Diving is conducted with an onboard dive team and follows a structured daily schedule.

Boat Interior

Built in Rashid, Snefro Target combines comfort and functionality. The main deck salon invites guests to relax with plush sofas, polished wood flooring, and a central music system, while the upper deck lounge offers more privacy.

The dining area serves buffet-style meals, including Egyptian and international cuisine, with vegetarian and special dietary options on request. Snacks, fruit, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and water are available throughout the day.

Three sun decks, partly shaded or open, allow for sunbathing, relaxing, or enjoying the Red Sea sunset.

Dive Deck

The dive deck provides spacious and efficient facilities, including fresh-water showers, two bathrooms, and wide areas for gearing up. Two air compressors and the Nitrox system are located below deck and operate silently. Nitrox is free for certified divers, with air quality checks following EN12021:1998 standards.

Safety

For safety, Snefro Target is equipped with life jackets, life rafts (2 x 25-person), fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, fire alarm system, first aid kit, and oxygen (demand & free flow). Navigation equipment includes GPS, chart plotter, radar, echo sounder, EPIRB, HF radio, and VHF radio, all meeting international standards. ISO certification and Chamber of Diving and Watersports membership ensure compliance with diving safety protocols.

Itineraries

Departing from Sharm El Sheikh (New Marina, El Wataneya), Snefro Target covers the full Red Sea. Mini Safaris include Tiran, Ras Mohamed, and Dahab, while longer safaris include Sinai Classic, Sinai Wreck & Reef, and Deep North Marine Park.

Dive sites include banana reefs, finger reefs, sand banks, offshore seamounts, and historic wrecks, with reef sharks, turtles, eagle rays, and colorful macro species.

When to Go

The northern Red Sea region around Sharm El Sheikh, including Ras Mohammed National Park, the Strait of Tiran, and Sinai wreck and reef routes, offers reliable diving conditions throughout the year. Water temperatures generally range from 22–28°C, with visibility typically good across seasons depending on weather and sea conditions.

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are commonly preferred periods for liveaboard diving in this area, offering stable conditions that are well-suited to exploring the region’s reefs, wrecks, and offshore dive sites.

Good byt not great
The divesites are beautiful, both corals and fishes!! Red Sea is amazing! The boat is nice but a bit dated and needs an update. The aircon is on or off, no adjustments, and “on” sounds like an industry fan. The beds are pretty hard but if you don’t have back problems you’ll sleep anyway. If you want Wi-Fi I recommend you to buy an Egypt SIM and if you book a double cabin or master suite you should not expect the minibar with a fridge, or actually no minibar at all, that is to find on the booking sites . The fridges don’t work. But the food is nice, the boat boys are really helpful and everything is super clean! I had a double cabin and had my cabin cleaned and bed made between each dives. My aircon stopped working halfway into the trip and I got to move to a twin cabin but will get some kind of refund for that and that is good.

Liveaboard during Covid-19
The crew at Snefro went the extra mile to be one of the only vessel sailing during these complex times. Assuring that as well as just the diving we were able to be safe on the vessel. All the required safety measures were in place and they did not interfere in our enjoyment in any away. The Fact that Egypt currently required a completed PCR - Test on arrival was actually comforting know all guest were negative. It was very clear that Snefro team have been running vessels for years as the level of professionalism was outstanding and they held them to different standard than many of the other Egypt vessels. Excellent Guides who have diving safety as a priority as well as our enjoyment of the trip. We made the most of the Covid-19 situation and were often the only boat at very popular sites. Highly recommended

Program

Stony and soft corals
Schooling barracuda, jackfish, tuna
Famous wrecks
Sharks are common here

Day 1:
Meet & greet at the airport. Group transfer to the port. Onboarding, meeting the crew & briefing.

Day 2-7: 
Morning: sail to nearby Temple or Ras Katy for a check dive. The week-long safari will cover the area from the Strait of Tiran, Ras Mohamed National Park and the Gulf of Suez which is usual visited first.
The National Park begins at the small bay of Marsa Ghazlani followed by the larger and deeper bay of Marsa Bareika. Continuing along the coast to Ras Za’atar, Jackfish Alley, Eel Garden and Shark Observatory, to the southern end of the peninsula with Anemone City, Shark Reef, and Yolanda Reef and ending at the Quay. Because of the geographic position, this is a privileged area distinguished to strong massive currents that transport large quantities of plankton and other food that give rise to an extraordinary growth of stony and soft corals and attract large schools of both reef and pelagic marine fauna, over a thousand species in all. Schooling barracuda, jackfish, tuna and many kinds of sharks swim in these deep blue waters, especially in summer from June to August, sometimes early September.
The safari will also take you to famous sites like the wrecks of Dunraven and Thistlegorm, Shag Rock and the wreck of Kingston, sail to Sha’ab Ali where pods of dolphins are common, explore several spots at Sha’ab Mahmouds reef system.
Don’t miss the four famous reefs in the Strait of Tiran: Jackson, Thomas, Woodhouse and Gordon Reef, probably the most interesting and richest in marine life. You can choose from several dive sites with superb wall and drift diving. In the afternoon of the 7th day, the boat will return to Sharm area.

Day 7,8:   
Depending on your check out and flight time return to New Marina (El Wataneya) port and disembark. Transfer to airport or hotel.
