Super trip, with a nice crew and beautiful dives!
We had a great trip. The crew does everything they can to give you a pleasant experience. For example, we got nice towel animals in your room twice a day. The food is superb, plenty of choice and they try to take everyone into account. For the BBQ evening, there was even more unpacking. Dive sites were superb. Quiet locations, with not too many divers. Unfortunately we saw few sharks due to the high temperatures, but that didn't make the experience any less fun.Thanks for the nice holiday!

Fantastic liveaboard in the Red Sea at a fair price
I was on a liveaboard in the Red Sea with my brother for the first time.We were delighted with the quality of the M.V. Blue, there was more than enough space for the 22 guests. The service was outstanding, everything was thought of and all crew members were very courteous, attentive and extremely friendly throughout.Special highlights on our tour were the sightings of Longimanus, dolphins, octopus and turtles underwater while diving.Thank you! We would love to come back :)

Fantastic Crew and Well Thought out
The dive locations were incredible with the incredible wall, swim through and deep blue diving. The team planned the route and schedules around other touring companies to ensure minimal divers were in the water at one time. The staff were excellent and impressionable. You will always be welcomed by a new towel folded animal after every dive! Lastly, on the last day you come into the harbour and spend the night within the harbour before you depart. This was really helpful as it provided a good opportunity to bond with you, your boat and neighbouring boats the last night. Highly recommend My Blue for your next Egyptian dive safari.

Great week on a great boat
Seeing oceanic whitetips up close, and i mean CLOSE! The Blue boat is the nicest in the Blue Planet fleet, and easily the nicest of all the Egyptian Red Sea competitors that I could see. Dive guides were superb, and everything was taken care of to the smallest detail. Highly recommended. My only wish is that I had gone during peak season as we didn't see many hammerheads.

Gladly again with the Blue
We had a fantastic week on board. The organization was excellent from start to finish – everything went professionally, relaxed and smoothly.The crew was incredibly friendly, helpful and always had a smile on their faces. You felt welcome and in good hands from the first moment. The guides were also top: safe, competent and with a lot of passion. They have selected great dive sites and given us wonderful experiences underwater.The boat was clean, well maintained and had enough space to relax. The food was varied and good – even between the dives, the physical well-being was always taken care of.The dives themselves were the absolute highlight: coral reefs, biodiversity and perfect conditions. Safety was always a top priority, without neglecting fun.Thank you to the whole team for this unforgettable trip. We would go on a liveaboard with you again at any time and can recommend Blue without reservation!

Silky and oceanic whit tip sharks, beautiful healthy reefs full of colours and live. On the boat everything was great but the rooftop dinner really stood out. Our first time on a liveaboard but this has certainly exceeded expectations and we'll be back with the Blue Planet group!

Fantastic crew, every single one on board was extremely friendly and helpful. They truly cared about making sure all guests ans staff are having the best possible time. The boat was in great condition and the crew made sure it stays that way. Lastly the itinerary (Brothers, Daedalus, Elphinstone) was very well chosen and the dive guides had excellent knowledge about the sites and showed the highest level of professionalism.

Blue Heaven
First the off the boat and crew are top notch, anything you wanted or needed they did for you immediately. The diving itself was amazing but challenging, but as is usually the case it was also well worth the effort. We saw Hammerhead Sharks in a school of 15-20 and it was up close and an amazing experience. Going to the lighthouse on Daedalus Island was a nice break from being on the water. The kitchen staff and the food were both amazing, but the best part was the dive guides who kept you well informed and safe at all times. They also know all the best places to dive for the big stuff which needless to say is very helpful. Lastly we were fortunate to have a very friendly group of people (friends now) who helped make the trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this boat and crew as well as blue planet Liveaboard’s we will definitely be going back.

Not a single thing to complain about
Offers an extremely high standard of quality in all aspects - safety is taken seriously, food is great, boat is in excellent condition, everyone clearly goes above and beyond basic work ethic. As a side-note: On our trip we only had 2 dive guides for ~20 divers, so for some dives and for some people that might be too few

Excellent dive safari!
Itinerary was excellent (Daedalus, Zabargad and Rocky), we would make it again with pleasure! Dive briefings were very detailed and comprehensive. The yacht itself is the best of what we have seen in Egypt so far, so we would definitely prefer to go with this yacht again if we plan our next safari in Egypt.

Very good, spacious yacht (however surprisingly a lot of small things are poorly maintained despite the fact that boat is very new), however it was comfortable and enjoyable.
