Grand Sea Serpent is a liveaboard that will not disappoint. She was launched in April 2005 by the expert Sea Serpent Fleet and refitted in 2010 to create an irresistible modern liveaboard oozing quality. At 41 metres from stern to bow this boat is huge by any standards - and luxurious! Enjoy the envious looks from others as you pull up to the reef on board this beautiful boat with her sleek, classic lines and spacious dive deck.
On such a large vessel there is always somewhere to sunbathe, read a book, take a cool drink at the sun deck bar or just pick a spot and admire the uninterrupted horizon. The decor throughout is fresh and vibrant. Double or twin cabins accommodate 24 divers in total. The modern en suite bathrooms feature multiple jet showers, which are just perfect at the end of the days diving. Grand Sea Serpent is fully equipped to cater to every divers needs - be that as a recreational diver, photographer or technical diver. A Haskel pump on board enables gas mixes to be custom blended. Free nitrox is on offer to all nitrox divers.
Simply the Best is a rewarding itinerary with big fish a plenty. Daedalus Rocky and Zabagad are the pristine reefs of the Southern Marine Park whereas the St Johns itinerary gets right to the furthest corner of the Egyptian Red Sea. Grand Sea Serpents clever build makes light work of the traveling between dive sites, ensuring that you dive only the best sites at the exact right time each day. This is Red Sea diving perfected.

We have just returned from a fantastic week on Grand Sea Serpent and wanted to pass on our sincere thanks to all of the crew and dive guides who were outstanding. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful and we couldn't have wished for better. Nothing was too much trouble and the guides were very knowledgeable. We had a great holiday and will definitely be back! Emma and Paul

Hi Caroline. Just to say thanks for organising our trip again we have had the best time ever. The Grand Sea Serpent was absolutely brilliant we couldn't fault a thing. Sam and Adham were excellent guides and their dive briefs were spot on - everything they said we would see we did from Hammerheads to Turtles and more. The crew were brilliant and great fun and made us all feel special. The food - what can I say - there was always an empty plate with everyone. The chef was lovely to me as I don't eat red meat and he made sure there was a fish dish as an alternative with every meal - I felt very spoilt. Everyone has come home pleading with me to organise another one for next year and I think it will be a hard act to follow - so see you on Sunday at the Dive Show. Thanks again and thank everyone at Scuba Travel. Gaynor

After my second dive trip on the Grand sea serpent I had to say a big thank you for another great trip on what has to be the best livaboard in the red sea. The crew and dive leaders made our week onboard a great Holiday. John

Hi, Thank you for arranging our annual dive trip to the Red Sea. Maggie and I have just returned home after a fantastic week diving with Sam and Adham aboard Grand Sea Serpent which we think is still the best dive boat with the best crew operating anywhere in the Red Sea. The highlight of the week was obviously coming face to face with the Tiger Shark now in residence on Elphinstone but this was the icing on the cake for what was a great holiday made more memorable by Sam and Adhams totally professional approach to briefings and when in the water etc along with their good humour after diving. We will remember Sam for introducing his penalty wig award and Adham for his Werewolf game for a long time. Please pass on our thanks to all concerned and we will be back for another holiday in 2010. Maggie and Mike.

What a fantastic holiday. we went with a couple of rebreathers. The boat is spacious, well set out with an ample dive deck. The food excellent. The crew were friendly, helpful and set up for rebreathers. I would like to say a particular thank you to our dive guides, Ahmed and Adham they were knowledgable and excellent guides while at the same time being relaxed and a good laugh, I definitely want to dive with them again - you couldn't get better. looking forward to the next trip. Janet and John

Hi Max, I have just returned from 2 weeks spent on board Grand Sea Serpent in the Red Sea. I had a fantastic time and found the crew and dive guides ( Adham & Sam) to be extremely friendly, helpful and professional. The diving was fantastic, Boat spotless, food superb and the dive briefings were detailed, fun and accurate. All in all i had a fantastic holiday and had a very different experience to the one on Nautilus 2 in March. Many Thanks. Jackie

Well another trip booked through Scuba Travel and once again the fantastic organisation of Scuba Travel and the boat Grand Sea Serpent came up trumps to give us a holiday of a lifetime. It was a fantastic trip, and we will be booking for the Southern Red Sea again for next year. And who will we booking with? Scuba Travel of course!!!! Thanks again. Peter and Marion

Hi all, I and my friends have just returned from the above trip and I thought I would take the time to drop you a mail to say thanks, the organization and the trip were top class and my friends (this was first liveaboard for some of them) were on a high the whole trip. Had a great time but now back in not so sunny Scotland :) regards. Graeme

Just to let you know that we had a fantastic trip! Grand Sea Serpent lived up to it's reputation, and the guides (Sam & Anna) were top flight. 10 hammerheads and a thresher shark on the second dive set the scene for the week!Thanks to you and the team for all the assistance prior to departure.
