Egypt has a very hot and dry climate that allows you to wear only shorts and a T-shirt most of the year during the daytime.

The south, due to its major proximity to the equator, is even warmer than the better-known areas in the north, say Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh.

Summer season starts, in April, after a couple of weeks of strong north winds that indicate the ending of winter.

The sea level starts getting lower and currents run southwards as a general rule. Summertime extends till the end of October or the beginning of November when strong south winds and the only rain of the year break the routine of mild north winds that predominate during the summer.

Also the direction of the currents changes and now eventually run north, while the sea level gets higher from then on.

During the winter, temperatures drop drastically at night, making advisable the use of a jacket or a sweater. Therefore, the best time of the year to be there spans from March through November, when you will be able to dive with a 3 mm full suit but some people prefer diving in this period with 5 mm In July and August some people are diving with shorties, it depends on how everybody tolerates the different temperatures.

A double 5 mm will be necessary for the rest of the year.

The atmosphere onboard the Royal Evolution is always relaxed and casual. You’ll spend your days in bathing suits and casual wear. Bring shorts or jeans, T-shirts and a windbreaker. Also bring a hat, suntan lotion (non-oil) and sunglasses. In winter, a sweatshirt or sweater is advisable.

The live-aboard business is a service industry, and although the general public is seldom aware of it, gratuities are a major part of a crewmember’s salary. Few other recreational activities rely so heavily upon the professionals in charge of your enjoyment and safety. A gratuity of 10% is customary, but many leave more when they feel the service was outstanding. If you are disappointed with the service, you should inform the Captain of your feelings right away so he may rectify the situation. Leave no more gratuity than you feel is right.

Currently, there are two full-service hyperbaric chambers located in Hurghada that are prepared to manage diving-related accidents. In addition, there are chambers in Sharm el Sheikh, El Gouna and Marsa Alam.

Divers will have the opportunity to do up to 4 dives a day, including night dives, as long as weather or itinerary is not a factor.

Yes, please note that all the participants joining any itineraries/trips which include any of the offshore islands must be at least advanced divers certified with a minimum of 50 Dives logged on their logbook.

Yes. Nitrox is available onboard. Nitrox is 32% up to 40%. If you are not Nitrox certified, our dive instructors will be pleased to accomplish this on board.

If you do not have your own equipment, we have “top of the line” BCD, wetsuits, dive lights, and regulators with octopus and gauges available for rent. All rentals must be arranged prior to departure.

Between fall and spring, a wetsuit is recommended. The chart below will give you a general idea of the water temperatures and what weight wetsuit you will need. When deciding which wetsuit works for you, consider that you will have the opportunity to dive as many as five times a day and it takes your body a while to warm up. Wetsuit needs are different for everyone. A general guideline follows.

The authorities of each country are getting used to this kind of trips, at the beginning (first two trips) the authorities in both countries were very strict as they were not used to this kind of trips & getting confused to treat the permission as a diving trip or passenger ship doing a short international voyage between two countries with passengers. Then things are getting smoother & became more flexible, on each trip now we feel that the permissions procedures & time are getting shorter than before.

No one is going out of the boat in Port Sudan, we’re staying onboard this couple of hours as all the authorities are visiting us onboard to finish the immigration procedures so no need to go out of the boat.

The distance from Port Ghaleb to Port Sudan is approximately 450 Nautical Miles.

Yes of course, a lot of care has been taken into consideration before & during building the Royal Evolution regarding the sound insulation in the engine room & the cabins. The most advanced marine technology has been used to reduce the sound to the maximum, even our main powerful propulsion engines are set on shock absorber mounts with a flexible coupling to reduce the noise to the maximum.

We are doing approx 39 dives including night dives during the13 nights Sudan trip. Three day dives & one night dive every day except the second day of the trip we do only one morning dive & the third day of the trip (arrival day to Port Sudan) we are doing two or one day dives & one or two night dives.

Yes, we can supply 100% O2 up to 200Bar, and we can also rent for you the Buddy tanks if you do not want to carry them from home, just we need to be advised two weeks before the trip.

Our permanent instructors will be pleased to offer you any courses you would like to take during your dive holiday.

Not often. If you have roaming and can link with Vodaphone networks then your phone will work around the Port Sudan area. And not much further. Just around the border we pick up a network for about an hour.

Yes we have a satellite phone. Only 2 euros a minute which is almost the cost & probably cheaper than your mobile, it works everywhere all the time.

Egypt has a very hot and dry climate that allows you to wear only shorts and a T-shirt most of the year during the daytime.

The south, due to its major proximity to the equator, is even warmer than the better-known areas in the north, say Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh.

Summer season starts, in April, after a couple of weeks of strong north winds that indicate the ending of winter.

The sea level starts getting lower and currents run southwards as a general rule. Summertime extends till the end of October or the beginning of November when strong south winds and the only rain of the year break the routine of mild north winds that predominate during the summer.

Also the direction of the currents changes and now eventually run north, while the sea level gets higher from then on.

During the winter, temperatures drop drastically at night, making advisable the use of a jacket or a sweater. Therefore, the best time of the year to be there spans from March through November, when you will be able to dive with a 3 mm full suit but some people prefer diving in this period with 5 mm In July and August some people are diving with shorties, it depends on how everybody tolerates the different temperatures.

A double 5 mm will be necessary for the rest of the year.

The atmosphere onboard the Royal Evolution is always relaxed and casual. You’ll spend your days in bathing suits and casual wear. Bring shorts or jeans, T-shirts and a windbreaker. Also bring a hat, suntan lotion (non-oil) and sunglasses. In winter, a sweatshirt or sweater is advisable.

The live-aboard business is a service industry, and although the general public is seldom aware of it, gratuities are a major part of a crewmember’s salary. Few other recreational activities rely so heavily upon the professionals in charge of your enjoyment and safety. A gratuity of 10% is customary, but many leave more when they feel the service was outstanding. If you are disappointed with the service, you should inform the Captain of your feelings right away so he may rectify the situation. Leave no more gratuity than you feel is right.

We do accept VISA, Master Card & Jsb credit cards on board but we are sorry that we cannot accept traveler checks.

Currently, there are two full-service hyperbaric chambers located in Hurghada that are prepared to manage diving-related accidents. In addition, there are chambers in Sharm el Sheikh, El Gouna and Marsa Alam.

Yes, please note that all the participants joining any itineraries/trips which include any of the offshore islands must be at least advanced divers certified with a minimum of 50 Dives logged on their logbook.

Yes. Nitrox is available onboard. Nitrox is 32% up to 40%. If you are not Nitrox certified, our dive instructors will be pleased to accomplish this on board.

Between fall and spring, a wetsuit is recommended. The chart below will give you a general idea of the water temperatures and what weight wetsuit you will need. When deciding which wetsuit works for you, consider that you will have the opportunity to dive as many as five times a day and it takes your body a while to warm up. Wetsuit needs are different for everyone. A general guideline follows.

The authorities of each country are getting used to this kind of trips, at the beginning (first two trips) the authorities in both countries were very strict as they were not used to this kind of trips & getting confused to treat the permission as a diving trip or passenger ship doing a short international voyage between two countries with passengers. Then things are getting smoother & became more flexible, on each trip now we feel that the permissions procedures & time are getting shorter than before.

No one is going out of the boat in Port Sudan, we’re staying onboard this couple of hours as all the authorities are visiting us onboard to finish the immigration procedures so no need to go out of the boat.

The distance from Port Ghaleb to Port Sudan is approximately 450 Nautical Miles.

Yes of course, a lot of care has been taken into consideration before & during building the Royal Evolution regarding the sound insulation in the engine room & the cabins. The most advanced marine technology has been used to reduce the sound to the maximum, even our main powerful propulsion engines are set on shock absorber mounts with a flexible coupling to reduce the noise to the maximum.

We are doing approx 39 dives including night dives during the13 nights Sudan trip. Three day dives & one night dive every day except the second day of the trip we do only one morning dive & the third day of the trip (arrival day to Port Sudan) we are doing two or one day dives & one or two night dives.

Yes, we can supply 100% O2 up to 200Bar, and we can also rent for you the Buddy tanks if you do not want to carry them from home, just we need to be advised two weeks before the trip.

Our permanent instructors will be pleased to offer you any courses you would like to take during your dive holiday.
