Great experience with great crew
Actually, everything was perfect. An international diving group that has grown together quite a bit in the one week. The food was great, varied and the crew very helpful.A cake was conjured up for someone on board for their birthday on the last day.Only in the port of Hurghada there is no shore power for the boats, so the ship's engines ran all night on many other boats. In Marsa Alam this was not a problem

It was amazing jornney!
It was our (me and my wife) very first diving safari. We saw langimanus, hammerhead, napoleon-fish, silky shark, Spanish dancer, manta ray and dolphins from the yacht. The guides Peter and Darya were always as underwater as onboard helpful and very empathic. The food was diverse and delicious, 10 out of 10. We will plan our next safari in Red See only with Discovery. Thanks the team for amazing experience and adventure!!!

Only 16 of 19 dives were done
The overall experience has been satisfactory as the staff has been very friendly But 19 dives were offered and we have only done 16 and that three are missing does not seem logical to me since we did not have bad seas or any other inconvenience, I would have liked there to be some night dives, although this if it was not in the Itinerary but since it was a minimum Advanced dive it would have been appreciated at least on my part

Hooked for Life – An Unforgettable First Liveaboard Experience with Discovery I
I honestly don’t even know how to begin—this was my very first liveaboard experience, and it completely hooked me on scuba diving even more. I loved every moment spent on Discovery I. From the start, everything was smooth. The LiveAboard website was easy to navigate, and the customer service was excellent—very responsive, well-organized, and helpful. Discovery Divers was just as impressive. I was picked up from the airport right on time, exactly as promised, and felt safe on every single dive we did. The boat crew and dive guides were not only professional and skilled but also incredibly warm and friendly. They made the whole trip feel special. We were so lucky with our sightings—we saw hammerheads, threshers, oceanic whitetips, a whale shark, dolphins, manta rays, and more. What stood out the most to me was how passionate the crew was. You’d never catch them looking tired or bored. Their enthusiasm was contagious—it felt like they were just as excited as we were, as if it were their first liveaboard too. They are, without a doubt, some of the most hardworking and genuine people I’ve ever met. What made the whole experience even more memorable was the great company. Everyone on board was cool, friendly, and easy to get along with, which really added to the fun and relaxed vibe. I was lucky to have a great roommate, too—we shared a small cabin, but we managed well and it honestly worked out perfectly. As for the facilities, I have nothing negative to say. Everything was well-kept, clean, and fully functional. You’ve got everything you need on board, and it’s all maintained with care. The food? Incredible. We were seriously spoiled by the kitchen crew—four scheduled meals a day, snacks in between, free-flowing drinks, and a ton of extra treats available anytime. The crew helped out with everything—from dive gear to daily needs—and always with a smile. Even after the trip ended, the service continued. My flight was at night, and they arranged a transfer with perfect timing so I wouldn’t have to wait too long at the airport. That level of attention to detail really left a lasting impression. For the price I paid, I’d do this all over again in a heartbeat. I honestly can’t wait to be back at sea with this company.
