About this itinerary

The remote and pristine sites of Rocky, Zabargad, and St Johns have a diverse marine ecosystem teeming with colorful coral formations and a rich variety of marine life. Divers can encounter vibrant coral gardens, schools of tropical fish, and the chance to spot larger species like sharks, turtles, and rays. With the addition of Fury Shoals and Elphinstone, the clear waters and relatively untouched environment make these sites a paradise for liveaboard divers, offering some of the Red Sea's most memorable diving experiences.

This was my first liveaboard, and it was outstanding!!! I cannot say enough about every member of the crew and how they took care of us. I cannot wait to join them again for my next adventure.

I recently spent a week on the Blue Melody liveaboard and it was an unforgettable experience for me. The crew was incredibly friendly always helpful and professional.  They all created a warm and welcoming atmosphere on board. The food was absolutely delicious: Fresh, varied and plentiful. I did not expect this. The boat itself was well-equipped and comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing and successful dive trip.  Overall, great diving, great service, and great people, what more could you ask for?

Great liveaboard, the boat is very nice and clean! The crew is always available and smiling, a big special thank you to Jamal and Karmal who took care to make us happy on board and to Mustafa and Mahmoud for their good food. The dives are great and the dive masters very professional, the equipment was suitable and in good condition.

Thank you to the whole team.
