A week full of beautiful dives where everything around is just right!
The trip on the Ghazala Explorer was simply a complete success! The crew and guides were extremely accommodating and eager to make you feel completely comfortable. The dives are great and professionally planned, you feel safe at all times. There is no shortage of food either. In addition, it has an extremely good quality. It's amazing what the bosses were able to conjure up in a small ship's kitchen. The interior has recently been modernized and is tastefully designed. We had a very nice cabin on the upper deck.

From start to finish - Top
First of all - what can be done better? - To book two weeks on the ship. It was a great experience from start to finish. The pick up from the airport worked perfectly. On the ship I was warmly welcomed. The ship is great. The crew was always helpful and nothing was left to be desired. The food was delicious. The dive guides were all very knowledgeable and you felt very safe, even at unfamiliar dive sites. In summary, it was a very great trip and I am looking forward to the next one with Ghazala Explorer next year. Out of 100 points, I give the team, the ship and the dive guides 150 points. Thank you very much for everything and see you next time!Alexander

Exceeded Every Expectation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was our first livaboard and first time in the Red Sea. Every expectation we had was greatly exceeded. I cannot stress enough how wonderful, helpful, and friendly the entire crew was. The dive guides (Ahmed, Moussa, Khalil) were very knowledgeable and made all our dives enjoyable and low stress. They were so good at finding the hard to spot marine life! The sea men on the dive deck were incredible - they helped with every aspect of the pre and post dive (getting wet suits and BCDs on and off, getting out of the water, in and out of fins, etc). They were all so friendly and made the atmosphere fun and laid back. The food at every meal was incredible and plentiful. The chefs and pastry chef work tirelessly to give you a delicious meal every time. One of my favorite little details: After every dive before you even get your wetsuit off, you are handed a hot beverage which was such a nice touch. Of course the diving itself was beautiful. The reefs are so healthy; the visibility spectacular. We went to many different wrecks, saw lots of marine life, and it was a great blend of easy and more challenging dives, deep and shallow, wrecks and reefs. We would absolutely do this livaboard again.

Truly great Red Sea dive trip.
It's a very comfortable boat: large enough to have room to move around and be stable on the water, but small enough so divers can get to know one another. Cabins had plenty of room and storage space. New sites every day. Before each dive the briefings by a dive guide, with audiovisual assist, were complete and understandable. The deck staff both before and after the dives were everywhere assisting with gear and helping in any way they could. Always a snack and a drink waiting when we came up. My wife and I were encouraged to get nitrox certified and we did; looking at the nitrox log I saw that everyone else on the boat, now including us, were using nitrox blend. The reefs weren't the best I've seen, having dived in Belize and Palau and Roatan, among others, but they were always good and often amazing. The emphasis was on spotting pelagics and we did see some; I'm more of a reef and small critter person and could have used more of that. Since it was my first time there, I stuck with a guided group for almost all my dives and this generally went well; the guides were all pros and kept a good eye on us. Some interesting caves on some of the dives which gave nice variety. We took a RIB excursion to see dolphins up close but did not see any in the one place where we could actually get in the water with them, but the snorkeling was fun. Loved the night dives. Full days every day, up at 6 and in the water not long after, with dinner usually around 9 after the night dive, if there was one. Great food, a mix of Western and Egyptian that was tasty and varied, and there was plenty of it. They seemed proud of it and deservedly so.
