From the Fire a Sea Legend is Born!
Last month we reported the unfortunate fire that took hold and ultimately destroyed the luxury Red Sea liveaboard, Scuba Scene. Thankfully none of the crew and the 19 passengers were injured and were looked after with 5* hotel accommodation and a generous allowance to purchase some essentials and clothes.
Sadly Scuba Scene now lies off the coast of Hurghada…
The managers of Scuba Scene have been searching the Red Sea to find a suitable replacement. Thankfully less than a month since Scuba Scene sank they have taken on M/Y Sea Legend, a liveaboard that offers the same high quality experience.
They are also adding a few of their own touches that made a holiday on Scuba Scene so special: two high powered ribs with ladders and equipment racks; the chefs that serve up sensational restaurant quality food; washer/dryer and warm towels in the winter to name but a few. Of course, the trips wouldn’t be the same without their managers and guides Elke and Ahmed.
Elke Bojanowski aka ‘The Shark Lady’, and owner of the Red Sea Shark Trust will continue with her famous ‘Red Sea Shark Weeks’ and Ahmed Fadel continues to surprise people with his knowledge of the wrecks and reefs of the Red Sea (and dive maps), as well as his Tec Weeks and training.
Passengers who were previously booked on Scuba Scene have been transferred to Sea Legend on the same dates. The Scuba Scene Team is confident that they can maintain the same high standards and deliver holidays that will be as good, if not better than on Scuba Scene.
Oyster Diving Holidays have recommenced bookings on Scuba Scene’s ‘Sea Legend’ and anyone wanting more information can visit their website: www.oysterdiving.com/trip/scuba-scene-sea-legend-red-sea-egypt/
