About Sea Serpent Contessa
The 34m Sea Serpent Contessa sails the Red Sea year-round from Egypt, offering a luxurious base for divers exploring one of the world's most celebrated diving regions. Built in 2008, this 36m custom-built vessel carries up to 24 divers across 12 spacious cabins, each fitted with air conditioning and an en-suite bathroom.
Routes and diving
Departing from Hurghada and Port Ghalib, the itineraries reach famous sites including Abu Nuhas, Shark and Yolanda, Ras Mohammed, The Brothers, Gordon Reef, Jackson Reef, the Straits of Tiran, Woodhouse Reef and Fury Shoal. The northern route combines the four legendary wrecks of Abu Nuhas — the Ships' Graveyard, whose scenic wrecks are cloaked in coral and superb for photography — with the breathtaking walls of Ras Mohammed National Park at the tip of Sinai.
On board, comfort matches the diving. A dining area offers 360-degree views, while a spacious dive platform handles gear storage. Nitrox is available free, alongside a shaded dive area, camera station, sun deck and air-conditioned saloon for relaxed days between dives.
