An unforgettable dive experience
Truly enjoyed my trip with the M/Y Blue. Abu Dabab, Daedalus, Elphinstone and especially Brothers are amazing dive sites, with beautiful corals, some wrecks and plenty of marine life - with the longimanus as highlight of course! The crew and dive guides made this trip extra special. Always smiling, in for some fun, friendly and helpful - giving everything to make it for everyone a holiday to remember. Can definitely recommend this liveaboard!

Faultless diving trip, simply first class
The communication during the booking process was first class. This was an amazing dive trip, I have been on this route (different vessel) before, so I have the ability to make that comparison. The vessel Blue was well thought out for diver comfort and efficiency. The crew were hard working and extremely helpful. The food! The food was just the best, incredible .

Best luxury dive safari money can biy
Red Sea is an amazing place to dive. We were on the boat for 2 weeks and did 2 separate tours. Several guests were on the yacht for a 2nd, 3rd or more times. Had some other Americans with us and they also said this boat is one of the best run they had ever been on.

Great trip - would go again
We had a really great time onboard the MY Blue. Everyone was super friendly and attentive - even when we had one day of lower visibility, the captain and the rest of the crew went out of their way to find dive spots with better viz, which was highly appreciated by everyone. Diving in the Red Sea is always such a pleasure, with the most fantastic dive sites. The food was even better than you'd usually find on livaboards with quite varied menus for lunch and dinner, which is an undervalued thing when you're onboard for a week :) We'd be more than happy to go with MY Blue gain.

This adventure on Blue was my first Liveaboard experience and it was simply stupendous!
When I stepped aboard for the first time, it became evident that Blue is a well-run, well-maintained vessel with a happy crew. Every detail, from the food, the sleeping quarters, the dive deck, etc., was meticulously attended to. I found the actual diving magical during the entire trip. Our dive guides were terrific. Everyone on the crew worked hard to ensure the Blue Liveaboard experience was second to none. There is nothing I observed that I thought could have been done better. I had a wonderful time during this entire dive trip and will definitely sail on Blue again! Bravo Blue!

Safety of the divers, crew and ship is paramount. Blue is well maintained and spotless. The diving and the dive guides were fabulous. I made new friends, some of whom I'm sure will be lifelong friends.

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 trip and boat!
Fantastic trip to Elphinstone, Daedalus and Fury Shoals with awesome guides, crew & boat! Food and Service were outstanding (the best I had in Egypt!). I also loved all the small details this boat offers for a comfortable dive trip. At Daedalus they made sure that we are the first divers to enter the water to see Hammerhead sharks. Dive spots and times were chosen, so that there are not to many other divers around. Great job!

Totally loved it!
It was an awesome liveaboard. We had so much fun going to St. John’s reef. The crew members were super friendly and professional. Rooms were very clean and everyday housekeeping would make up your bed and clean all around. I have to say that we were also very well fed, every meal was special and delicious. The chef made sure we ate well, and dive masters made sure we dove well and safe. The debriefing was very professional and SMBs were required by every diver. They also provided gps locator for emergency and nitrox free of charge. Highly recommend this liveaboard and I would definitely dive with them again in the future.

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.

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.
