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.

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!
