Highlights

Choice of 3 dive itineraries
Dives at world-famous wreck sites
Opportunities for drift diving and big fish action

Completely renovated in 2019, the MY Sunlight liveaboard is a 34m yacht offering year-round Red Sea dive safaris. She caters to 20 guests in 10 modest cabins, each with single and double beds, individually controlled air-conditioning, and private ensuite bathrooms. The indoor salon and dining room feature air-conditioning, comfortable sofas, and a drink station. A large, partially covered sunbathing area and an outdoor lounge are on the upper deck. The perfect place to hang out with your new dive buddies to swap dive stories at the end of the day.

Located at the stern of the boat is a large dive deck with rinse tanks, storage space, and a platform for easy entry into the 2 zodiacs or straight into the water. Divers can choose 3 itineraries, the North Route, South Route, and Deep South Route, aboard the M/Y Sunlight. The North Route is perfect for wreck lovers with dives as the world-famous SS Thistlegorm, Rosalie Muller, and Carnatic, as well as reef dives at Ras Mohammed National Park & Tiran. The Southern Red Sea route offers amazing drift diving and big fish action at the Brothers, Elphinstone, and Daedalus. For the more adventurous, the Deep South Route explores that little bit further to St. Johns for pristine diving and stops at Rocky, Zabargad, and Elphinstone.

Whichever route you choose, the crew of the MY Sunlight liveaboard is on hand to show you the fantastic dive sites of the Red Sea. Book online today to reserve your space.

First liveaboard experience
It was my first liveaboard experience, and I would definitely choose the Sunlight again. The atmosphere on board was fantastic, both among the divers and the crew. I was really impressed by the quality of the food; every meal was fresh, varied, and delicious. The chefs did an outstanding job, and Mahmud took great care of us throughout the trip. We did the southern route, and although the dives were beautiful, I was a little disappointed by the marine life. I was expecting to see more sharks, especially since we travelled in mid-October, which is supposed to be a good season for them.

Brilliant liveaboard experience!
The chef is a wizard! The food was really amazing! Diving is beautiful and the guides are very knowledgeable. Cabins are comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Such a good price for a perfect trip! The boat is mostly Russians so it is sometimes hard to fit in. Would be nice to have a variety of nationalities. Other than that, I cannot fault this trip. Perfect!
