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.

Horrible cabin n1. Fumes of diesel and an old vessel

The fumes of Diesel in our cabin stayed for days and got us a headache. Nothing to be done of cours during the trip, and no real satisfactory reply and remedies after the trip apart from a small discount if we book again. What? Never again with the Emperor fleet. That is for sure. Thistlegorm was amazing and so are all dives, but that is so on every boat. The review should be about the boat, the crew, the food, and then , yes the dives, which are always very nice in Egypt.

The dives are great and so are the dive guides who let you according to your certificate, dive alone (with a buddy) crew was nice too. Apart from that horrible cabin which stayed for days into the trip. Eventually we tried to not be affected by the smell and have some fun. We had.

Dive the way you want

They just let you dive the way you want. As a photographer I could say for several minutes doing a shot. You don't have to follow the guides. But we have few space for cameras...

Great dive experience!

The dive guides Ana and Sergio are great. The boat is good, the food is good (but not great) and the Thistlegorm, and the Abu Nhumas wrecks worths the trip!
