Sea Serpent Grand

Sea Serpent Grand is the Sea Serpent Fleet's technical flagship, a 44-metre wooden yacht carrying 28 guests in 14 cabins, two of them suites. The dive deck is the draw. It is built for mixed gas: oxygen, trimix and nitrox fills, plus a booster pump, ENOS surface-recovery and rebreather support, so advanced and mixed-gas divers get a platform most Red Sea cruisers do not run. The Grand rotates through the fleet's shared route pool rather than a fixed schedule. From Hurghada it runs the offshore Brothers, Daedalus and Elphinstone week, the Northern Reefs and Wrecks route, and the Northern Wrecks and Strait of Tiran week with summer hammerheads reported at Woodhouse. From Port Ghalib it heads south for St John's and Fury Shoals. The exact hull on any dated departure is confirmed at booking, so any site in the pool can appear on the Grand's rotation. Who does it suit? The offshore plateaus and southern reefs assume current-comfortable, experienced divers, while the northern wreck and Tiran weeks suit intermediate divers building experience. Pricing is all-inclusive with no hidden fees, and per-hull fares are quoted on request.

Grand draws divers who want a genuine technical platform rather than a recreational cruiser. The recurring appeal is the dive deck: trimix and nitrox fills, a booster pump, ENOS surface-recovery and rebreather support on a spacious wooden yacht, which mixed-gas and advanced divers rate as rare in the Red Sea. The Brothers, Daedalus and Elphinstone weeks are the marquee draw, with northern wrecks and Tiran for calmer-season trips and the southern reefs for variety. Expect a comfortable, well-run wooden hull with suites at the top end rather than a modern steel build. Experience is the recurring theme. The offshore plateaus and southern weeks reward current-comfortable divers, so buoyancy and blue-water composure matter.
