Aboard Tillis, Guests can choose from lower and top twin single cabins or the 3 honeymoon suites with double beds, mini-bars and entertainment system.

The staff are very friendly and helpful; guests will feel pampered with the daily housekeeping, exquisite food and highly experienced dive guides.
Tillis operates a variety of unique itineraries around the South Red Sea, the most popular of which is the “Daedalus, Fury Shoals & Elphinstone – Shark Triangle” route through the South Red Sea Region.
That said, althoguh Tillis is best known for operating trips to the South Red Sea and being one of the cheapest liveaboards to do so, at certain times of year this liveaboard also goes up to the North Red Sea which is famous for many incredible shipwrecks and beginner friendly dive sites.
