All in all, it was a super great experience. We saw and learned a lot. The food and catering was great. The crew was always helpful in putting on and putting on the equipment. Our dive guide Mohamed showed and taught us great things! We are booking with liveaboard again!

Excellent experience and liveaboard
The boat is modern and well taken care of, although not excessively luxurious. The crew takes excellent care of all guests, and the food is phenomenal and varied. Dive guides are experienced, very well navigated, and also give you freedom to explore areas via unguided buddy dives where the conditions allow for it. The itinerary chosen was well designed for the weather conditions, and had a great mix of different dive sites/types (wrecks, reef, gardens, drift, night).

This is one in a lifetime trip with great Dive Lead
The underwater was great but the staff, headed by Peter the dive Lead, was superb and could feel their passion for the job they do. Food was delicious, the chef and Ruby were super accommodating to requests and they help you in everything, making the dive experience safe and unforgettable (and on the boat too). I was one of the least experienced but I felt all the time taken care of, and I managed to enjoy a lot my first dives inside a wreck. Peter was also spooting all sort of creatures, octopus, moray eel, white tip shark, etc.. even a giant whale shark ! I'm looking forward to repeat it in the south area.

Great experience: absolute must!
Saw a lot of sharks (hammerhead, grey reef shark and treasure shark), beautiful coral and marine life!The crew was incredibly friendly, helpful and we laughed a lot together.Dive instructors were skilled and put safety first. And there was always room for humor and fun!Great food galore.Cabins were super clean and we were fully equipped.Nice group of international people. We didn't have a camera, but everyone took a lot of pictures and videos for us.Only point of feedback is that there was no sparkling water or diet soda. Well if that's all there is to it, that's saying something, isn't it?!We will definitely do this more often. We are going to do Discovery 1 again, because we also want to discover the North (we have now seen the South).

I thoroughly enjoyed my week on the the Amelia.
We were very lucky during our dive on the south side of Elphinstone. Sharks and Dolpins in one dive. This more than made up for the north side and some of the other relatively mundane dive sites. In general if you like diving on reefs with coral gardens / pinnacles or through cave systems that are open to light above then this is the trip for you. The deep south tour is not something you should take if you are more interested in just seeing some sharks.

- The crew were really very helpful, a very nice mix of divers from other countries, and some very nice dives.
