I look back on a fantastic week.

My 15th liveaboard and by far the best. The welcome was warm, the crew is extremely helpful and friendly. The dives are well briefed and supervised. Those who wanted to could dive unaccompanied. Always felt safe. Even though I had done this tour 4 times, they still showed other reefs. The boat was quite comfortable and neat. It is also nice that there are plenty of sunbeds in the sun so that you can warm up between dives now that it was a bit colder season. Wide range of decent towels and bathrobe when you get out of the water and stand in the wind. After the dive, the crew was ready to help you take off your wetsuit, they rinsed it for you and hung it up which is nice when you are shivering from the cold. The food was tasty and varied. There was also always a fruit basket that was replenished daily. A big plus was the coffee machine with delicious coffee that is included. That also brings me to the fact that there are no hidden costs.

An Unforgettable First Liveaboard Experience

This was my first liveaboard trip, and I originally chose the Ghazalla Explorer because I saw it was the top-rated boat—and those ratings were absolutely right! The fact that most of the divers onboard were returning guests, some for the third time or more, says everything about how good this boat really is. The crew and the dive masters were incredibly friendly, extremely helpful, highly professional, and genuinely kind. The food was excellent. I had brought plenty of snacks with me just in case—I’m a bit of a picky eater, especially with sweets—but I didn’t touch anything I brought until the very end of the trip. That’s how good the meals were! The weather, the dive deck, the dive sites, and even the fellow divers were all fantastic. I’m really happy I booked this trip at the last minute, and I’m definitely coming back again—I honestly cannot wait to book again and try the north itinerary!

Excellent sevice from both dive instructors and crew, very attentive.

I'm a warm water diver so this was my first cold water dive (20C). Jumped in with a 5mm and was comfortable. The briefing was detailed and the dive was great with all the instructors. Before and after the dive the crew would help use gear up and off after the dive. There was so much food and all of it was excellent thanks to the chiefs. This was my first all wreck dive and the stories behind the ships made it even more interesting. I had a double room cabin in the upper deck. It was clean and quit. I would come again and highly recommend the Ghazala Explorer.
