- Lovely staff, good equipment, good food
The numerous highlights on this trip make it impossible to pick a favorite dive site...
The reefs on this trip are truly wonderful. As amazing as the reefs in the north of Egypt already are, they are easily surpassed by the stunning size and beauty of the reefs on this trip

Worst ever experience on a liveaboard
This has been the worst liveaboard experience we have ever had: terrible food, disgusting and stained bed sheets/duvet, small and cramped (+not fully equipped) diving area; boat is old and uncomfortable, desperately in need of renovation. The highlight (in a bad way) was the boat director asking people not to serve food twice because the amount was limited and there wasn't enough for everyone, which tells it all - terrible service and management. This is not the Emperor standard you find in the Maldives, and also not the standard you can easily find in other boats across the Red Sea. Never again.

Wahrhaft ein dive - eat - repeat Trip
Ich war das zweite Mal auf dieser St. Johns South Tour. Die Highlights für mich: Die Höhlen bzw. „Swimthroughs“ von manchen Spots sind ein Erlebnis, z.B. hat Abu Dabab I bis VI viel mehr zu bieten, als beim ersten Trip zu erahnen war. Die „Einsamkeit“ an den südlichen Riffs wo nur wir lagen - mit Ausnahme von Elphinstone: 70 Taucher gleichzeitig im Wasser, Whirlpool Luftblasen und „Gegenwind“ wohin wir uns auch gewendet haben.

Mega Erfahrung
War eine super Erfahrung mit Emperor. Super gute Guides die einem auch neue Tricks beibringen. Essen war immer sehr gut und mehr als genug. Die Tauchplätze sind der hammer und die Crew hat es immer geschafft das wir die ersten waren. Konnten die Massen an Tauchern so sehr gut umgehen. Das einzige Manko. Wenn man Internetzugang will dann am besten am Flughafen eine Sim kaufen. Internet am Boot hat leider nicht funktioniert. Ansonsten war alles Top. Habe 2 Tage vor Reiseantritt gebucht. Werde wieder mit Emperor in See stechen.

Super!
Alles was heel duidelijk en achteraf waren er geen verassingen met betalingen. Briefings werden telkens goed uitgelegd en de duikgidsen wisten perfect wat ze deden. Crew op de boot was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Stonden telkens voor ons klaar. De trip die we gedaan hebben ‘Red Sea Sharks’ was dik in orde. Heel veel nieuwe dingen gezien en natuurlijk kwamen we vooral voor de sharks waar we er toch een heel pak verschillende soorten van hebben kunnen zien. Kortom super ervaring en boot om een liveaboard mee te doen!
