Aldebaran Review

With two family cabins capable of sleeping three, a friendly and dedicated crew as well as excellent social areas Aldebaran is ideal for families or groups of friends travelling together. 

Because she visits the pristine, current prone central and southern regions of Egypt’s Red Sea, she is ideal for advanced divers. 

Great for: Families, Groups of Friends, Couples, Advanced Divers

Trip Lengths: 8 days

Max Group Size: 20

Operates: March – October

On the main deck there is a bright indoor salon with plush furniture, a video & audio entertainment system and a library. 

This leads through to the dining room with the drinks station and coffee/ tea making facilities. 

Located on the upper deck is a covered outdoor lounge area and open sundeck; this leads up to the sky deck with yet more loungers and gorgeous views to be had.  

At the rear of the boat is the large dive deck with individual storage baskets, wetsuit hangers and camera set up table. 

This leads down to the spacious dive platform for effortless entry and exit on to the boat.

There are 6 deluxe double cabins, 2 triple cabins and 2 suites. Each cabin features an ensuite bathroom, AC and mini-bar. 

Aldebaran explores some of the very best dive sites in Egypts’ Red Sea.

You can witness the remote deep south of St. Johns, the stunning walls and wreck diving of the Brother islands and if you’re lucky up to 8 shark species at Daedalus reef.

Hi, I’m Alex.

I’m the creator of Diving Squad, a scuba diving travel blog shaped by a five-year odyssey spent diving and drifting through Southeast Asia, Latin America, and parts of Europe.

In 2023, I landed in Panglao, Bohol — and loved it so much I ended up staying. I’ve been based here ever since, working as a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor, guiding dives and teaching courses, while continuing to build Diving Squad.

When I’m not in the water, I’m usually editing underwater photos and footage, planning the next trip, or cruising around Bohol — but never for long before the reefs pull me back.
