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.

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.

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.

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.

Emperor Superior
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 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.

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.
