Fantastic trip with Alia - awesome boat, crew and diving!
We spent a week diving with Alia, which was much better than we could have ever hoped for! From the boat itself, which was very spacious inside and outside, to the crew, who was so friendly and easy-going. We made the trip to St John's Reef, and the dive sites were also much more interesting than we had imagined - the cave diving is fantastic (and not too technically difficult!), coral gardens and reef were so beautiful and we even had 2x whale sharks at Elphinstone (which wasn't on the itinerary but managed to go regardless), a manta ray, 3x turtles, some barracudas and too-many-to-count moray eels.

- Unexpected trip to Elphinstone (that gave us 2x whale shark sightings). Awesome, friendly crew from dive guides to the pastry chef (yes, there's a pastry chef!). Very spacious boat, both inside and outside. The dive platform is fantastic!.

Excellent experience on the Red Sea
It was amazing to see the Red Sea and dive there. The boat was well set up and comfortable. There was plenty of space and the cabin was roomy. The staff on the boat were more like friends and really know what they are doing. I always felt safe and comfortable. As a dive professional myself I’m always thrilled to see safety measures that go above and beyond. One example would be the encouragement of safety stops even when not necessary according to the ERDP.

Perfect liveaboard with the Alia
So far the best of all (also very good) liveaboards. Very large, spacious boat with an attentive, friendly and helpful crew ( Thanks to Mostapha Ibrahim and the whole Crew)Competent dive guides (Reda and Noelie) who always discuss the safety of the group and the reefs.Three Tg at Elphinstone with whale sharks in two of them.However, you should note that the "Alia" is a ship of a French company (Dune), i.e. certain English and/or French language skills are a great advantage.
