Beautiful location, great wrecks, amazing DMs/Instructors, boat and crew was pretty average.
Joking around with the DMs/Instructors, playing with the curious oceanic white tip sharks, and the crazy coral formations.

Awesone trip
We were first time Red Sea divers, so were astounded with the coral and fish. Dive briefings were very thorough, safety was emphasized but we were allowed to do our own dive. The boat had recently been refitted, so was in good shape. Crew was friendly. Food was good. Sonia our divemaster was great. Overall it was good value for the money, we enjoyed the diving and the trip.

Diving Fanatic Satisfies Itch to Dive with Emperor
Aside from the really awesome dive sites, the staff, crew, and dive masters/instructors are what make this trip amazing. Heading towards the south and St. John in the Red Sea was a good choice as it offers a variety of different kinds of dive experiences for divers of all levels. This boat and it's crew are seasoned at working on liveaboards and their reputation of quality and service is warranted. I will certainly look for safaris with this group.

The people made this a great experience
The big three destinations on the itinerary were great. Even thought we did not see as many sharks as we wanted, the dives were really fun and the dive guides were superior. The crew was very nice and helpful getting us in and out of the water. I felt really safe the whole time which is a big deal for me. They chose the best drop in sites, current locations, and depths. I would say the only issues was the boat itself needs a little upgrade in the rooms department, but the showers were hot and the space was good even in the little rooms. The common areas were nice and AC was a good which was nice because it was hot. The food was good and plentiful which was great after the dives. The schedule was always really good and they would get us in the water so we didn't have to compete with the other boats. I would definitely go again.

Modern boat, great crew
First a review of Echo boat. It's nice and modern, most cabins are at or above main deck, so you get better ventilation. A few cabins are very tight, but they have plenty of storage. The trip itself was good due to the highlights of encountering the sharks, but about 1/3 of the diving is mundane reefs on the way to/from the main attractions. Unfortunately, it seems like due to regulations, they can't spend more time the good dive sites, so you'll get to dive some filler boring reefs for 2.5 days.

Fantastic trip with Emperor Echo
Fantastic diving with great encounters with many types of sharks and amazing coral formations. The dive guides and crew made the trip very special with their service and happy smiles. It is the second time with emperor In the Red Sea and I can only recommend it. Big thanks for an unforgettable trip.

Could be better
It could be better because: We had a major problem with one of the 2 engines on the 1st day. It had to be repaired onboard having a piston replaced. That delayed our trip. On the 5th day we had a major water leak on the hull having the lower cabins flooded. The crew were able to manage the problems and there was no panic onboard. Nevertheless we had to sleep the last night in a hotel. This is probably a result of no preventive maintenance that i suppose is common to many diving companies. We were just not lucky to have it all in one week.
