A premier platform for photography-focused voyages, expert dive assistance, and Nitrox-supported discovery in the Red Sea.
Egypt's Red Sea presents a dynamic underwater environment of reefs and historical wrecks, explored from the 23-meter liveaboard Amelie. The Red Sea is an elongated basin of seawater separating Africa from the Arabian Peninsula.

Dining aboard the Amelie features freshly prepared regional Egyptian specialties and Western dishes served buffet-style in the dedicated dining room. The crew accommodates dietary needs with vegan and vegetarian options upon request, and snacks are available throughout the day. Guests can enjoy complimentary soft drinks, tea, and coffee from the beverage station, with beer and wine available for purchase.
The Red Sea is widely regarded as one of the world's top diving destinations, famous for its exceptional visibility often exceeding 30 meters and warm waters throughout the year. Divers encounter a remarkable variety of marine life, from oceanic whitetip sharks, hammerheads, and grey reef sharks to graceful manta rays and pods of spinner dolphins. The region offers world-class wreck diving, including the legendary SS Thistlegorm, and pristine coral reefs at Ras Mohammed National Park. Southern itineraries explore remote offshore reefs such as Daedalus, Elphinstone, and the Brothers Islands, where dramatic walls plunge into the deep blue and large pelagics patrol the currents. Vibrant coral gardens host dense schools of anthias, butterflyfish, and giant moray eels, while macro enthusiasts find nudibranchs and ghost pipefish hiding among the reef.

We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment — not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.
