A floating dive center

Stretch out on the sun deck's loungers, or head to the second outdoor lounge at the bow for some shade in the ocean breeze.

The MV Nouran is fully equipped with underwater scooters, an unlimited selection of tanks and all other essential dive gear. Safety is the crew's top priority and its members are trained to manage emergency situations. The boat is equipped with first aid kits, life vests, and emergency rafts.

Ports of departure and how to get there

Egypt trips

Most visitors will arrive in Cairo and take an hour-long hour domestic flight with Egypt Air to their port of departure, although some of the more popular ports such as Marsa Alam, Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh have direct International flights too. 

Ports for every trip are detailed in the itinerary section. The departure and return ports can vary depending on the dates chosen. In some cases the boats are moored at the port and depart the day after the trip begins, so you can arrive quite late on the first day of the tour and still board the boat before it departs the following morning.

Sudan trips

There are direct flights to Port Sudan from Cairo and Khartoum. Khartoum has direct flights from many cities in Africa and the Middle East, so most visitors arrive via Egypt.
