Asmaa, in detail

Overview of Asmaa

Refurbished in January 2015, Asmaa accommodates 20 divers in 10 twin-berth cabins (4 x Upper Deck), each ensuite with individual air conditioning. Designed with the diver in mind Asmaa has a large dive deck and sun deck. NITROX is free subject to availability. Asmaa offers genuine value for money for divers looking to dive some of the Southern Egyptian Red Sea's great dive sites.

Accommodation aboard Asmaa

Emperor Asmaa has ten twin-berth cabins, all en-suite with individual air conditioning with two towels per guest. The Lower deck has 6 twin beds (beds side by side). On the Upper deck there are a further 4 twins. 
 
In the saloon you will find a TV, a DVD, CD's and Video's. There is a good sized air conditioned dining room.

Drink & Dine

There is a good sized air conditioned dining room. 
 
The meals onboard are usually served buffet style with a variety of meat, chicken, fish, pasta, rice and vegetable dishes served with a choice of salads. Fresh fruit is available throughout the day. Water, soft drinks, tea and coffee are complimentary and available 24 hours. Chocolate is available onboard, at additional charge, but feel free to bring your favourite après-dive snack as these may be hard to come by in Egypt. 
 
Beer & wine are available onboard stock, paid locally, but guests are welcome to bring their own alcohol onboard.
Guests will not be permitted to dive after consuming alcohol or under the influence of a hangover as this seriously impairs your judgment and increases your risk of decompression sickness. If the guides deem that you are unfit to dive you will be asked to sit out the dive. Your safety and well being are paramount so this request by the dive guides will only be made to avoid accidents. 
 
For any special dietary requests, such as vegetarian meals, please inform us at time of booking and mention it to the crew on boarding Asmaa.
