In order to preserve the "ABYSS difference", we have exclusively chartered a beautiful dive charter vessel that operates in the South of Egypt: the MY Reef Master.
Conscious of being unable to offer budget style tariffs, we have given greater importance to the comfort of our divers-photographers, boats with larger engines for longer crossings and more complete itineraries, all with impeccable service aboard.
Stemming from the latest generation of charter vessels for the Red Sea, the M/Y Reef Master is a luxurious motoryacht having a steel hull of 42 meters and a beam of 7. With sporty lines, large living spaces and modern equipment this boat meets the international protocol requirements for ICPPS (Convention for Prevention of Pollution from Ships). The motors and generators emit less CO2 into the atmosphere and release no used water at sea. The new generation desalination plant and additional stabilisers improve the performance of the vessel while reducing the consumption of energy.
Entirely conceived as a dive charter vessel, with attention to detail, she can make passage quickly thanks to her two 800 HP engines, welcoming 20 divers in 10 standard and superior cabins, all air-conditioned with private bathroom and toilets. On board comfort is optimised with a large saloon area offering LCD, Hifi, DVD, MP3, large dining room, a bar and sundecks. One desalination plant of 18m3/day provides adequate water. The dive deck is also spacious with numerous storage. Two dive tenders with 45 HP engines, 2 compressors, 260 l/min with Nitrox mixing station. Security on board is optimal with radar, GPS, chart plotter, depth sounder, VHF radio, satellite telephone, EPIRB life rafts and oxygen therapy kit.
