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.

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.

good experience for our 1st liveaboard in red sea
great dive with dolphins! nice wrecks like SS Thistlegorm and Giannis D due to windy weather we only did one dive in Shark & Yolanda, and skip the night dive at SS Thistlegorm but in general it is still a very nice liveaboard trip, enjoy the time with our guides Zizo, Sonia, and all crew members and other passengers on board.

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.

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.
