Where to book
Diving on Lewini liveaboard
Whether you’re drawn to historical shipwrecks or vibrant coral reefs, Lewini offers tailored itineraries to suit your preference. For those seeking thrilling underwater landscapes, canyons and swim-throughs await.
Dive depths typically range up to 65 feet (20 m), and diving primarily takes place from the back of the boat. Because the Red Sea can feature unpredictable currents, divers should carry personal SMBs.
Lewini offers a variety of unique Red Sea diving itineraries. The iconic Golden Triangle encompasses renowned sites like Brothers Islands and Daedalus Reef, or chose the Daedalus, Elphinstone & Fury Shoals (DEF) route for even more variety.
Lewini’s versatile itineraries cater to families with young snorkelers or divers as well as offering opportunities to swim with wild dolphins and discover beginner-friendly dive sites.
Depending on the trip, specific qualifications and experience levels may be required for certain dives. If you don’t feel qualified for a particular dive, PADI courses are available on board.
Nitrox is available free of charge for certified divers. Additionally, gear rental is available at a surcharge.
Highlights:
- Free nitrox
- Up to 18 dives per trip
- Marine life including frequent pelagics and dolphins
- Dive sites including walls, wrecks, canyons, and gorgonian gardens
