Amazing.
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!

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)

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 Red Sea trip with new friends
I loved the beautiful soft and hard corals. I would say this coral might even be superior to The Great Barrier Reef. Lots of schools of fish: triggerfish, banner fish, butterfly fish, bat fish, tuna, snapper, etc. It was amazing seeing a school of yellow snapper that seemed to go on for miles!! Huge napoleon! Schools of dolphins who "performed" for us and looked very happy! Beautiful Gorgonian fans. The multiple nationalities we had as passengers made it so fun! The boat crew were great. The diving allowed for independence and guided dives, whichever you were comfortable with.

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.

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.

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!!
