Voted Liveaboard of the Year by the British Diving public for 3 years in a row, Whirlwind takes pride of place at the front of the award winning Tornado Marine Fleet. She is the result of many years working with divers and it shows. The approach is professional and the quality is unsurpassed. Launched in May 2006, Whirlwind certainly knows how to make a great first impression.

The signature design with split level dining room and saloon optimises the already generous space on board this 36m vessel. Light and airy, all 10 cabins are twin beds, en-suite with air con and have a safe box. The saloon area is ample with welcoming sofas, tables, plasma screen, DVD, a multi channel sound system, juice and hot drink station and of course the popular bar. The expansive upper sundeck runs almost the entire length of the boat whilst the lower sundeck is a perfect spot to sit back in and relax. Whirlwind is fully enabled for rebreather diving.

The Wrecks and Reefs itinerary is ideal for anyone new to the Red Sea. This itinerary hits all the key spots in the North, and then some. The Get Wrecked itinerary is the best way to visit the full volume of 19th and 20th C wrecks including Thistlegorm and Abu Nuhas. For a trip with broader scope, try a Brothers Wrecks Special that fits in Abu Nuhas, the Brothers, Safaga, Gubal and Thistlegorm. Whirlwind stands out from the crowd on any reef and the dedicated team know how to ensure that no aspect of your trip, no matter how small, goes unattended.
