Ghazala Explorer is part of the Ocean Tribe Liveaboard Fleet and is one of the newest liveaboard yachts in the Red Sea built in 2021. We are excited to work with this modern boat and her hardworking crew. Departing from Hurghada the Ghazala Explorer offers both Northern and Southern itineraries. Combined with Scuba Travels ATOL bonding and the possibility of regional UK departures, it really is a superb choice. Ghazala has 12 cabins, including three suites. On the lower deck there are 5 twin bed cabins and he majestic king suite stretches across the width of the boat. Make your way up to the upper deck and you'll find 4 upper deck twin cabins and new for 2023 two lovely twin or double suites. All cabins are air-conditioned and with en-suite bathrooms, all are furnished with a towel and dressing gowns for your use on board. A refillable water bottle will be given to you to use during your stay and to keep when you go back home. If you want to request a cabin just request it at the time of booking. One of the first things you will notice walking on board the Ghazala Explorer is how wide she is. This width gives you extra space not just inside the boat but most importantly, on the dive deck and dive platform too. Inside the Ghazala Explorer is bright and airy with a modern decor. The saloon and dining area are very spacious and a natural place to hang out between dives. If sitting inside is not your style then there is a bar area with music on the upper deck, and if you head further up to the top deck you find enough seating and tables for outdoor lunches and dinners. There are tea and coffee making facilities on the upper and top deck. On the upper deck you will find sun loungers and beanbags. Three tasty and well-planned meals served through the day, served buffet style. Most food allergies are taken into consideration in meal planning and preparation. Please inform us about any potential allergies you may have. You can find plenty of outdoor seating with 4 separate areas on the upper deck and fly deck for relaxing.

The Red Sea is an all-season diving destination. Its crystal-clear waters boast unbeatable visibility, and marine life thrives year-round. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned diver, the Red Sea offers something extraordinary. High Season (May to November): Ideal months for diving enthusiasts. Water temperatures are comfortable, ranging from 22C in March to 31C in September (especially in the far south). Low season (December to February): Cooler water, quieter dive sites. Mid-summer (July to August): Heat prevails but out on a liveaboard there is always a nice sea breeze.

Set sail on a six-day diving expedition across the Red Sea's most awe-inspiring underwater landscapes, guided by the expert hand of Mike Ward. Each day promises a new discovery, from historic shipwrecks to bustling coral reefs.
Day 1: Rosalie Moller . Your adventure starts with a check dive, then it's on to Rosalie Moller, a British cargo ship that sank during WWII. As dusk sets in, you may have the chance to embark on a night dive at this site or another nearby, offering a glimpse into the Red Sea's nocturnal fish life.
Day 2: The Thistlegorm. Spend the day at the SS Thistlegorm, a British armed Merchant Navy ship that went down in 1941. You'll get to dive three times, exploring its preserved relics of motorcycles, trucks, and wartime artifacts - a dive through history.
Day 3: After revisiting the Thistlegorm, venture to the Giannis D, a cargo wreck now part of the sea's natural tapestry. The Chrisoula K, with its cargo of Italian tiles, awaits, followed by a night dive at Abu Nuhas reef. The day ends as you set course for the Brothers Islands.
Day 4: The Brothers' Islands call to you with the Numidia and Aida wrecks, nestled among vibrant coral life. Choose your dive - wrecks, reef, or plateau - before the journey to the Salem Express.
Day 5: The Salem Express. Dive here twice to fully immerse in its story and marine surroundings. Later, dive at Al Khafein and enjoy a tranquil night dive on a nearby reef.
Day 6: On your last day, explore Hebat Allah, an artificial reef bursting with life, and then the Miniya & Mohammed Hassabella. These final dives round off your Red Sea saga, leaving you with enduring memories.
