MY Cassiopeia dive boat review
Cassiopeia: an earlier Red Sea chapter
This is an archive of the older Cassiopeia’s Red Sea operations. LiveAboard.com now lists Cassiopeia under Mexico and identifies its former Socorro Aggressor name. The listing has no online availability when checked on 2 November 2026.
Do not confuse this boat with Cassiopeia Glory. The photographs, earlier itineraries and visitor reports on this page do not describe a current Glory departure.
The boat as the earlier review described it
The original account described a forty-metre boat with thirteen cabins for twenty-six guests. Its Red Sea programme included northern wrecks, offshore marine parks and southern reefs, with older mentions of Sudan. Those destinations belong to the boat’s history here; they are not current departure offers.
The dive deck and platform had access ladders, a toilet, a camera table and rinse tanks. Two tenders supported the diving, and the old review listed nitrox and personal diver locators. Equipment and safety arrangements would need fresh confirmation for any later operation.
Between dives, guests could relax in the air-conditioned salon or on partially shaded sun decks. The earlier account described an Arabian-style café, a restaurant and bar, buffet meals combining local and international food, and a library of books, films and games. Internet and a satellite telephone also appeared in the old facilities list.

Questions about the Cassiopeia name
Does this page describe Cassiopeia Glory?
No. It preserves the earlier Cassiopeia review. Use Glory’s own vessel details and departure documents for a Glory booking.
Is Cassiopeia currently available in Mexico?
The partner lists it under Mexico and notes the former Socorro Aggressor name, but has no online availability. A listing alone is not a confirmed departure.
Can I use the old Red Sea fare or itinerary?
No. The historic schedule and inclusions are not a current quotation for Egypt, Mexico or another vessel.
