As one of the seven wonders of the underwater world, the Red Sea & Egypt offer scuba divers some of the world's most beautiful coral reefs, plentiful marine life, and a wide variety of diverse dive sites.  Liveaboards exploring the northern reaches generally depart from Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh and head northeast through the shallow lagoons of El Gouna and the Straits of Gubal to explore the renowned Abu Nuhas reef, known as the Red Seas' Ship Graveyard.

Due to little rainfall, high evaporation, and a relatively isolated location, the Red Sea has one of the world's highest rates of salinity. These same factors also provide excellent diving conditions. Furthermore, the Red Sea has few river tributaries feeding into it, which means limited microalgae allowing excellent visibility.  

Taking in the classic North and the legendary Brother Islands, we will dive spectacular drop offs, famous wrecks, and stunning reefs - giving us the chance to enjoy the best of the North and the Brothers Marine Park! 

The Blue Horizon Liveaboard
The award-winning M/Y Blue Horizon is Blue O Two's flagship fleet vessel and the benchmark for all other Blue O Two vessels to follow. With a contemporary and stylish feel, M/Y Blue Horizon takes Red Sea liveaboard diving to a whole new level and is truly deserving of the title 'Best Liveaboard' in the Sport Diver awards, as well as 'Liveaboard of the Year' awarded by DIVER magazine.
With a large dining area, a totally separate sky lounge with a state-of-the-art entertainment system, a shaded deck area, and a sun deck, there is always space to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Red Sea. All cabins benefit from air conditioning, en suite facilities, mini refrigerators, and in-cabin entertainment.
M/Y Blue Horizon is equipped with a nitrox membrane and can also cater for rebreather and technical divers, upon request and subject to availability.

Elphinstone

A Red Sea legend, this isolated, long, finger-shaped reef, lies in open ocean 12 kilometres offshore between Port Ghalib and Marsa Alam. Due to its location and exposed nature currents are to be expected, which are often strong and can be unpredictable, but with them come rich rewards. With north and south plateaus covered in hard and soft corals and stunning walls reaching depths of 40+ metres, diving here can be challenging and exhilarating. Grey reef sharks and Napoleon wrasses are regularly spotted in the summer, and occasionally Scalloped Hammerheads and oceanic whitetip sharks often congregate in vast numbers during late autumn.
