Seawolf Dominator is huge Red Sea diving liveaboard ship, measuring 42 metres long and more than 8 metres wide. But unlike many other boats this size, it only accommodates up to 26 guests. Therefore there's more space per person in addition to safe and steady sailing. There are three types of cabin to choose from, and plenty of very large communal areas for relaxing, dining, socialising, and gearing up for the fantastic dives on offer. Nitrox is available for free, and the German organisation ensures that everything runs safely and according to plan.
Like most Red Sea liveaboards, Dominator has three main decks, in addition to its sundeck on top. The guest cabins are mostly on the lower deck, with a few more also located on the upper deck. The boat's main deck is where you find the communal areas for eating delicious food, chilling, and for diving equipment. However, with its vast amount of space Seawolf Dominator has something extra. On the uppermost deck of most dive liveaboards in Egypt there's just a seating area which is partially covered and partially exposed. But on Dominator in addition to the standard sundeck seating area, at the rear of the uppermost deck there's an al fresco dining area for the best views while eating delicious food. Most meals are served in the air-conditioned lounge on the main deck, but if conditions allow you can enjoy your meal on top of the boat. As already mentioned, there's an air-conditioned restaurant / dining room, which adjoins the lounge saloon that has plenty of seating, a book library and audio-visual entertainment. In addition to the sundeck on the uppermost deck, there's a sunbathing area at the front of the boat's upper deck, in front of the captain's bridge. Whether you want to relax alone, in couples, or in small or large groups, you will always find somewhere on Dominator.
Eight of the 13 guest cabins are located on the lower deck. These are all twin cabins, with side-by-side single beds. If you're travelling with a friend or sibling, or alone, these cabins are perfect. The team will not mix genders for solo guests, meaning that if you're a lady travelling alone, your cabin mate will only be female. There's another twin cabin on the upper deck, and this has a large window and the door opens out on deck. Also on the upper deck are three double-bed cabins, which are ideal for couples. All guest cabins on Seawolf Dominator have independently-controlled air conditioning, private bathroom with hot & cold shower, and a minibar refrigerator.
The dive team and crew work hard throughout each cruise to maximise everyone's safety, comfort and enjoyment. This includes the boat boys, kitchen staff, housekeeping and of course the dive guides. Diving from Seawolf Dominator is safe and convenient, with lots of space on the dive deck and in the two motorised tender dinghies. Nitrox is available for free to certified divers, and if you're not Nitrox certified but want to be, this can be done on board. Most of the trips sail from Port Ghalib in the south, and visit the southern reefs and wrecks of Egypt's Red Sea. The diving is fantastic, and the on-board facilities are luxurious, so it's sometimes hard to choose if you want to stay on the boat or jump in the sea! Luckily, the week-long cruises give you plenty of time to get the most of both.

Itinerary
Most Seawolf Dominator trips sail from and return to Port Ghalib, in the south of Egypt, although a few trips use Hurghada. Most trips start and finish on Thursdays.
You board the boat during the evening of the first day, and the boat stays in the harbour during the night. In the morning the boat departs and your first dive will be at a local reef with easy and safe conditions for a check dive. there are usually two or three dives on the first full day, and this depends on the destination. Some diving days offer four dives including a night dive, but night diving is prohibited in Egypt's Marine Parks.
There are five full diving days (Friday - Tuesday) and on the Wednesday you dive up to two times in the morning, which allows 24 hours before any flight immediately after disembarkation.
We have a list of itineraries below, which match trips on the schedule.
The itineraries below are the most-common for each trip, but these can sometimes be changed for a number of reasons. Small changes are made due to weather & sea conditions, special marine life sightings, overcrowded dive sites, local-authorities' instructions, and the needs & requests of the paying guests. The safety & comfort of all guests is most important at all times.
