Another reminder ... to not go on a liveaboard in Egypt.
Well there are also 3 LOB fires in Indonesia this year, so maybe Egypt is not an outliner?
We met with the owner and top staff of this boat at DEMA last year. Very nice folks and I feel bad for all involved. We considered booking a group trip for 2026. Guess not. Regarding the suggestions for keeping a dry bag with certain important things next to your bed, it is these types of very helpful suggestions that keep me reading Scubaboard…..even when some discussions fly way off the rails.

Take your own battery powered Smoke & Carbon Monoxide alarm on any overnight trip and wear a snorkel vest at least between dives. Boats are known to sink.
Water, sun hoody, prescription drugs.
A dry day pack might be the best choice so your hands are free. I know they make them for sailors.
Several options here:
Sailing Backpacks | Coast Water Sports
www.coastwatersports.com
Or use a standard pack and some ziplock bags. Either way, have it next to the bunk with a charged dive light clipped on.
Another one bites the dust! This happens so often, part of the boat briefing should be: "When the boat starts to sink....."
There are a few quality LOB companies out there, but it takes a lot of research. Just stay away from the Red Sea.
