Incredible
An unbeatable experience. From the first day everything was clean, comfortable and super well prepared. Wonderful kitchen equipment with appetizing dishes, a wide variety of dishes and abundant quantities. In relation to diving, very careful dive profiles with detailed explanations, the dive guides very attentive to the group and always accessible, to highlight my guide Maradona. The equipment area is always tidy and ready with a super professional and close crew. The boat and cabins are very comfortable, they accompany relaxation and enjoyment. In short, an experience of 10. In addition, all the workers emanate love and care for their craft and for the ocean.

A perfect trip
Everything about this trip exceeded my expectations. The diving was fantastic. Our dive guide planned the dives brilliantly taking into account everyone's preferences and the conditions. The staff on the boat did not miss a beat, they were friendly, and extremely helpful. Cabins were clean and tidy and the food was great, diverse and plentiful. We will be booking again next year with Blue Pearl no doubt.

Beatiful wrecks and corals liveaboard
The wreck of Thistelgorm is terrific, we did four dives on it! The reef of Abu Nuhas and his 4 wrecks - we were lucky, we saw dolphins during 2 days we stayed there - while diving on the wreck of Carnatic - and 2 times while going back after a dive on our Zodiac (and we could snorkel withe them, they came to play with us!!) The dives at Ras Mohammed were awsome, so rich in both corals and fishes! Ans diving with a dozen of very playful dolphins at Shaab El Erg was a magnificent ending of this great liveabord

Very friendly and helpful local crew
The cleanliness in the cabin has room for improvement. Nevertheless the crew is absolutely friendly and helpful. The diveguides try to avoid very crowded dives by good time planning. The highlights of the marine-life were the face-to-face encounters with the longimanus and the hammerheads at brothers and deadalus.

Best week ever
This was phenomenal and shattered my expectations. Thanks to the flawless organization, I got to do 20 extraordinary dives. The marine life blew my mind (dolphins, turtles, corral gardens and countless colorful fish). Plus, exceptional wrecks. The crew is working hard to make it great. The food (oh my god...), cleaning, helping, the briefing and guiding. Plus a really friendly group of like minded people. Everything perfect. I cant wait to book and go again!

Varied dive trip
Diving the Thistlegorm was amazing, as were some of the other wrecks - really nice variety of sites with lots of nice condition reefs as well. Visibility wasn't amazing but good enough. The dive guides worked hard to fit in 4 dives on as many days as possible, which was great but that did make for a pretty challenging schedule: wake up call was 5.30am, supper not served until after the night dive, so 9pm at the earliest. I had to sleep after both the morning dives, sometimes the afternoon one too! The crew were friendly and helpful. Only downside was that several smoked and also listened out loud to their phones on the deck which was slightly annoying at times. Food was varied and fresh with plenty of nutritious options as well as treats, and lots of it! Delicious juices after each dive. Overall a challenging but really good week (NB was my first experience of a live-aboard so others may have found it much easier).

Amazing!
It was all an incredible experience and every single dive yielded something new! It's so hard to pick a standout but if I had to then I'd say the spontaneous 30 min dive with two adult and two juveniles Dolphins on route the the Giannis D, the school of 30 + Lion fish on the exit of the Ulysses or out into the Blue from the wall at Ras Mohammed, all of it! Diving aside the highpoint were the folks we met and the warmth, expertise and hospitality of the guides and crew.

A good boat experience overall
The trip was overall fun with 6 days of diving on our 8 day trip. There was a decent amount of food which was mostly tasty. We got to see Hammerheads on two of the dives. Diving wasn't as good as Australia or Indonesia, but we got to see some rays, moray eels, and a turtle on one of the dives. The crew was very friendly, even if most didn't speak English. There was a cultural difference in communication with the dive guides.

Excellent diving, excellent time to visit Egypt, and great crew!
I really enjoyed the trip and would definitely re-book. The crew was fantastic - professional and friendly. The crew really went above-and-beyond, in my opinion. The diving was excellent and it's a great time to visit Egypt; since tourism is down we had the reefs and wrecks all to our selves. While tourism is down, I felt completely safe and had no issues at all during any of my travel in Egypt. The diving was great - we had dolphins, eels, nudis, great wrecks, beautiful hard and soft corals, all just really nice diving. On our trip the dive guides didn't go on most of the dives - this was the first time I've ever had this experience on any live aboard or dive resort. The briefings were good but then they'd put us in groups and we'd go off on our own. Everyone was experienced so it didn't feel like a safety issue but it's still pretty unusual. Typically the dive guides go with you and show you the marine life, special sites, etc. This was the first experience like this - it was fine but not excellent.
