The Hurricane was constructed in May 2004. She is the latest and most advanced Red Sea Liveaboard. Her 36m steel construction gives a large and stable platform from which to explore the whole of the Egyptian Red Sea.

Cabins: The cabins all have spacious en suite bathrooms and contain a small fridge and safety deposit box. They boast A/C with individual controls and a unique circulating fresh air system. Lighting and music are controlled from the bedside.

Saloon, Dining and Sun Decks: The restaurant is situated on the main deck and creates an elegant, relaxed ambience in which to enjoy the excellent cuisine. On the bridge deck you will find a stylish saloon and bar, as well as a comfortable lounge area with stereo, CD/DVD and a plasma screen for viewing the day's footage or enjoying a movie. You will find a peaceful oasis on one of our several sundecks, while the cocktail deck provides a shady haven. All outside areas have teak decking.

Diving: The large dive platform allows you to kit up in safety and comfort. Diving is managed by Grant & Sonia who have many years experience in the Southern Red Sea. Every effort has been made to make diving comfortable and enjoyable. Divers are ferried to the drop zone in two 5.5 RIBs. Compressed air and Nitrox are available and tanks are filled in situ. For photographers, we offer rinse tanks, camera tables and air drying facilities. Standard services include video hire and video editing, E6 processing and re-breather hire and training.


Safety Equipment & Navigation: Hurricane has a remarkable inventory of navigation and safety equipment to meet all requirements. Her powerful engines and stable hull allow her to make speedy and comfortable overnight passages between the remote southern sites to give optimum time for diving during the day.

Hurricane combines the passion of divers with the precision of a design team who really know liveaboard diving. The result is a luxurious, comfortable and practical liveaboard boat. With our top dive team and excellent food Hurricane provides the ultimate Red Sea adventure.
