Nine twins and two upper-deck doubles

All cabins have individually controlled air-conditioning and private bathrooms; towels and bathrobes are supplied. The operator confirms 34 metres in length, 7.5 metres in beam, a wooden hull and four decks. The partner lists construction in 2003 and renovation in 2024; the operator’s checked page does not date that refit, so treat it as a partner-reported date.

Request the actual cabin number and a written sole-occupancy or sharing offer. A gallery image labelled as a main-deck suite is not, by itself, proof of a separately bookable suite category.

Life between dives

The air-conditioned salon provides indoor dining and lounge space, while two partially shaded sun decks offer places to relax outside. There are charging points and a separate rinse for underwater cameras. Internet is advertised, but coverage at offshore sites should not be assumed.

The operator includes water, standard soft drinks, tea and instant coffee, and charges for alcohol, sparkling water and Nespresso capsules. Vegetarian, vegan and other dietary needs can be discussed in advance. The published safety procedure includes a boat briefing, fire drill and round-the-clock deck watch; ask the crew to show you the exits and emergency arrangements on arrival.

Nine programmes in the checked operator calendar

With the calendar expanded to one hundred rows, the operator displayed forty-two Sea Serpent departures from 31 October 2026 through 23 October 2027. The following examples cover its nine distinct programme names. Some departures are planned, some confirmed and some full; none of those labels guarantees that conditions will allow every listed dive.

Select programme areas

The layers locate the named areas and selected reef or wreck references. They are not day-by-day sailing tracks or promises to dive each marker. St John’s and Fury Shoals contain many sites; the selected points do not exhaust those areas. Ports are geographic references, not assigned berths.

Dive-site references

The separate map helps place the principal reef and wreck areas. Obtain the detailed operator programme for your week.

Diving requirements and equipment

The operator requires certification and a medical form. Its recreational rules specify non-decompression diving, a maximum depth of forty metres and no night dives in marine parks; your training and the conditions may impose a shallower limit. Ask for the logged-dive and recent-experience threshold for the selected offshore route.

Nitrox is free for certified nitrox divers. Bring your computer, surface marker buoy, regulator with alternate air source and the other equipment listed by the operator. Rental requests should be made at least two weeks before departure. Technical or rebreather support requires a specific advance agreement and should not be assumed from the boat’s equipment list.

The operator describes three or four dives per day depending on the route. Actual opportunities depend on sea conditions, permissions and the guides’ assessment.

A €1,199 cruise subtotal for a dated southern week

For 28 November–5 December 2026, Rocky–Zabargad–St John’s, Port Ghalib return, the partner’s cabin-selection screen showed these shared-occupancy fares on 24 October 2026. Its boat page listed a compulsory €200 park charge per person.

The lower twins showed five places and the upper double two; the upper twin was full. The €50 upgrade compares the same week, currency and shared occupancy. These are dated advertised subtotals, not live quotes.

The operator calendar displayed €1,199 as its starting figure for the same departure. Do not add the partner’s €200 charge to an operator quote without checking that quote’s inclusions. Flights, entry arrangements, insurance, equipment, extra drinks and optional gratuities are outside the comparison. Full board, standard drinks, diving, nitrox and eligible transfers are included in the checked partner listing.

Ports, transfers and boarding

Sea Serpent uses both Hurghada and Port Ghalib. Most checked southern departures return to Port Ghalib, but repositioning weeks can finish at a different port. Confirm both ends before booking flights.

The operator states check-in from 17:00 and check-out by 10:00. The first night is normally in port; the final night may be on the boat or in a hotel according to the schedule. Ask for the pickup details and planned final dive time; the operator advises allowing twenty-four hours before the flight home.
