Contessa Mia boat Contessa Mia is part of the 'Divers Fleet' of luxury diving liveaboards. She is similar to the Dolce Vita and Excellence, which are the other two 'Divers Fleet' boats.  

Contessa Mia was launched in July 2006. She measures 34m length and 7.5m width, and has three decks as well as an uppermost sundeck. The superior design of this twin-engine wooden vessel, makes it an excellent choice to discover the Red Sea in maximum comfort and safety.

The boat accommodates a maximum of 20 guests in ten twin cabins. 8 cabins are situated on the lower deck and 2 on the main deck. All cabins have en-suite bathrooms with private toilet and shower, and all cabins have individual air-conditioning controls. Cabins are arranged with beds side-by-side.

   

Above: the spacious teak dive deck.
 

On the main deck there is a spacious saloon area with a large TV, DVD player, and audio system. This area is for relaxing after diving or for socialising in the evening. The rear of the main deck is the large dive deck & 4m long dive platform - loads of space for kitting up.

On the upper deck there is a superb separate dining room, with 360 degree sea views from the windows. This is the perfect place to enjoy your meal and to socialise while having a drink, watching TV or just viewing the sea.

After having a meal you’re the most welcome to relax on the half-shaded sun deck with comfortable bamboo chairs.
The top deck is for those who are fond of sunbathing during the day and to count the stars in the evenings.

Diving facilities include two tenders (Zodiac style boats) with outbound motors, Nitrox compressor onboard as well as a very large dive deck and dive platform with teak wood decking.
