Better than a 5 star hotel
There were highlights for each dive, but being on scuba with a pod of 14+ dolphins around us for almost 10 minutes was incredible. Diving the Thistlegorm has been a goal ever since I started diving 18 years ago, and being able to dive it 3 times, one after the other was truly a wonderful experience. Our guides and boat went to great efforts to ensure that the sites we visited were easy to dive without there being the need to swim too far or be overwhelmed by other diving tours - Most of the time we felt like we were the nylon divers there, and the Red Sea belonged to us. We will definitely be back!

- The crew were always friendly, helpful and willing to assist with anything and everything to do with our stay on board as well the diving experience, whether it was gearing up, gearing down for diving, or waiting for you with a warm drink after a cool night dive. We always felt welcome on-board. The dive guides were incredibly knowledgeable about each site we visited, and always acted with our best interests in mind, ensuring both our enjoyment and safety. The meals on board are just out of this world.
Outstanding Experience with an amazing crew and Co-Divers!
This was our first Dive Safari, and it was an amazing experience. The Emperor Elite is a spacious and comfortable ship and has all that you need on board for a great safari experience. The crew is extremely helpful in every aspect; The Diveguides, Momo and Saad look after each and everyone - you can be sure to have lots of great dives. The Emperor Elite is really well equipped - being provided with Nitrox is a great plus, and there is enough comfortable options in the lounge area to charge lamps, computers, cameras etc... This cruise was very special as it was a group of 26 guests, from 15! different Nations - ranging from 20 - 1000+ dives, not only it has been great fun to get to know many different people - but you could also learn something from each and everyone. Momo and Saad were our guides - and I never had such professional briefings prior diving in my previous 5+ years of diving - they are wonderful guides and extremely nice people. But that is true for all the crew on board. And the food the chefs create on board throughout the day, is nothing but stunning - super tasty and nicely presented - and with a variety that there is something for everybody. A big thank you to everyone there!!

Excellent hospitarity Crew and Guides
There are 10 nationalities on board. I really enjoyed not only underwater but also boat life. There held BBQ dinner on the top deck, every one danced and laughed so much. We started the week as stranger and we ended the week as friends. クルーのホスピタリティ、オーガナイズされたシステム、エジプトとは思えません。お勧めです。

My second liveboard on Elite
Very nice dives, well meet on board by crew and guides. Nice mix of nationalities among the guest. Sadly my cabinsealing was all wet and was leaking because of earlier wave. Didn't feel like the cabin lived up to standard feeling murky and damp for three days. The crew helped and did there best. Otherwise realy nice food very nice as always and guides very nice people . Sadly Internet was down even when there was reception witch is very sad and bad since that was one of my chooses for this boats specific . To be able to keep in touch. It not managed better by company the can't market it like that. The favour is very appreciated among Al guest if working
