Amazing boat, crew and diving!
One week trip to the Brother's Islands with some modification based on weather changes that worked out well. Crew really went out of their way to ensure they could do everything possible including getting special milk for my wife and provided modified meals for people with any requests. Boat is quite nice with mix of covered areas, sun decks, in/outdoors etc. Diving was easily handled off the back of the large deck or with tenders. They arranged all rental equipment for us beforehand and made changes as needed. They provided the option of guided dives with instructor or independent diving with partner after briefing etc. Diving was excellent with good vis, coral, fish etc!

Beautiful boat and very nice crew
We spent one week on the Aphrodite, made the south tour. It was a great week. The staff on the boat is super friendly and helpful. The boat itself is amazing. And of course diving was nice, with two professional dive guides. We really enjoyed the trip with the Aphrodite.

Great first Liveaboard experience
Outstanding crew including guides. Felt like privileged guest. Diving: mostly from Zodiak, which is great. Hammerhead, grey reef shark and whale shark at brothers, hammerhead school and Thresher shark at Daedalus, big turtles, Spanish dancer, Salem Express, too much to name. Other guest were great fun.

Amazing 10 days trip in North Red Sea
We liked Aphrodite during our 10 days dive safari in North Red sea. Our dive guide was very helpful, polite, attentive and well prepared and knowledgeable about the dive sites. The food was fantastic, every day there was seafood offered with our meals. The quality of the chef overran all expectations you can have on a liveaboard. We were quite lucky as we had more than 40 minutes dive with dolphins that were very playful with us. All in all I recommend Aphrodite to everyone who wants to indulge in a fantastic dive safari in North Red sea.

Memorable trip, looking forward to coming back next time.
The overall itinerary was great, the dive guides and crew were very professional and very nice. The living environment is also very satisfying. Saw pelagic whitetip sharks, hammerhead sharks, dolphins, and more. Very satisfied.

A beautiful liveaboard that met our expectations
We (couple) enjoyed the week very much. The crew was very attentive, the food fantastic, the drinks very well stocked. The equipment of the boat has been great, freshly renovated and almost luxurious. The dives were well prepared, the briefings were understandable and good. Our dive guide was competent and usually responded to all individual needs. Our group consisted of 6 divers who harmonized well together and were balanced in terms of skills. It's a pity that sometimes only one dive was carried out at the hotspots, especially at Elphinstone we would have liked to have had 2 Tgs, and there was only one night dive. The snacks after the dive were the best we have ever had, no ready-made products, but e.g. freshly baked samosas, pastries and fresh smoothies. The beds were comfortable and large, the room was cleaned 2x a day. Unfortunately, the ice cube machine was defective, as well as our refrigerator in the cabin and the safe box locked (not usable) and the bathroom smelled bad.All in all, we were very satisfied. We would book again and recommend the Aphrodite.

The crew was very helpful (+++)
The route included Brother Islands where good experience of diving was expected. We met very nice divers but we were surprised that some of them had few experience that limited the dives for experienced divers (25 minutes of diving, back to the boat on Brothers Island is very limited and a bit frustrated).

The boat is convenient for diving, Meals were simple but very good, Possibility to stay on the boat for the last day while waiting for the transfer to the airport

Avoid - much better options in the market
Exceptionally disappointing trip - got a chest infection from the air-conditioner making diving difficult, lower deck smelt of human waste and a dive guide got fired mid trip for a horrible attitude. So many better options in the Red Sea, of 16 dives we did only 3 were liveaboard style. Went on a night "dive" to a maximum depth of 6m and average of 4... rental equipment was also wrong size. To top it off, operator offered a partial refund before blocking everyone and ignoring them. Awful organisation and would urge anyone to choose a different boat. Boat was in ok condition, food and staff however were amazing and deserve praise. Trip was a nightmare and of an unacceptable standard.
