LIVEABOARD FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my partner/family and/or my friends come along?

Non-divers are welcome on board all liveaboards, but the cost is the same whether you dive or not. All amenities are available to divers and non-divers, and non-diving guests may if they wish to snorkel when the captain/crew allows. Please note that in some areas the conditions are not suitable for snorkeling which is why there may be restrictions on this activity.

Transfers - How do I get to my boat once I've arrived?

Scuba Travel works with very professional companies that arrange meet & greets and transfers.

After you collect your luggage, our representative will escort you either to your transfer or all the way to the boat, and provide you with important information you may need. When it's time to leave your liveaboard, our representative will be there to take you to the airport, or to your hotel if you have booked this. Then you will also receive information about when your transfer back to the airport leaves on the day of your return journey.

In Egypt, Scuba Travel has a representative who will meet you at the airport, help you with visas and further through passport control.
