Best all around dive experience
Encountering dolphins, twice. Meeting new divers from all over the world. Diving on some of the most amazing wrecks in the Red Sea. Getting to dive the sites before any of the day-boats got there was always a huge plus. The crew had all of the locations very well planned out.

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!!

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!

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)
