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.

Superb experience, this has to be the best way to scuba dive
Diving the SS Thistlegorm. Ras Mohamad reefs. Photography opportunities, very happy with my images. The helpfulness of the crewe, they get a fantastic job. My wife is a non diver, but they took time to take her snorkelling so she could see the reef marine life.

Amazing dive trip
My first time on a boat safari and I must say, its the best way to go on a diving holiday. I had the best experience ever. Thank you to the crew who were always working, but does everything with a smile😊. Hany, what can I say, very knowledgeable about the dive sites and what marine life to see. He’s the happiest person you’ll see underwater.

A really fun adventure- I’d highly recommend it!
Not having dove for a while, I found the the dive guides very patient and helpful- they helped get my diving skills back up to par quickly. Diving and interacting with a pod of dolphins was amazing, as was exploring many of the wrecks. A superb trip!

Just wow. Could not fault anything. Hany and Hassan are both excellent dive guides and really friend onboard. All of the crew from deckhands to chefs to salon crew to engineers and captain were also very happy, friendly and helpful. The room was kept clean and tidy. The food was varied and delicious. All dive briefs were clear and easy to understand, you felt very safe on all dives. I would definitely recommend to dive on the Emperor Superior, and I’ll definitely dive with Emperor Divers again.

Great trip with excellent service
We were unfortunate to have high winds during our trip however, the dive sites were managed to give us the best experience whilst maintaining a high level of safety. The crew and dive guides are excellent and were very attentive. We had a good choice of food throughout the week and the birthday cake was appreciated. The cabins are basic and feel dated however, they are functional with ensuite bathroom facilities. When we arrived we had a very thorough safety briefing which is reassuring and an evacuation plan was practiced in the event of an emergency. Emperor gave us free Egyptian data sims for use on board which was a nice touch. The support staff in the office were very prompt at responding to emails and communication was excellent. I have dived with Emperor previously and would recommend the company without hesitation.
