MV Tala

MV Tala is a 37-meter steel liveaboard operated by Red Sea Explorers, based at Hurghada Marina in Egypt. Built for both adventure and performance, she has earned a reputation for combining comfort, reliability and serious technical diving capability in a single sleek vessel. Up to 22 guests are accommodated across 11 air-conditioned cabins with private bathrooms, alongside spacious lounges, shaded outdoor areas and a sun deck for the hours between dives.

Diving with MV Tala

The diving setup is where this boat really distinguishes itself. As a PADI dive boat offering enriched air (Nitrox), she is equipped for Trimix, rebreathers and gas blending, with ample storage, scooters and support for extended-range dives — a genuine option for divers who want to push beyond recreational limits.

Itineraries cover the Red Sea's most iconic routes, including the Brothers Islands, Daedalus, Elphinstone, St. John's, Zabargad and Rocky Island, mixing pelagic encounters, colourful reefs and historic wrecks. A battery charging station and fish ID and diving books round out the practical touches, and the crew works in English and Arabic. Best suited to divers who value exploration as much as comfort.
