 8m, this is a large boat with a variety of relaxation spaces to choose from. There is a air-conditioned lounge on the upper deck with TV, music system, games and a library.

Day 1
A representative of Blue Planet Liveaboards will collect you from Hurghada Airport, help with the visa on arrival procedures, and retrieve your luggage. Take a seat in the air-conditioned van that will take you to Port Ghalib where the dive yacht is moored. The journey takes about 3 hours, or just 10 minutes if you have landed at Marsa Alam Airport. Leave your scuba bag in your personal dive box and take the remaining baggage into the cabin assigned to you. While dinner is being prepared, the tour guide will give a detailed briefing about the Blue Storm features, safety procedures, what to expect from the diving and other general information. During dinner you will meet the other guests and chat about the reefs you're likely to visit. The boat will leave port on the next day after coastguard clearance, visiting a dive site ideal for a check dive.

Days 2-11
This itinerary has been specifically tailored for serious scuba divers who want to enjoy a cruise in the Red Sea with no traffic, providing an ideal underwater environment for all types of divers particularly for underwater videographers and photographers. Part of Elba Reef is in Sudanese waters and special permission has been granted from the Egyptian Navy to dive this pristine and remote reef. During the trip you will also be diving the famous and untouched 113m long Italian Levanzo wreck, built in March 1901 and sunk on 14 March 1923, laying on one of the beautiful Elba reefs at 22-75m in depth.
One of the more current-swept regions of the Red Sea is Rocky Island. Here the nutrient-rich water movement gives rise to healthy gorgonian fans, black coral trees and sponges. Often found sheltering in quieter spots are turtles, grey reef sharks, silvertips, and perhaps also mantas and dolphins. Manta rays and dolphins are also common visitors. In the deep south of Egypt you will have the chance to dive St. John’s Reefs and the Fury Shoals, the healthiest and most colourful in the Red Sea, with their fantastic drop offs, pinnacles, canyons, caves and tunnels, and amazing hard-corals. Sataya, with its resident spinner dolphin population, is a must for snorkelling between dives, as well as having some good underwater offerings, including dugongs and mantas. Wadi Gimal is just to the south of Marsa Alam and is one of Egypt's largest national parks, There are many sites that would suit divers of all levels, featuring big tuna, barracudas, whitetip reef sharks, turtles and Napoleon wrasse.
Hot coffee and cookies will help you waking up for the 1st morning dive that will be introduced by a dive briefing. There are 3 main meals per day served in buffet style. Breakfast happens just before the 2nd dive and usually consists of toast and pancakes with jam and honey, while eggs can be cooked as you prefer, then yoghurt, hot coffee and tea. The ingredients for the main meals are chicken, beef or fresh fish. Rice, noodles, potatoes and various vegetables and salads are the healthy options to choose from. Pudding, cakes or fruit will be accompanying desserts. Lunch is scheduled to be before the 3rd dive, while dinner follows the 4th (night) dive.
