Andromeda

Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda Andromeda

Andromeda, the 5-star diving safari liveaboard, was built based on a unique design, meeting divers’ and guests’ every need. Spacious, tastefully decorated cabins with en-suite bathrooms, a roomy diningroom, salon and sun deck make the 1-week diving safari comfortable for everyone. The heart of the boat is the shisha room, reminiscent of the East where stories can be told every night in the shadow of the lingering delicious waterpipe smoke. A well-travelled, cohesive crew, speaking various languages, awaits all the guests who wish to dive and relax.

Indoor areas

European Salon The spacious lounge area is air-conditioned and well equipped with an LCD TV, VCR, DVD and CD player and furnished according to European style. Arabian cafe The spacious room follows the original Oriental coffee shop design with shisha (waterpipe) smoking possibility, coffee, tea and original Arabic music.

Cabins

Every cabin is air-conditioned with hot-water shower, sink and toilet in the en-suite bathrooms and bed sheets and towel are provided for all our guests.

Outdoor areas

Sun deck The comfortable 100-square-metre sun deck provides plenty of space for sun seekers, as well as shaded area. Comfortable deck chairs and cushioned seats make time more pleasant. There is a smaller sun deck in front of the captain’s bridge. Covered deck In front of the salon is a comfortable open but covered area for resting and chatting between dives and in the evening.
