DIVE THE WORLD NO LONGER PROMOTES THE OBSESSION.

PLEASE SELECT ANOTHER OPTION.

Obsession, at 33 metres long and with 4 decks, has earned its reputation through a meticulous combination of everything that makes a liveaboard great.

Operating from Marsa Alam, Obsession is finished with teak decks and the interiors and the dive deck are carefully planned with the liveaboard diver in mind, including nitrox facilities. Combined with a hull-design that effortlessly negotiates the waters to get scuba divers from one site to the next in speed, luxury and comfort, it's easy to see why diving trips in Egypt with the Obsession are such a pleasure.

The cabins on board Obsession feature either twin or double berths and each cabin has individually controlled air-conditioning with en-suite facilities, ensuring that feeling of privacy remains.

The common areas include the cool, airy and spacious saloon, which is equipped with the latest entertainment facilities in the form of a big-screen TV, DVD player, free 3G Wi-Fi, and a music centre to while away your time in between dives. The boat also features and open-air dining area and ample sun-deck and shaded spaces from which to enjoy the Red Sea scenery and sea air.
