1) Solitude and Adventure: Unlike other parts of the Red Sea, Sudan’s reefs are still relatively remote, and hence less exposed, offering privacy for divers. Andromeda’s crew works to avoid other dive boats on sites.

2) Experience: ­Andromeda has been visiting the ­Suakin Islands since 2010. Dive guides have discovered many new spots, which are scheduled only on ­Andromeda’s itinerary.

3) Access: It’s one of the only liveaboards offering two-week “Deep South” cruises. The Suakin Islands are definitely the place where divers want to spend as much time as possible. This two-week cruise offers up to six days in the deep south.

4) Service: The yacht offers plenty of space, great food and quality equipment.

5) Local Flavor: The fruit ­shishas — or water pipes — served in Andromeda’s ­Arabian salon, using fresh fruit heads are fabulous.
