With Scuba Travel’s ATOL protection and the option of regional UK departures, arranging a Red Sea diving holiday is straightforward and convenient.
Luxurious Accommodation
The Ghazala Adventure accommodates guests in 12 cabins, including three luxurious suites. The lower deck features five spacious twin cabins and one double suite, while the upper deck offers four twin cabins and two elegant twin or double suites. Every cabin is air-conditioned, has an en-suite bathroom, and is supplied with towels and dressing gowns. Cabin preferences can be requested at the time of booking.
Spacious and Stable Design
One of the Ghazala Adventure’s standout features is its impressive beam, providing excellent stability while creating additional space throughout the vessel, including the interior, dive deck and dive platform.
Modern and Comfortable Interiors
The interior is bright, spacious and contemporary, with a large saloon and dining area providing the perfect place to relax between dives. Guests who prefer spending time outdoors can enjoy the upper deck bar area with music, while the top deck offers generous seating and tables for al fresco dining. Tea and coffee-making facilities are available on both the upper and top decks, along with sun loungers and beanbags for relaxing in the sun.
Delicious Dining
Three carefully prepared buffet-style meals are served each day, along with fruit smoothies and snacks after dives. Most dietary requirements and food allergies can be accommodated, provided Scuba Travel is informed in advance. The upper and fly decks feature four separate outdoor seating areas, offering plenty of space to relax, enjoy the sunshine or take in the spectacular sea views.
Dive Deck and Facilities
The spacious saloon leads directly onto a large, well-equipped dive deck where guests can prepare comfortably for each dive. Facilities include a charging station, a dedicated camera room with table, and rinse tanks on the dive deck. There are typically three dive guides on board, maintaining an approximate guide-to-diver ratio of 1:8. Air and recreational nitrox are provided free of charge. Diving operations are conducted from two large zodiacs equipped with stable ladders for easy entry and exit. Specialist cylinders, gas fills and PADI courses should be booked in advance. Please note that rebreather diving is not available.
The Ghazala Adventure offers an exceptional way to experience the spectacular diving of the Red Sea.
What to Bring
Summer temperatures can be very warm, so hats, sunglasses and eco-friendly sunscreen are recommended. During the winter months, evenings can be cool, making warm clothing and a beanie advisable.
The Red Sea – A Year-Round Destination
The Red Sea offers superb diving throughout the year, with crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life, making it suitable for both novice and experienced divers.

Mid-Summer (July to August):
Although air temperatures are hot, the sea breeze aboard the liveaboard provides welcome relief.

Testimonials
“After spending a week on the Ghazala Adventure, they truly have the slogan right — “Your Home at Sea.” The food was amazing, and the guides, Reda, Halmosh & Zizo, were truly fantastic throughout the trip. The accommodation was good overall. My only small comment would be that the bed was not quite as soft as I would have liked and could have done with one more pillow, but honestly, after each day of diving, I was so tired it hardly mattered! One of my favourite parts of the trip was diving the Salam Express wreck and the Rosalie Moller, as I had never dived either of these before. An unforgettable experience and definitely a trip I would recommend to any diver.”

“I have been on this boat and its sister ship, Ghazala Explorer, a few times now, and I am never disappointed and very happy to recommend both. Met at the airport, transferred to the boat and greeted with smiles and friendliness. Well-fitted-out boat to a high standard and kept that way throughout the trip. Excellent boat safety briefing and a practice as well, just in case!! Cabins spacious, with plenty of storage, and cleaned each day. Dive deck spacious and all crew able to help with anything you might need, even with putting your wetsuit on and taking it off. Dive guides excellent, with lots of knowledge of the dive sites and full briefings. Food is top quality, very tasty and varied. All of the crew, Captain, Dive Guides, deck crew, and kitchen and salon crew are all so friendly and so helpful, and really make you feel welcome and at home. Love this fleet.”

“The accommodation was excellent, comfortable, warm and spacious. The food was faultless. Hotel standard. How they put together what the chefs did in such an environment is beyond me. Absolutely delicious. The guides were also excellent. Good natured, funny and there to help. Couldn’t find a single fault. I’m looking at the feasibility of going back next year.”
