	Blue Horizon was completed in July 2006 and is one of the biggest Red Sea live-aboards, at a length of 41 metres, and also one of the best! All guest cabins are air-conditioned with bathroom/shower en-suite as well as having a TV with DVD/CD player and mini-bar in each cabin.


Enabling Disabled Divers... A superior element of the liveaboard is its access for disabled divers. Blue Horizon has been built with disabled divers in mind, with wider gangways, 4 designated larger cabins, generously proportioned bathrooms and a spacious dive deck, allowing for easier access to the water.


	The upper deck on M/Y Blue Horizon comprises an indoor saloon area with comfy sofas, bar and a huge 42" plasma screen TV. This is a pleasant and comfortable area for relaxing, watching movies and sharing a drink after an exciting days diving. This saloon can also double up as a 2nd teaching area. To the rear of the upper deck, a further sundeck creates a sunbathing area. The front of the upper deck is the location of the bridge and the outdoor freshwater Jacuzzi.

	The middle deck on M/Y Blue Horizon forms the main saloon and dining area, as well as being the location of 4 of the master king-size suites. A large dining table and a 34" Plasma Screen TV provide a luxurious dining and entertainment area. These Suites boast a king-size bed, A/C, en-suite bathroom, mini bar, 21" TV, AV In/Out and DVD player. These rooms are fully user friendly for disabled divers.

	All of the cabins on Blue Horizon are en-suite. One of the Master Cabins, located on the middle deck. These cabins all have en-suite bathrooms, A/C, mini bar, 21" TV, AV In/Out and DVD player. These rooms are fully user friendly for disabled divers.

	The Lower Deck is the main cabin area, holding 9 twin cabins and 1 single cabin for the divemaster, all well equipped with A/C, en-suite bathrooms, mini bar and a personal entertainment system including LCD Screen, AV In/Out & DVD Player. Most cabins have 2 side by side beds (not bunk beds), while several have full size double beds for couples (and honeymooners!) Unlimited supplies of hot and cold running water are available 24 hours and there is an innovative personally operated air-conditioning system in each cabin.
