Diving:

The shaded dive deck on the All Star Scuba Scene is spacious and has everything a diver needs. In addition to ample room for equipment storage, there’s a large table for cameras and computers to dry out. There are freshwater hoses and two rinse tanks, as well as two open-air showers for rinsing off after dives.

Diving is done from two tenders, which transport guests to the dive sites. Up to four dives are offered each day during Red Sea liveaboard trips, with the last dive on the penultimate day at around 1 pm.

This Red Sea liveaboard’s dive team is led by skilled instructors and dive masters who are all passionate about protecting the marine environment. A range of courses are available onboard, including Advanced Open Water and Tec 50 training. A full line of scuba gear can be rented with prior notification, along with some technical diving accessories. Not only is the All Star Scuba Scene rebreather-friendly but it offers nitrox and side-mounted pony tanks.

Red Sea itineraries include explorations of Northern Egypt and Tiran, as well as Central and South Egypt, with a mixture of overhangs, walls, wrecks, and drift dives. Aside from thrilling encounters with hammerhead sharks, you may be treated to sightings of manta rays, rare nudibranchs, and long-nosed hawkfish. Shark weeks take place in late spring/early summer and fall, with everything from whitetips to grey reef and threshers spotted.

While you can dive throughout the year in the Red Sea, the best times to visit are generally considered to be March to May and September to November. The All Star Scuba Scene takes a break in January and February when temperatures are at their chilliest.

Water temperatures in the Red Sea range from around 74°to 84°F (23°to 29°C), depending on the time of year. Most divers are comfortable in a 3mm wetsuit during the warmer months but you may prefer a 5mm or even a 7mm during cooler periods.
