Overview

  • Brand-new expertly-designed vessel with plenty of style and luxury
  • Themed dive cruises focussed on marine biology, tech diving and families
  • Extensive facilities for both recreational and technical divers
  • European instructors certified through FFESSM, CMAS, PADI and SDI/TDI

Brand-new to the Diving Attitude fleet, Altair flies its operator’s flag with pride, guaranteeing the same attention to detail and standards of service that discerning guests have come to expect. Sharing its name with the brightest star in the Aquila constellation, Altair is bigger and bolder than its siblings, promising plenty of comfort and luxuries - including a pastry chef and Jacuzzi. But best of all, Altair continues to champion the fleet’s “dive as you like” ethos, ensuring divers can create the trip of their dreams. No matter if you’re a recreational or technical diver; travelling with friends or on your own; and regardless of whether you want to sit back and relax or challenge yourself - there will always be something for you on board Altair.

Vessel

Vessel information

Meaning ‘flying eagle’ in Arabic, Altair takes its name from the brightest star in the constellation of Aquila, and was also the name of the boat in which the French adventurer, Henry de Monfreid, travelled the Red Sea. Designed by expert naval architects from Insenaval, this brand-new vessel upholds international standards for safety and stability, whilst delivering its own distinct character and an atmosphere of luxurious conviviality. Catering to dedicated divers, Altair offers nine itineraries and special themed expeditions throughout the Red Sea. Lasting between seven to ten-days, these action-packed voyages visit a wide range of diving destinations throughout Egypt’s north, central and southern coast, and beyond into Sudan.

Diving Attitude was created in 1996 with the objective of offering the best possible diving trips, far removed from the mass-market diving centres on land. After years of organising diving trips with chartered boats, the Dive Attitude team decided to begin building their own yachts, capitalising on their extensive experience and making sure all details on board were thought-out through a diver’s eyes. As the newest vessel in the fleet, Altair upholds Diving Attitude’s commitment to letting guests dive however they like, offering an unparalleled spectrum of facilities, services and experiences - including extensive technical training and equipment rental.

Onboard Altair

Like the rest of Diving Attitude’s fleet, Altair’s culinary team consists of a head chef, pastry chef, and kitchen assistant, who serve delicious meals throughout the day in the main dining area below deck. Refreshments such as espresso coffee, hand-crafted cocktails, and draft beer are also available. The air-conditioned salon can be found on the upper deck, and comes with an 80-inch flat screen TV, sound system, and a multimedia station. An open-air aft deck and bar area provides a space for afternoon lounging and lively evening entertainment, while the sky deck boasts banquet tables for alfresco dining, luxurious day beds, and a sumptuous Jacuzzi for a post-dive soak.

Diving from Altair

Diving Attitude’s commitment to letting guests ‘dive the way they like’ means Altair is well-prepared for almost any request. Recreational diving, DPV scooters, sidemount set-ups, and even solo diving can all be accommodated. And, as a member of Technical Diving International, this vessel is also equipped to provide a wide range of technical diving training and services on board - including equipment rental and deco diving, as well as complimentary dive planning and gas blending. Divers on board Altair will also benefit from a spacious, well-designed dive deck with individual set-up space and dedicated areas for rebreathers, sidemount divers and tech divers, as well as two 7.5 metre zodiacs.


Top tips

  • Exocet offers regular theme cruises focused on marine biology, technical diving, rebreather diving, Aqualung equipment testing, or family-friendly experiences.
  • Diving Attitude is a partner of Aqualung, ensuring rental equipment is replaced frequently.
  • WiFi is available on several of the less remote safaris, where the boat remains close to the coast.
