Diving on Captain Sparrow liveaboard
From spectacular wall dives featuring colorful corals to exhilarating drifts along thriving reef systems, the Red Sea offers an unparalleled diving experience. Wreck sites are steeped in history and shallow reefs teem with marine biodiversity.
Diving these sites from the Captain Sparrow takes place both from the main vessel and zodiacs, which offers access to more-remote dive sites inaccessible to larger boats. Itineraries vary among eight routes, each tailored to cater to different interests, whether it be diving, kiteboarding, snorkeling, or leisurely exploration.
With opportunities for up to three dives per day, divers can choose from renowned dive sites such as Brothers Islands, Daedalus, and what’s considered one of the best dive sites in the world—the SS Thistlegorm wreck.
Nitrox is included in the price and rental equipment is available at a surcharge. The boat is open for both charter and group bookings.
Highlights:
- Up to 16 dives per trip
- Marine life including frequent oceanic whitetip sharks
- Dive sites ranging from reefs to wrecks
