Argo Xplorer is a 42-meter steel yacht launched in September 2023, built for Red Sea diving with a focus on comfort and functionality. With a 13.5-knot cruising speed and advanced onboard systems, it offers a smooth and efficient journey for divers looking to explore Egypt’s well-known sites. The vessel accommodates guests in 13 cabins across two decks: the main deck features 8 twin-bed cabins and 2 double suites, while the upper deck includes a single cabin, one twin cabin, and an additional double suite. Each room is fitted with air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and a minibar.
Social areas on board are well-spaced and include an outdoor lounge with a bar, armchairs, beanbags, and shaded seating. The indoor salon is air-conditioned and equipped with a plasma screen, audio-visual systems, board games, and a library. A large 145m² sundeck offers open-air relaxation, while a shaded 85m² high deck and a 60m² unshaded area provide plenty of room to enjoy the views or unwind between dives.
Diving operations are supported by a dedicated launch platform, two deck showers, rinse tanks, and two 7.5-meter speed boats with ladders for safe and easy water access. The dive deck is equipped with 15L and 12L tanks in steel or aluminum, double and single DIN outputs, CCR and technical diving setups, and three Bauer compressors, including a Nitrox system with membrane.
Boat's include safety features such as oxygen supplies, first aid kits, fire alarms, life rafts, life jackets, and onboard cameras. Freshwater supply is ensured through two desalination units producing 10 tonnes daily. This Egypt liveaboard combines practical amenities with a well-considered layout, providing a reliable base for week-long dive itineraries through the Red Sea
