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!

Sharks, sharks and again sharks. The boat was very confortable. The crew was very kind and always willing to help. The food was delicious and not so spicy. 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.

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)

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.

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!!
