¿What is exactly a “Liveaboard”?

A liveaboard is, as its name indicates, a trip in which everything is lived and done on a boat; In our case, diving, sleeping and eating (a lot!), basically.

There are different types of liveaboards all over the world, and they are a perfect option for lovers of diving, surfing or any other aquatic modality who want to have a more complete and authentic experience and, of course, and in our case, dive in remote places. where you couldn’t reach on a day trip.

The liveaboard is scheduled for the dates of March 15th to 22nd 2024, and we may add a few days before or after with some activity in the area! (quads, beach daytrips, etc.).

🧭 El itinerario

The Reef&Wrecks northern route offers us a unique experience that combines the exploration of vibrant coral reefs with the fascination of shipwrecks, including the famous SS Thistlegorm. The diversity of marine life is also impressive, making this route an unforgettable experience for any diver!

It is one of our favorites itineraries because of its variety, the dives it offers (we will do up to 21 dives!), the incredible wrecks that we will explore and the amount of marine and reef life that is seen! 🐠🐡🦈🐙🐟

The main diving spots will be the following: Abu Nuhas, Straits of Gubal, SS Thistlegorm, Ras Mohamed, Straits of Tiran, Ulysses and others

🚢 Our Boat

One of the most important aspects for a liveaboard to go well and to fully enjoy it is that the place where we “live” for a week is comfortable and functional.

In our case, we will have the Emperor Superior for ourselves, a 37-meter-long super-boat and one of the best in the fleet that, in addition, was fully refurbished in 2022 (so we will have it practically brand new!!) 😍

The boat is ready to accommodate up to 26 divers in very comfortable rooms, with air conditioning and everything you need to feel comfortable and rest after the dives. The main floor has a large dining room where meals are served, and on the upper floor a living room where dive briefings are held and where there are sofas, books, documentaries, etc. At the bottom are the rooms and on the upper terrace there is a bar with tables and a gigantic deck with sun loungers where you can sunbathe or have a good snooze.

As for the meals and service, it’s just amazing; The menus are abundant and very varied and the staff is always attentive, smiling and helping you with whatever you need (even putting on your wetsuit or putting on your fins!).

Conocí a Kike hace un tiempo y alentada por su pasión por el buceo y su espíritu aventurero decidí apuntarme a este viaje prácticamente sin saber bucear. Los miedos e inseguridades se quedaron en tierra según puse un pie en el barco. Un ambiente súper cómodo y divertido, una tripulación centrada en ponerte todo fácil y hacer que te sintieras como en casa, y un 100% de ganas de pasarlo bien a todas horas. Los buceos además una auténtica locura, el Mar Rojo es simplemente impresionante. Ojalá poder dar marcha atrás en el tiempo para volver! Con ganas de repetir!! 🙂

Una experiencia increíble!! El buceo espectacular pero lo mejor ha sido compartir esta experiencia con las personas que estábamos en el barco, la verdad que hemos hecho muy buena piña! La comida brutal, kike muy majo y atento, Carlos un instructor increíble y una bellísima persona, los guías y la tripulación muy cercanos. Coincidió que era mi cumpleaños a bordo y lo celebramos todos juntos, me prepararon un pastel e incluso kike me regaló un detallito! No se puede pedir más! Repito seguro!!

Una experiencia de 10! Realice mi primer vida a bordo hace unas semanas y todo superó mis expectativas iniciales (que ya eran grandes, por lo que había oído de sus anteriores vidas a bordo). Súper buen grupo y genial trato y organización por parte de Kike, repetiría sin dudarlo!

Mi primera vez en un VidaBordo. Por aquí el comentario de una novata, que se inició en el buceo hace muy poco; motivada por un amigo para para apuntarnos a uno de los planes LONGIMANUS por la pinta que tenía todo. Y si ya tenia buena pinta en su página web, por mucho comentario que ponga… creo que es muy difícil transmitir con palabras lo vivido en una semana a bordo, TIENES QUE VIVIRLO! Ha pasado a mi TOP3 de viajes, y una experiencia que no voy a olvidar nunca. Ha superado con creces mis expectativas en un 200%. La dedicación y el cariño con lo que está organizado el VidaBordo es otro rollo. Todo gente joven, con ganas de pasarlo bien. A la tripulación del barco creo que les pongo un 11/10, no solo por su servicio, sino por sus sonrisas, amabilidad, buen ambiente y actitud! La comida es otra maravilla abordo, mucha variedad cada día, comidas locales y postres caseros cada día distintos. Todo esto es importante, pero yo me quedo con lo que hace aún más especial el viaje, LA GENTE, el buen rollo y las risas. Y además, hemos podido nadar con delfines, ver tiburones martillo, tortugas, bucear en cuevas, y disfrutar de los colores y maravillas del Mar Rojo. Un lujo!! Gracias Kike, Amir, Tiger, Carlos y Said, por hacerlo posible, por cuidarnos tanto y por tantas sonrisas, risas y carcajadas a bordo. Volveré seguro 🙂
