The itinerary in detail

Whirlwind was launched in May 2006 and is the latest addition to the Tornado Marine Fleets expanding "family". Tornado Marine Fleet are the owners and builders of the award winning Hurricane, Typhoon and Cyclone. One glance at Whirlwind and her impressive design and use of space proves that yet again Tornado Marine Fleet are the pioneers in building boats within the Red Sea.

First impression of Whirlwind is that of comfort and space. All the outer areas are teak laid with the upper sun-deck almost the entire length of the boat. Along with a jacuzzi /spa there is ample room for sun bathers and those seeking shaded areas. Leading down from the upper sun deck is another level known as the cocktail deck. Ideal for briefings and sundowners this area has plenty of whicker tables and chairs to enjoy lunch, dinner or the odd post dive drink.

The dive deck offers up spectacular amount of space, enough for the whole boat to comfortably kit up.
The impressive saloon area is well equipped with comfortable chairs and tables, plasma screen, DVD, a multi channel sound system, juice and hot drink station and of course the popular licensed bar making this an ideal spot to relax in the evening. The Saloon leads out onto the cocktail deck, so whatever the weather there is somewhere to relax after a long days diving.
Below the Saloon is the dining area which is reached by an attractive spiral stair case or from the dive deck. Circular tables offer up more space and create the ambience of a large continental cafe.

There are plenty of charging facilities throughout the boat including each cabin. All cabins are en-suite with individually controlled A/C. The design of the en-suites allow for more comfort as they incorporate a separate shower from the other facilities. All cabins are twin cabins allowing for 20 guests with 3 cabins on the main deck and the rest below deck.

The latest Iridium Satellite communications system provides facilities for guests to use both telephone and email.

Why Whirlwind? The latest boat from the award winning fleet; Whirlwind surpasses all other Red Sea boats. With space and comfort a prerequisite, spectacular branding and elegant design the bar has yet again been raised to measure luxurious red sea liveaboards. If you are a Recreational or Technicial diver, this boat is for you. Twin tanks and re-breather diving is welcome. This boat is not only luxurious but has been designed by people who really know Liveaboard diving.

TDI and PSA Technical Courses can be taught during this week. Plus many PADI Courses. Please call.
