First time Diving the Red Sea
Having only 10 guest on a boat that accommodates 25 was very good for livability and diving. The diving itinerary was good for my first visit to the Red Sea, and we even saw Thresher sharks in the distance. The food, diving and rest schedules were well thought out too.

very exciting diving trip, just as hoped.
Wrecks like the thistlegorm have absolutely enriched the holiday. The crew was super nice, as were the guides. From time to time I saw small improvements and noted them directly (zodiacs that drove directly over our heads and turned, guides that communicated too little or not at all)

Wonderful week in spite of the wind
From start to finish, the crew were warm, friendly and helpful. Their experience was evident and their enthusiasm was apparent. The boat was very comfortable and was reassuringly stable. We suffered a week of high winds but they managed the situation well and selected safe sites to dive and moor by changing itinerary as was essential and kept us well informed throughout. We are experienced divers and were able to follow group or go independently as we wished. Diving was well organised but not restrictive. Our guides, Eric and Aly were excellent and there is always at least one guide in the water with guests. Food was good and we felt very well looked after. The trip was excellent value for money without the dreaded bill at the end which You’re often presented with on other boats and the tipping process is discreet as you pop your envelope through a slot into a box which they deal with later. We were given slippers, robes and gifted a dry bag plus Egyptian sims for our phones, very nice touches. I would highly recommend Emperor as a company and Superior as a great boat.

The dive guides has a sharp eye to spot interesting marine life and let us have very long dives which is very kind of them. We are looking forward diving with Liveabord again for sure!

Amazing boat and even better crew
The crew leader/dive guide, Sonia, is fantastic; so knowledgeable and experienced. She has an amazing way with people and made everyone feel comfortable and well cared for as well as bringing a great sense of humour to the trip. The second dive guide, Eric, is also very helpful and is great at balancing a laid-back attitude with an attention to safety. The rest of the crew are amazingly helpful and diligent. They are constantly cleaning and helping out all the customers. They will help you get kitted/unkitted every dive and it’s so nice to be greeted with a warm drink every time you come out the water. The boat itself is beautiful. Comfortable rooms with A/C and hot showers. Plenty of areas to relax inside and outside the boat. The quality of the furnishings was also surprisingly good. Last but not least, the food! The most delicious 3 course meals 3 x a day as well as lovely cooked snacks during the day (I was a particular fan of the samosas). I would pay good money for this quality of food in a restaurant so to be treated to it 3 x a day every day is a real luxury.

Excellent liveaboard with great dives
We booked the reef and wreck tour, the itinerary was varied and interesting with plenty to see. The crew and dive guides were all welcoming and made the boat feel like your home for the week. We dived in March and most guest on board were surprised how cold the water was, 18 to 20 degrees. We were supplied with 7mm wetsuits and were consistently cold after dives in the north Red Sea, recommend additional insulation if susceptible to cold.

Wonderful Red Sea trip with new friends
I loved the beautiful soft and hard corals. I would say this coral might even be superior to The Great Barrier Reef. Lots of schools of fish: triggerfish, banner fish, butterfly fish, bat fish, tuna, snapper, etc. It was amazing seeing a school of yellow snapper that seemed to go on for miles!! Huge napoleon! Schools of dolphins who "performed" for us and looked very happy! Beautiful Gorgonian fans. The multiple nationalities we had as passengers made it so fun! The boat crew were great. The diving allowed for independence and guided dives, whichever you were comfortable with.

Just loved living on a boat again diving most of the day
It'd been almost 10 years ago since my last liveaboard and I loved it and had great memories and therefore high expectations for this trip. I was not disappointed. The crew members where very helpful and friendly. The food was better then I expected, but for the food I gad low expectations. Most members of the group where friendly and considered of each other dispite great differences in diving experience. The boat is a few years old and you can tell but it's not bad just a little worn here and there. If you enjoy wrecks there are plenty on this trip. Sometimes it could feel a bit crowned under water especially on the popular divesites like the Thistlegorm and this was the low season. Over all just loved living on a boat again diving for most of the day!!
