Bella 3

Along the Egyptian coastline, the arid desert landscape gives way to a marine world of profound color and life. The Red Sea’s unique geology, a product of tectonic rifting, has created an underwater environment of dramatic walls, deep canyons, and extensive fringing reef systems that support an incredible density of fish. These nutrient-rich waters attract significant populations of pelagic species, while the region's maritime history has left behind a collection of celebrated shipwrecks that now function as thriving artificial reefs. The Bella 3 is a modern liveaboard designed specifically to navigate these waters, providing a stable and well-equipped base for exploring this dynamic ecosystem for groups of up to twenty divers. Dive operations are organized for efficiency and comfort. The vessel features a spacious, shaded scuba deck with individual gear stations and freshwater rinse tanks for post-dive equipment care. All dives are conducted from two motorized tenders, allowing for precise drop-offs on specific points of a reef or wreck, regardless of mooring availability. Certified divers can benefit from nitrox, which is available onboard to extend bottom times on the Red Sea's vibrant, multi-level sites. A team of experienced local guides leads all underwater excursions, ensuring divers are safely guided to the most interesting features and marine life encounters at each location. Life aboard the Bella 3 centers on relaxation and social comfort in the time between dives. The vessel’s ten guest cabins are distributed across three decks, offering twin and double configurations, each complete with a private ensuite bathroom and air conditioning. For communal relaxation, guests can choose from several areas. Inside, a main lounge and a separate, cooled interior salon provide quiet spaces to read or review photos. Outside, multiple decks offer varied options, from a primary sun deck for direct sun to a shaded terrace with soft seating and an open-air lounge bar for evening socializing. The onboard culinary program is designed to support an active diving schedule with satisfying and freshly prepared meals. The chef creates a rotating menu of international and local dishes, emphasizing variety and quality ingredients. All meals are typically served in a communal dining area, providing a great opportunity for guests to share stories from the day's dives. Snacks and a selection of hot and cold beverages are available throughout the day. The galley team is also prepared to handle common dietary requirements, which can be accommodated with advance notification. The Bella 3 is a 32-meter motor yacht with a wide 7.9-meter beam, providing a solid and comfortable platform. Originally constructed in 2017, the vessel undergoes a complete refurbishment every year, ensuring all systems and guest facilities are maintained to a high standard. It is powered by two engines, providing redundant reliability and a steady cruising speed of 7 knots for transit between dive areas. The vessel’s modern build and substantial size contribute to its stability both at anchor and during crossings, ensuring a restful environment for all guests onboard. Itineraries are run year-round, focusing on the classic Red Sea routes that encompass the region’s most famous wrecks and reef systems. Depending on the chosen trip, you may explore the northern sites or venture south to more remote locations known for sharks and pristine corals. Departures and returns are scheduled from Egypt's primary Red Sea ports. The Bella 3 is well-suited for divers of varying experience levels who are looking for a reliable, comfortable, and professionally operated liveaboard to experience the definitive highlights of Egyptian diving.
