Tauchsport Gläßer is once again organizing a sensational liveaboard trip aboard the OMNEIA Soul. We’ll visit the Thistlegorm, the Rosalie Moller, and the wrecks of Abu Nuhas, which offer the perfect contrast to the famous drop-offs of Ras Mohammed and the Strait of Tiran—a great mix of wreck and reef dives.With the Soul, Moni and her team are blazing a new trail while still following in the footsteps of the past: She brings together two worlds that have never before been united in this way—the laid-back vibe, the feel-good atmosphere, the exclusivity, and the charm of a beach boutique hotel with all the advantages of a modern liveaboard. “Soul” also stands for “inner values”: Moni and her team placed particular emphasis on these when designing the concept. For example, the team is breaking new ground by ensuring that all meals are enjoyed with a view of the sea—the kitchen and restaurant are located directly on the sun deck. The 43-meter-long Omneia Soul is high-quality, modern, and furnished with great attention to detail—a true feel-good ship.For underwater photographers, the large photography area has been equipped with everything one could wish for. In addition to “regular” dives, the Omneia Soul also offers all the opportunities and facilities technical divers need. And as befits a modern boutique hotel, wellness services are also available on board: from yoga to massages.
