Description
The new boat Andromeda was completed in 2009. She is similarly a 40m long steel liveaboard with 2 powerful engines and stabilisers for a comfortable diving trip.
Andromeda, the 5-star diving safari liveaboard, was built based on a unique design, meeting divers’ and guests’ every need. There are 13 en-suite double cabins with twin and queen-bed accommodations. The spacious, elegantly designed cabins are perfect for relaxing and there is plenty of storage space for all the equipment.
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 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. The spacious room follows the original Oriental coffee shop design with shisha (waterpipe) smoking possibility, coffee, tea and original Arabic music.
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.
Spacious, tastefully decorated cabins with en-suite bathrooms, a roomy diningroom, salon and sun deck make the 1-week diving safari comfortable for everyone.
A well-travelled, cohesive crew, speaking various languages, awaits all the guests who wish to dive and relax.
See you onboard!
