Okeanos Xplorer’s On-board Facilities
The dive boat was built in a way that maximizes the space of the communal areas. Indeed, you will find lots of space to hang out, both inside and outside. First, the main deck is home to a large restaurant-like dining room and a salon with full entertainment unit. Of course, air-conditioning is available throughout the dive boat’s interiors.
Furthermore, as you get on the upper deck, you will notice the over sized outdoor lounge. In a shaded, yet open air area, the lounge features tables and cozy couches. Plus, the very top deck is a entire area for sun loungers and star gazers. The Red Sea‘s ever changing view will sure look good from up there.
