Royal Emperor was the first, high specification, steel boat to operate in the Sudan. In 2005 Tornado Marine bought the well loved Red Sea liveaboard Royal Emperor and proceeded to upgrade her layout and equipment bringing her into line with the fleet’s standards. Built in 1998 to RINA Class, her range and speed will allow us to open up new dive sites in the area.

The well designed saloon/dining room is fully air-conditioned. This is where you’ll find the fully stocked bar, entertainment system with TV, DVD & video and a selection of books, magazines and DVD/video films. The upper sundeck, with sunbeds, chairs and a BBQ grill, has been enlarged providing plenty of space both in and out of the sun.

Accommodation includes two twin cabins on the main deck and a further six on the lower deck. All are ensuite with individually controlled air-conditioning and loads of storage. The dive deck has also been opened up to offer plenty more kitting up space. New membrane compressors have been fitted to provide unlimited Nitrox. O2 can be pumped to 200bar and 15Litre and pony’s cylinders are available for hire. There is a good sized dive platform but most diving is from the RIBs.

Why Royal Emperor?
Much loved among British Divers, Royal Emperor offers a comfortable platform to explore the Sudan’s remote reefs.
