Blue Force 2 Red Sea: Cabins, Routes & Costs | Divezone

Step aboard Blue Force 2

← Previous1 / 6Next →

The boat measures 28 m by 7 m. Blue Force Fleet says it was completely rebuilt in March 2019. Its current Egyptian programme concentrates on the northern Red Sea, with Sharm el Sheikh as the starting and finishing point. Choose it for that combination of wrecks, reef walls and a relatively small guest group.

Lower deck or windows upstairs?

The upper deck is the natural starting point if daylight matters to you. All cabins are twins: ask about sharing arrangements or the single-occupancy supplement if travelling alone.

Life between dives

The main deck has an air-conditioned living and dining area, with sofas and a television for slower moments after diving. Two outdoor sun areas, at the bow and higher up, give you somewhere to stretch out with a book or enjoy the changing view. On a boat of this size, the atmosphere is likely to matter more than a long list of luxury facilities.

Meals are buffet-style. The operator describes a changing selection of vegetables, chicken, beef, fish, salads, rice, pasta and fruit, with eggs, cereal and yoghurt among the breakfast choices. Snacks fill the gaps between dives; drinking water, tea and coffee are available through the day. Discuss vegetarian meals and other dietary needs when booking, especially where allergies require more than simply leaving out an ingredient.

Coming with a non-diving partner?

Snorkelling is mentioned in the operator’s onboard information; non-diver acceptance, fares and suitable stops need confirmation for the chosen departure.

Diving from Blue Force 2

Two tenders support the diving programme. The operator lists three dive guides, aluminium S80 cylinders with DIN/INT fittings, and both air and Nitrox. Bring your certification and insurance details. Rental equipment should be requested at least 15 days ahead; the pre-trip information calls for a dive computer, surface marker buoy and a torch for night dives.

Advanced certification is recommended on the route pages. Ask the team to assess your experience against the actual programme, particularly for current, deeper wreck visits and entries from tenders. A northern itinerary can include demanding dives even when other stops feel straightforward.

North or Extended North?

Both programmes start and finish in Sharm el Sheikh. North includes seven nights aboard and five diving days. Extended North adds a sixth diving day, followed by a hotel night: its eight-night package comprises seven nights aboard and one night in a Sharm hotel on half board.

The markers show the destinations named in each operator programme. They do not prescribe a sailing order: the published descriptions leave the sequence to the departure plan and conditions.

Tiran is represented by Jackson Reef and Ras Mohammed by Shark and Yolanda on the map. These are location references, not a guarantee of an individual dive site. Weather, permits, diver experience and the skipper’s programme determine the final stops.

Main dive-site locations

Thistlegorm and Kingston supply the wreck interest; Ras Mohammed and Tiran bring reef walls and fish life. Small Crack and the Dunraven area extend the mix around the Strait of Gubal. Coordinates are based on the Egyptian Chamber of Diving and Watersports site directory.

A glimpse of the northern route

Blue Force Fleet presents this June 2018 trip film with its North itinerary. It offers a historical glimpse of the diving, before the boat’s March 2019 rebuild. The cover is an illustrative boat photograph.

Budget beyond the cabin fare

Compare the dated cabin quote with the extra charges below. The operator’s 2026 route pages list these amounts per person; reconfirm them with the booking confirmation.

Full board aboard, water, tea and coffee, the guided dive programme, air fills, a standard cylinder and weights are included in the operator programme. Extended North also includes the final hotel’s half-board arrangement. Transfers follow the operator’s scheduled group arrangements; check your own flights against those times.

Allow separately for flights, entry requirements, rental equipment, alcoholic drinks, personal spending and any extra hotel nights. Check the cover and exclusions of any included insurance against your needs. A cabin upgrade, sole occupancy or a private transfer can change the total even when the advertised trip price looks similar.

Arriving in Sharm el Sheikh

Sharm el Sheikh airport is the relevant gateway. The operator’s pre-trip information names Travco Marina, with boarding on Saturday evening and disembarkation on the following Saturday morning. On Extended North, guests then move to the included hotel before departing on Sunday. Use the final joining instructions for the marina, transfer and exact times; they should also establish your last dive before you book the flight home.

What guests loved — and what could be better

Food and the crew’s approach recur in the dated guest accounts below. The more critical feedback is narrower: one guest raised a cabin maintenance issue, which is worth separating from the otherwise positive comments about the trip.

These are individual guest accounts, not a new Divezone inspection. Route, cabin and travel date help explain why two guests may describe the same boat differently.
