M/Y Tranquillity is a stunning 45m steel hulled Red Sea liveaboard, built and designed for comfort, safety and stability. And with only 24 guests on board, our divers love the oodles on spaces on board as well as fabulous facilities, guides and crew. She is a true home from home. Is this diving perfection? We like to think so! Tranquillity offers 12 well-appointed cabins across 3 decks, all with en suite, media player, hairdryers and individual AC climate controls. The lower deck cabins (1-7) have individual climate control, monitor with media player, private en-suite bathrooms and portholes windows in the cabin. Or why not upgrade to one of the upper deck master cabins (10-13)? The 2 twin and 2 double bedded masters have the addition of a picture window in the main cabin and portholes in bathrooms. The suite on the main deck (9) is the largest cabin on board and you will love panoramic windows 24/7 picture postcard view as well as double bed and masses of space. On the main deck, you can relax in the airy salon with two large TV screens. A small library of books for exchange is maintained onboard, as well as fish identification books for when you spot a new find for your logbook. The dining area is seperate, and the chef delights in serving up freshly prepared meals (buffet style) snacks and post dive treats. On the upper deck and fly deck you will find a spacious sundeck with chaise lounges, deck chairs, jacuzzi and bar, as well as BBQ area. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the view! The dive deck is very generous. Kit up in your dive spot as tanks are filled in situ. You will find a large central camera table, plus charging stations. Diving can be done from the rear platform or wihzz to sites on the zodiacs. And at the end of the diving, getting back in is a doddle with the zodiac ladders. Built to Lloyd's Registry and American Bureau of Shipping Standards. Captain and staff are professionally licensed as required by the laws of the country in which the yacht operates and complies with and the appropriate flag state regulations and/or SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) standards.

Dive Brothers Islands, Daedalus and Elphinstone on what is Simply the Best of the Southern Red Sea! Get ready for the best pelagic dives in Egypt and fast faced wall dives in the Egyptian marine parks.
Simply the Best truly lives up to its name — offering some of the most exhilarating and iconic scuba diving in the Southern Egyptian Red Sea.
This legendary itinerary explores the offshore Marine Park reefs of Brothers and Daedalus, combined with the dramatic steep walls of Elphinstone. These protected Egyptian Marine Parks are places of extraordinary underwater beauty, where sheer walls plunge into the deep blue and life thrives in breathtaking abundance. For centuries, lighthouses have warned passing ships of the dangers hidden below the surface — but for divers, these waters are nothing short of a playground. Expect thrilling drift dives, heart-pounding drop-offs, pelagic encounters, and historic wrecks. Dive after dive, Simply the Best delivers unforgettable experiences and earns its place as a must-see Red Sea liveaboard adventure.
Diving here is famously unpredictable — and that’s part of the magic. After an initial check dive, the Brothers Islands are usually your first major wall destination. Overnight sailing means waking up right where the action begins. Little Brother is renowned for adrenaline-fuelled shark encounters, while Big Brother hosts the iconic wrecks of the Numidia and Aida, draped in coral and history.
Another overnight journey carries you to the legendary Daedalus Reef — a massive triangular outcrop rising from the depths. Its vertical walls rival the Brothers, adorned with towering hard coral formations. Schooling hammerheads are frequently spotted off the northern point, while currents sweep over gardens of vibrant anemones, alive with darting damselfish.
The journey concludes at Elphinstone Reef, completing a trio of world-class wall dive destinations. Elphinstone has earned a global reputation as one of the best places to encounter oceanic whitetip sharks (September to January). Reef sharks patrol the northern plateau, while barracuda, snapper, and tuna are constant companions across all sites.
Simply the Best is an advanced itinerary, ideal for divers confident with wall dives, drift diving, and liveaboard conditions. Diving can be fast-paced, and the use of an SMB is essential. Photographers should bring wide-angle lenses to capture the sweeping walls and pelagic action, though the macro life is equally rich and rewarding.
These Marine Parks are remote, and the lighthouse crews at Brothers and Daedalus are always happy to welcome guests with a glass of hot tea. With reefs plunging into great depths and warm waters year-round, the area also appeals to technical divers.
Night diving is prohibited in the Northern Marine Parks, preserving the pristine nature of these sites. Remote, demanding, and utterly spectacular. Simply the Best is an adventurous journey where the rewards are as immense as the reefs themselves. Venture out and discover why this itinerary has earned its formidable reputation.
