All in all totally worth it
I really enjoyed the week on Discovery I. The crew is super friendly, helpful and attentive. Diving sites are really nice even though diving sites can get quite busy as several liveaboards were on the same route.

All in all great liveaboards
It was great to experience a cost-effective Red Sea liveaboard. The first unguided dive I did was romantic. The crew were all friendly and the food was great.

Mixed feelings
I was incredibly looking forward to this liveaboard tour with the Discovery 1 – and as far as life on board is concerned, I was not disappointed. No shoes for a week, the whole day in a bikini with a pareo – that's exactly how I had imagined it. The motto "Eat, Dive, Sleep, Repeat" describes this trip perfectly. The food was varied, plentiful and really delicious. The crew created a relaxed atmosphere, and within a few days we grew together as guests into a small family. It was precisely this sense of community that made the week so special for me. Unfortunately, we were less lucky under water. We only saw a few white tip sharks, otherwise the hoped-for wildlife failed to materialize. That's a pity, but nobody can do anything about it – nature just doesn't stick to our wishes. What I was not entirely happy with, however, was the organization of the dives. I found the division with two guides for 20 divers to be of little use. Beginners and very experienced divers were mixed without any recognizable structure. As a result, different levels of experience had to be constantly taken into account. I would have liked to see groups that were put together according to ability. Even with the guides, I sometimes had the feeling that the focus was more on finishing the dives quickly and coming back to the surface instead of taking time for the group or discovering the underwater world. Especially on a liveaboard where diving is the focus, I would have liked more commitment and peace and quiet. My conclusion: As a liveaboard, the Discovery 1 was great – great ship, excellent food, a wonderful atmosphere and a crew that makes you feel comfortable. However, the organization of the dives and the underwater guidance have potential for me to improve. Nevertheless, I take many beautiful memories home with me.

This cruise met my expectations
Thresher shark encounter and beauty of the drop-offs at the Brother Islands, wreck of the "Salem Express", beautiful biodiversity during the night dive.

- Varied dive sites, perfectly rehearsed crew to help with both launching and outings, independent diving possible for those who have the necessary certification
