Hurricane stands out in the Egyptian Red Sea - and not just because she is one of the few steel hulled vessels. Many Red Sea liveaboards are compared to Hurricane, but few are as enduringly popular. She has won the prestigious "Liveaboard of the Year" award no less than 3 times between 2004-2006 and fans of Hurricane often cite the superb diver comfort, thoughtful layout and highly experienced crew as the reasons they keep coming back year after year.

At 36m there is bags of space on board Hurricane. No detail was over looked when she was built and she is continually renovated to maintain the highest standards. There are 11 cabins in total spilt over the main and lower deck. The 4 main deck cabins are a mix of twin or double beds (with a bunk above). The lower deck cabins are all twins apart from the bow cabins, which have a double bed and bunk above. Cabins are allocated at the time of booking so do ask your travel consultant if you have a specific request. All have individual air con, en suite bathrooms, a fridge and safe box.

You will instantly recognise what has become the Tornado Marine Fleet signature design. The dining and saloon areas are divided to provide optimum comfort at all stages of the trip. Upstairs opens up into the AC saloon with the bar, flat screen and seating area. Outside there is a seated deck (ideal for your post dive tales), the upper sun deck and loungers and jacuzzi. Down on the dive deck extras include an air gun for cameras, high pressure gas bending facilities (including trimix), nitrox compressor and gear storage. The steel hull and low dive platform make Hurricane a stable ride in even the bumpiest of weather and entry and exits are easy. Hurricane has it all - and it is easy to see just why divers fall in love with her.

Now on our 5th Scuba Travel live-a-board, still never ceases to amaze how such quality food is produced in such a confined galley. The food as always is excellent. It has to be about the lion fish. To photograph them struggling with the current as much as us was a welcomed sight. Again photo opportunities in abundance. Des & Lee

Fantastic crew, very friendly, very polite and always willing/ prepared to help you in any way they could. Both dive guides could not have done any more to make the trip a success, Reda professionalism is a credit to your company. Scott Waterman

Amusing dive!!! Despite being told exactly where the wreck was it took us a while to find it. We were so distracted by the fish and the barge and the reef that we managed to miss a pod of dolphins directly behind us. I did wonder what the squeaking noise was... Great boat, loads of different areas to explore. The boat has a sundeck for basking in the sun on topdeck, tables and chairs on the level below for socialising. A well stocked bar with comfy couches. Plenty of space and a great atmosphere! Cabins are cleaned daily and comfortable. What more could you ask for? Susie

This has been my (Morag's) first Live aboard, and won't be my last, the guides have been brilliant, with good, informative briefs about the dives, with excellent knowledge about currents and conditions of the water. I have also completed my Advanced Open Water on board this week, and have enjoyed this too! Though I do think that entering wrecks is not my forte! Also the crew of the Hurricane have been most helpful, the boat is clean, great food and snacks, and if it wasn't for the zodiac drivers I'd never get back into the boat! Craig & Morag

Well well well, after perfection all week with a 5 star boat, quality dive deck, awesome food and the finest crew to sail the Red Sea, what could possibly top a top week! How about more perfect food, more perfect facilities, more happy crew and divers and throw in turtles, tuna and the odd hammerhead shark!!! Awesome is too weak a word for our stay. Jim & Jem

As always the trip has been fantastic. Absolutely perfect. We have always travelled with Scuba Travel and will always continue to do so. Tornado boats are in a class of their own and Mike Ward deserves a medal for everything he does too! Amazing historical knowledge from Mike Ward. Owen

I came back a couple of weeks ago having spent a week on my first ever liveaboard, Hurricane with D and Laura, and just want to say that the week was Superb. Wow what a holiday and so much fun. Please pass my thanks to them as they really made the week fantastically fun with amazing diving. Many thanks and will be back again, hopefully soon! Peter Matheson

The guides, Laura and Dickon, were two of the best guides I have encountered with yourselves and also with other operators, i.e.Blue O Two. These two guides are a complete credit to your organisation and whatever you pay them you should double it! Seriously, they were both wonderful in getting the group to bond, very approachable and helpful, the briefings were excellent, clear and concise and their care about environmental issues was infectious. I would follow Laura and Dickon to any boat you put them on. This was definitely one of the best liveaboard holidays I have had with your company... and I got it half price!! Thank you.

The guides on the Hurricane have been excellent this week. Friendly, professional and always willing to answer a question they have probably heard 100 times! They point out things of interest on dives and offer a fantastic all round service. The dive briefings are very thorough with a good mixture of the history of the wrecks, clear visuals of the coral gardens, routes to take and currents to watch out for. The variety of visuals used is excellent and compliments the guides' commentary well. The crew are also friendly and professional, always on hand to help you with your wetsuit, fins or BCD. They keep the boat and zodiacs spotlessly clean. I was particularly impressed when they went out of their way to assist people who had stomach upsets, sinus or ear trouble with offers of medicines, plain food at meal times and an extra bathroom clean! Essentially, no request was ever too much trouble. Ian
