MY Rosetta dive boat review
MY Rosetta: current departures need confirmation
Updated 24 October 2026. A PADI listing still describes MY Rosetta, but no current dated departure or fare was verified in this review. This does not establish that the boat has ceased operating. Confirm the operator, vessel, departure dates, cabin layout and full price before making travel arrangements.
The earlier Divezone account below gives 33 metres and eighteen guests in nine cabins. The PADI profile gives 31 metres, a 1999 build and a 2015 overhaul. These older descriptions do not resolve the current dimensions or condition; request an up-to-date specification.
Use the Red Sea diving guide to compare areas while you check availability.
