A great diving experience on the Red Sea
A great diving experience in the Red Sea with really good value for money. Everything was just right: The crew on the boat was super friendly, the food was always delicious and more than sufficient, and the equipment was in very good condition. The route was beautiful and the dive sites really impressive. In addition, there was a really nice group of divers. Overall, I had a really cool time and I would do the tour again anytime!

To live to believe
I had an amazing week, I didn't really know what to expect, this extraordinary, the crew always has a little word, a smile, they help us with each dive, they are really benevolent. The instructors are top notch I was supervised / Ramadan. and the chef cooks 🥰 he delighted us. You have to live it to believe it. The amazing dives, there were night dives every day. I had taken my 93-year-old dad with me, it's not necessarily to be done, but he has stars in his eyes. He is a former sailor and a former diver.I will come back to the Dicovery 1

Excellent Dive Trip … a lovely group of people
We were so pleased to go back to the Northern dive sights … we were divers there in 1989! So lots of changes . The weather was windy and challenging at times but the crew were excellent and the itinerary changed to where it was safe to dive Very lucky to see White tip sharks , dolphins and the highlight a huge Whale Shark at Ras Mohammad ! A real bonus

Great food and staff
Had a great time on Amelia Discovery! The food was incredible and all crew members very friendly, dive sights were beautiful and great range of wreck, wall, and reef dives. We took our AOW on the boat and dive masters were very attentive for this based on my level. We did find at times in the dining area/lower cabins there was a diesel smell but as this was my first liveaboard I don't know if this is typical. Overall a wonderful experience!! Highly recommend

Great experience: absolute must!
Saw a lot of sharks (hammerhead, grey reef shark and treasure shark), beautiful coral and marine life!The crew was incredibly friendly, helpful and we laughed a lot together.Dive instructors were skilled and put safety first. And there was always room for humor and fun!Great food galore.Cabins were super clean and we were fully equipped.Nice group of international people. We didn't have a camera, but everyone took a lot of pictures and videos for us.Only point of feedback is that there was no sparkling water or diet soda. Well if that's all there is to it, that's saying something, isn't it?!We will definitely do this more often. We are going to do Discovery 1 again, because we also want to discover the North (we have now seen the South).

The overall experience was incredible. The boat, the food, the crew, the guides, and of course the dives. Everything was organized flawlessly and efficiently, and I didn’t believe we would be able to see oceanic whitetips, hammerheads, and silky sharks all in this one trip. It was an just unforgettable experience!

Brother’s, Daedalus, Elphinstone tour
Did a one weeks liveaboard on Amelia discovery. Had some great diving in the south of the Red Sea. The boat isn’t the most luxurious that I’ve been on, but it’s more than adequate for a good weeks diving. The crew were all really nice and the food was good. Aly was my dive guide for the week and made the trip highly enjoyable. Would definitely use discovery divers again!

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed my week on the the Amelia.
We were very lucky during our dive on the south side of Elphinstone. Sharks and Dolpins in one dive. This more than made up for the north side and some of the other relatively mundane dive sites. In general if you like diving on reefs with coral gardens / pinnacles or through cave systems that are open to light above then this is the trip for you. The deep south tour is not something you should take if you are more interested in just seeing some sharks.
