[Carlos Diver]

Aggressor has its issues, but a boat without AC, at least when functioning normally, is not one of them.

You really need to look at their web site and the Know Before You Go information. They will want you aboard during the afternoon of the 16th and leave in the evening or very early the next morning, but it is your responsibility to find that out, directly from them. Given the formalities of dealing with the local authorities, they probably won’t have much leeway if you aren’t where you’re supposed to be. They’ll need a scanned copy of your passport prior to your arrival. Egypt requires the medical form also. Which boat will you be on?

It’s usually in the afternoon between 2-4pm on the fist day. Please read their “Know Before You Go” page, as shown in the link below.

I was trying to fit a combo trip to Red Sea before my Indo liveaboard so I was doing a lot of HW. The dates just didnt play out in my favor. Water temps should be high 70s.
