Highlights

Large diving platform with charging station
Two spacious partly-shaded sun decks

Join the MY Blue Pearl liveaboard Egypt for a week-long itinerary diving into some of the best sites in the Red Sea. At 37m long and accommodating just 20 passengers, ample room is on board for rest and relaxation. Eight twin cabins are on the lower deck and feature twin beds, a private en suite bathroom, air-conditioning, storage space, and port-hole windows. On the upper deck are two master cabins with a double bed, private facilities, and ocean views. The main indoor salon and dining room is modern and bright with panoramic windows, comfortable seating, and an entertainment system with a TV, DVD, and CD player. The boat has multiple ‘al-fresco’ lounging areas, including an outdoor bar with seating and bean bags and two partially-shaded sun decks with loungers.

Blue Pearl itineraries cover the best dive sites in the Red Sea and are 7-nights long. The first evening is typically spent in port and departs after breakfast the following morning for 6 days of diving with 2-4 dives on offer each day. Itineraries include ‘North and Tiran’ to dive the world-famous Thistlegorm, the wrecks of Abu Nuhas, and the well-known ‘Brothers, Daedalus and Elphinstone’ route for the chance of some up-close shark encounters. The spacious dive deck, attentive crew, and free nitrox make for an easy and relaxing Red Sea dive liveaboard.

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.

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!

Excellent Experience
The shipwrecks were totally awesome to go through. I was worried about dive safety, but the dive masters were experienced, caring, and adhered to the safety standards of diving. The price of the experience was well worth it. Definitely a return to the Red Sea and a Blue Planet dive boat will occur again for me.

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.

Fantastic Trip
We had a lovely trip!!! The food, dive guides, and the boat crew was all absolutely amazing!! The cabin was incredibly clean and surprisingly spacious. We had fresh towels and the room was cleaned daily. The crew helping us with diving was great. I never lifted a finger, which felt strange since I have been on the other side as a diving instructor. It was very nice to be taken care of so well. Extra props for hot chocolate after night dives :) The diving was great and we had excellent briefings from the guides. Unfortunately, nature was not too keen on this trip and the sharks didn't really show up for us. But that is no one's fault and we still enjoyed the healthy coral reefs and the surprise Manta Ray. Highly recommend this company and hopefully we will be back soon!

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.
