Cabins

Diamond Explorer tours around some of the Red Sea's best loved destinations. These include The Brother Islands, Deadalus Reef, The Tiran Strait, Ras Mohamed and St Johns. The yacht can accommodate 26 divers in its 14 air-conditioned cabins, each with en-suite bathrooms.

This is a large liveaboard of 37m in length and cruises at up to 15 knots, powered by twin 750 HP engines. Guests can enjoy the indoor air conditioned saloon. This features a self-service bar, TV and music system. Here is also where the dining area is. You can enjoy buffet-style means with plates presented on the service counter.

There is a comfortable open-air lounge area on the upper deck. A range of soft seating, a music system and another bar all make this a popular spot for chilling out to the max. If you prefer to be out in the sun, you can work on your tan on the sundeck.

When dive time is called, you will gather on the dive deck and gear up. Each diver has their own individual station and under-seat crate for mask, booties and other smaller bits and pieces. The dive deck has freshwater showers so you can rinse off quickly after each dive. Dive facilities include a nitrox blender, 3 compressors and 2 zodiacs. With such value-for-money cruises, this may be the one diamond you can definitely afford.
