The combination of the amazing crew, led by Mahmoud, and the stunning dive sites made it an unforgettable experience.
Crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and an abundance of marine life left us in awe. We had the chance to explore a variety of dive sites, each offering a unique underwater world to discover. Back on the liveaboard, the crew took excellent care of us. The meals were delicious and catered to various dietary preferences. The cozy cabins provided a comfortable retreat after a day of diving, and the communal areas were perfect for relaxing and sharing stories with fellow divers.

Really good experience
We are very lucky that only a small number of discovers showed up, which made the boat less crowded and facilitated bonding with each other. I can imagine that the dynamic in a larger groups would be very different. The boat is well kept, the staff is amazing, helpful and professional. Diving is extraordinary. Overall would highly recommend.

Great trip made even better by the crew and chef!
Overall this was a great liveaboard experience. The boat is slightly older but it does not try to be something it is not. It was a great liveaboard experience. Whilst the boat may not be the newest, the staff and crew are what made that boat truly special. The staff were so attentive that they were ready to come assist at a moments notice. There were often times I could have used some help but before asking, a crew member was there. It was also lovely to have Ziyad in the saloon greeting you so warmly every morning and at every meal. The cook also cooked some truly amazing meals. After a day of diving and on the ocean, you don't need pretentious dishes but homely delicious meals. And if there was something you wanted from the kitchen, the chef was more than happy to come and assist. Top quality food on board! I wouldn't hesitate to book again given the price and value of this liveaboard.

The staff were really attentive and helpful. They were always at the ready to assist with anything! They made this trip special. The cook was amazing. They made truly delicious food. It wasn't pretentious or fancy for the sake of it but just delicious homely meals which is what you want after a full day of diving. I loved the food. Mohammed was a great guide who took great care to find the best dive spots and best wildlife to see..

Fantastic Liveaboard!
We saw sharks on three of the four dives on day 4. A hammerhead and a bunch of white tip sharks. Food was delicious. So many dives it was great, 4 dives a day for the three days and two to finish the last day.

Dive guide, Karim, was awesome. He gave fantastic briefings and knew the dive sites well. The food was amazing, delicious and a variety. I have a nut allergy and they were kind enough to make me alternative for the two dishes that had nuts. The dive sites were amazing.

Very good first liveaboard experience
Great stay on board the freedom III despite a slight problem with room allocation (2 master cabins on the main deck, but only one with sea views..).Awesome crew and great food from the chef! A little disappointed not to have seen large animals (sharks, mantas, etc.) But obviously they have just left. The seabed was superb though!

It was good, but not excellent
It was all good in general except for the cabin where the aircon was not working but they put me in another one with decent ventilation, I dived with the same company the previous days and I was tol the liveaboard was in different sites, but a lot of the sites where the same, and the night dives were basically a short dive under the boat. Not bad but I expected more

Great diving experience in the Red Sea!
Thistlegorm could be seen 100 times and you still wouldn’t get sick of it. It really is something special. Compliments to the chef who made such a variety of food for every meal. There was something for everyone. The briefings for the dives were detailed and even gave back stories to the wrecks and the reefs. The dive masters knew where to find different wildlife and took care of the group while giving those space that wanted it. The rooms were nice and the environment was social. The whole experience on this boat was a highlight.

Best option for a first Live on Board
This was our first Live on Board, we were a bit scared about the intensity and duration of the cruise as we had no Nitrox yet. Finally we were able to get our Nitrox course during the cruise and all the dives were well explained with no rush and allowing everyone to understand the next dive. Food was awesome, in quantity, variety and taste, great chef!

Red Sea Diving from Sharm El Sheikh
This was my first Liveaboard trip, so it was amazing, yet a little tiring, to do 4 dives in one day (including a night dive). Seeing new species, such as the arabian angelfish, blue grouper, and napoleon fish was also nice. As well, the gorgonias were larger than anything I had seen elsewhere. Also, the scenery above the water along the Red Sea was very interesting. I plan to come back for my diving in the future.
