32 m · 20 guests · 10 cabins
Bella 3 is a 32-metre yacht in the Bella Liveaboards fleet, working out of Sharm El Sheikh. She was built in 2020 and refitted in 2023; ten cabins across three decks take up to 20 guests. Bella 3 specialises in short 3- and 4-night trips around the northern Sinai: the SS Thistlegorm, the SS Dunraven, Ras Mohammed National Park and the reefs of the Strait of Tiran. Departures leave Landmark Marina every five days from March to December; the boat takes January and February off.
The cabins are spread across the decks. Six twin cabins sit on the lower deck (nos. 5–10), two more with a sea-view window on the dive deck (nos. 3–4), and two double cabins above the salon on the upper deck (nos. 1–2). Every cabin has individually controlled air conditioning, a private en-suite bathroom with a shower, Wi-Fi, towels, a bathrobe and shower gel. Shampoo, hair conditioner and hairdryers are not provided on board — bring your own.
The public spaces occupy three levels. The dive deck holds the restaurant for 20 and the working area itself: a shaded platform with tank racks, gear crates, rinse tanks and a camera table, with the dive platform stepping down to the water below. The middle deck has the air-conditioned salon with sofas and a TV, the bar and a large open lounge with padded benches. Above that are the sun deck with loungers and a bow seating area under a slatted canopy.
Diving runs at three dives a day plus a night dive where weather and mooring allow: the operator plans 14 dives on a 4-night trip and up to 18 over a week. Two zodiacs run divers out to the further sites; most dives go straight off the stern platform. Twelve-litre tanks, weights and air fills are included in the fare; nitrox and 15-litre tanks are charged extra.
The crew speaks English, Italian, Arabic and Russian. The standard route is sold from Advanced Open Water level and the operator recommends at least 20 logged dives; on the week-long Sinai North Classic that requirement is firm.

On Board
Diving on board
The operator sells the standard Thistlegorm — Dunraven — Ras Mohammed — Tiran route from Advanced Open Water level; the week-long Sinai North Classic requires Advanced Open Water plus at least 20 logged dives. The contractual minimum is PADI Open Water Diver, and certification and logbook are checked on board. Insurance covering scuba diving, emergency evacuation and hyperbaric treatment is mandatory: proof must reach the operator no later than 7 days before departure. Under Egyptian CDWS rules dives stay within your certification and never below 40 metres; the route's normal working range is 18–30 metres. One guide is included per group of up to 12 divers, and the operator's stated working ratio is 8 divers per guide; an extra guide is charged separately. Rental gear is paid for on board.
Food and drinks
Alcohol is allowed on board but charged separately; diving after drinking is not permitted. Tell the operator about any dietary requirements when you book.

Schedule & Pricing
Thistlegorm, Dunraven, Ras Mohammed and Tiran — 5 days / 4 nights
Bella 3's signature short safari out of Sharm El Sheikh. Check-in at Landmark Marina from 18:00, a night alongside and an early departure. Day two starts with a check dive at Temple Reef, then Ras Mohammed National Park and the coral towers of The Alternatives. Day three belongs to the SS Thistlegorm: the first dive circles the wreck's exterior, the second goes into the holds with their motorcycles, trucks and railway wagons, then Small Passage and, if the mooring allows, a night dive in the lagoon. Day four covers the upturned Victorian steamer SS Dunraven, the famous Shark & Yolanda drift in Ras Mohammed and the crossing into the Strait of Tiran, with the night spent at Gordon. Day five is Jackson Reef and a final dive at Ras Nasrani, Ras Ghamila or Ras Bob, back at the marina around 13:00. Fourteen dives in all. The operator sells the route from Advanced Open Water level. Once a season Bella 3 runs the week-long Sinai North Classic with Abu Nuhas added — those departures usually sell out early or go to full charter.
