Egypt 
MY Blue Storm is a brand-new (2021) 37 metre purpose-built Red Sea dive liveaboard. It offers trips to the best dive sites in Egypt’s Red Sea, focussing on the southern itineraries, plus the world-famous ‘Brothers, Daedalus & Elphinstone’ route.
The boat has five cabin types, on three of its four decks. Most cabins are twins & doubles, for two guests, but there are also two triple-bed cabins for groups.
The upper deck of MY Blue Storm has two double-bed guest cabins, and outdoor communal areas both at the front and back.
The main deck has two double-bed & two twin bed cabins, plus the large air-conditioned lounge saloon & dining room. At the rear is the dive deck that’s large and well designed.
The boat’s lower deck has two triple-bed cabin and three standard twin cabins. Normally, the triple cabins are sold to just two guests (at the twin cabin rate), but if three guests join togther and want a cabin for three, then this can be arranged with rates lower than displayed.
All cabins are fully air conditioned and have their own private bathroom.
The sundeck has plenty of space to relax during the day or at night, both shaded & exposed.
M/Y Blue Storm’s week-long cruises begin on Thursday evenings. Depending on which itinerary you join, you can enjoy up to 21 dives per trip. It spends most of its time departing from Port Ghalib and sailing to the famous three dive sites of The Brothers, Daedalus & Elphinstone. Plus there are regular safaris to the south. Disembarkation is the following Thursday morning after breakfast, with free transfers to local airports. The boat has the latest safety & communication facilities, ensuring that guest safety always comes first.
