Suite Cabin
Two suites sit on the upper deck and form the premium tier. Each one measures about 3.70 meters with a 170 cm bed, oversized windows and panoramic sea views. Therefore, they suit couples or guests who want extra space and privacy.
The Ramadan 3 liveaboard is a 40-meter Red Sea safari boat built for comfortable diving weeks and long-range exploration in Egypt. Moreover, she departs directly from Hurghada throughout the year.
Furthermore, the vessel hosts a maximum of 26 guests in 13 private, air-conditioned cabins. In addition, the open layout keeps the dive deck, the restaurant and the outdoor areas generously sized rather than cramped.
Originally launched in 2012 and completely upgraded in 2026, the boat combines proven cruise performance with modern refinements designed for divers. As a result, guests travel on a current interior with a reliable hull underneath.
Finally, the vessel runs Red Sea itineraries that may reach northern wrecks, offshore marine parks and remote southern reef systems. Naturally, the exact program depends on the selected route, weather conditions and official permissions.
Every cabin is en-suite with a private bathroom. In addition, each one has individual climate control and smart storage.
A cosy indoor lounge holds the briefing and entertainment space. Meanwhile, it also works as a cool retreat during the afternoon.
Fresh daily meals and snacks come from the onboard galley. Moreover, a dedicated bar serves hot and soft refreshments all day.
An expansive main sun deck runs along the vessel. In addition, an elevated upper observation area gives a second, quieter outdoor space.
Dedicated gear stations, storage areas and tank racks keep the deck organized. As a result, freshwater rinse tanks and tender boarding stay within easy reach.
Emergency equipment and a trained crew are on board at all times. Furthermore, detailed briefings run before every dive and every sailing.
The Ramadan 3 liveaboard was designed so guests move easily between diving and resting. Therefore, nothing feels improvised during a busy week at sea.
Every section of the open layout is tailored to maximize relaxation between excursions. Furthermore, the restaurant, the salon and the outdoor decks each get real space rather than narrow corridors.
After the last dive of the day, guests can settle into the salon, take the shaded seating on the sun deck or move up to the relaxation area on the upper deck. Meanwhile, the crew resets the dive deck for the following morning.
Consequently, the boat suits experienced divers, dive clubs, underwater photographers and travelers joining a Red Sea safari for the first time. In short, she works for a full charter and for individual bookings alike.
The deck plan below shows how the Ramadan 3 liveaboard is arranged across her four decks. Specifically, it runs from the twin cabins on the lower deck up to the two suites and the open-air relaxation area on the upper deck.
The Ramadan 3 liveaboard sleeps up to 26 guests in 13 private cabins. Because proper rest matters as much as time in the water, every cabin is a fully air-conditioned haven with its own bathroom.
Two suites sit on the upper deck and form the premium tier. Each one measures about 3.70 meters with a 170 cm bed, oversized windows and panoramic sea views. Therefore, they suit couples or guests who want extra space and privacy.
Three sea view cabins sit on the main deck, right beside the salon and dining areas. Their position brings in natural daylight and keeps movement around the boat effortless. As a result, they suit guests who prefer to avoid stairs between decks.
Eight twin cabins occupy the lower deck, each with two single beds in a practical layout. Consequently, they work well for dive partners, friends travelling together and solo travelers sharing. Moreover, the lower-deck position stays quiet and stable overnight.
Between dives, the vessel works as a floating base camp. In addition, every communal area is designed so surface intervals feel as good as the diving, whether you want company or a quiet corner.
Good food fuels the dive day. Meanwhile, the onboard kitchen serves fresh meals timed around the diving schedule: a hearty breakfast, a mid-day refuel between sessions and a relaxed dinner service.
Above all, guests should report allergies or special dietary needs before arrival, so arrangements can be made with the boat team in advance.
To escape the midday sun, the climate-controlled salon offers comfortable sofas and modern media facilities. Specifically, it works for dive briefings, photo reviews, chatting with the guides or simply sharing a quiet coffee.
Consequently, the salon becomes the social core of the boat on warm Red Sea afternoons.
The main sun deck blends open loungers with deep-shaded seating. In addition, it gives you total flexibility, whether you want to dry off after a dive, socialize with friends or rest under a clear desert sky.
The elevated upper deck holds a wide, open-air relaxation zone with the refreshment bar close by. As a result, guests use it for sunbathing, reading, watching for dolphins and, after dark, stargazing over the Egyptian coastline.
The dive deck sits on the main deck and is arranged for safe, organized diving operations. Specifically, the layout provides practical space for:
Before each dive, the team gives a site briefing covering the dive plan, maximum depth, currents, entry and exit procedures, marine life and emergency signals.
However, the final diving program always depends on the itinerary, diver experience, sea conditions, weather, official permissions and the captain’s safety decision.
The vessel strictly follows modern Red Sea liveaboard safety criteria. For this reason, she carries current navigation, communication and emergency equipment alongside a trained crew and professional dive guides.
The boat carries a complete set of emergency equipment. Moreover, every item is checked and maintained before departure.
Equipment alone is not enough. Therefore, the crew works to a documented plan and briefs every guest before the trip begins.
All guests must attend the boat safety briefing and follow the instructions of the captain, cruise director, guides and crew. Furthermore, divers must carry the certification, experience and insurance required for their route.
The Ramadan 3 liveaboard can operate all eight of Egypt’s best-known itineraries. However, the precise route and sequence of dive sites may change according to the departure port, weather, wind, currents, guest experience, marine park regulations and official approval. Additionally, further background on Egyptian safari itineraries is available at redsealiveaboard.net.

Meanwhile, the number of dives varies with the route, sea conditions, arrival times and official regulations. Overall, a typical week offers:
No Red Sea itinerary should be treated as a fixed list of guaranteed dive sites. In addition, the captain and dive team may change the route because of wind, waves, current, visibility, marine regulations, port instructions, diver experience or safety considerations. Safety always takes priority over the planned itinerary.
A maximum of 26 guests creates a practical group size while keeping a friendly atmosphere onboard. For instance, northern itineraries suit a broader range of qualified divers, whereas offshore routes such as BDE, Brothers, Daedalus and Elba generally require more experience.
Above all, Red Sea Diving should confirm the final requirements before booking, because they vary by route and by current regulations.
