About Miss Nouran
Miss Nouran is the original Sea Serpent vessel and keeps going from strength to strength. A deep keel makes her fabulously stable and a firm favourite with guests and crew alike. Completely refitted in 2007 she fits right into the Sea Serpent fleet of modern luxury vessels.
Extended from her original build, she is now 30m long and with more space than ever before. From the water her clean lines are distinctive and on board she has a friendly atmosphere that is hard earned and well deserved. Twin and bunk berths are available, all of which are en suite and with air con. Two sun decks ensure that there is always a shady spot to curl up in or a sunny corner to work on your suntan. Free nitrox onboard and a huge back platform makes diving from Miss Nouran straight forward. The long standing crew and knowledgeable dive guides know how to make every aspect of your week go smoothly and safely.
Miss Nouran ranges the entire Southern Red Sea. From the Northern shores of Hurghadas Wrecks and Reefs to the sublime and secluded pinnacles of St Johns. The Brothers only itinerary gives divers a chance to get to grips with the remarkable depths and wrecks of these remote islands whilst Daedalus Rocky and Zabagad are far flung havens for turtles and schooling fish. Miss Nouran has been there and done it all, which ensures that this liveaboard keeps delivering quality year after year.

Miss Nouran has two mid deck twin cabins, located on the upper deck. These cabins have lovely big rectangular windows facing the ocean. All the upper deck cabins onboard have twin beds, en suite, air con and safe.

Just thought I would let you know that all went really well on the trip out to Daedalus, Rocky and Zabargad. The crew on Miss Nouran have been the best I have ever had, amazingly friendly and helpful. We had two brilliant guides, Katey and Sameh who were outstanding. Hotel was great and all accommodation good, transfers, flights all went like clockwork and the whole trip was a huge success in that liveaboard virgins are firm converts and no issues whatsoever (its been a very very long time since I organised a trip with no issues so that's been a huge bonus!!) Of course I should say that as usual dealing with you guys in the office back in the UK has as always been a pleasure and as efficient as normal. Thank you all and here's to the next trip!

Dear Tristan, Ive just got back from a Miss Nourans to the Brothers. It was a fantastic trip, the diving was unheard of (oceanics, whale shark, thresher, manta, greys every dive, and tiger sharks to name a few sightings!!!), the boat accomodations, food and the crew were just excellent, and the dive guides were simply perfect, on top their game. Ahmed Fouad Hassan justifies yet again his reputation as one of the best guides on the Red Sea liveaboards, and Jos ( I forgot his last name, a young Dutch guy) delivered spot-on briefings and was a fantastic guide/fishfinder underwater. He his an excellent addition to the Sea Serpent fleets guiding team! Thanks again for your gretly appreciated help.
Kathryn and Joe.

Hi, Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with our recent Scubatravel trip on Miss Nouran (5 to 12 August) absolutely every single aspect of it was fantastic, transfers, boat and crew, diving, food, everything! We were particularly keen to let you know how great the dive guides Ahmed and Jos were, they truly worked hard for us all the time, were always keen to help, patient with us, clear in briefings and also very entertaining! Jos was very good in particular, it was hard to tell he was completely new to the boat and his apparent youth (from looks!) didn't match his obvious skill and expertise as a dive guide on a liveaboard, always aware of everyone needs, checking things were ok, fantastic dive skills and obvious passion for the job. Thanks again. We may well be travelling with you in future and will certainly not hesitate to recommend you to friends!

I had the best time diving with Will & Katie off the Miss nouran in the red sea. I had dived the barrier reef, mexico, florida but after diving the Red sea from a great liveaboard I will def be back once i save up the money. Great diving sharks even a tiger. Was one of the best diving holidays i have ever been on. Fantastic set up and great guides and friendly crew keep up the great work.

Hi Max, Just a quick note to tell you about our trip on Miss Nouran last week. The whole holiday was excelent, we got to dive with mantas and a thresher. The boat was very clean, and the food was to a high standard. The guides Achmed and Hani deserve particular praise, both in and out of the water they were great, frankly I rate both of them as the best guides I have dived with! On this occation Hani had most of the luck, with many mantas, grey reef and a buitifull "thresher" sightings. I am certain next time it will be Achmed's turn to see the thresher as he was seriously doing his best! It was a nice to see the Sea Serpent fleet have taken note of my last trip and fitted none slip grips on the steps, many of the repeat guests comented on how much safer it was! On the last trip the septic tanks were emptied over the reef and even over divers, this time I don't even know when they were emptied, so they were doing it right! I will certainly be booking again soon, and next time I
