You can hardly put it into words, you have to experience it with this crew and this ship => unique and 100% recommendation!
Great route choice of the captain - we were mostly alone at the dive spots. Even at the Thistlegorm, where we were lucky enough to do three dives, there was not a single boat on site - Amazing! The whole crew was excellent - the kitchen conjured up a great buffet, snacks with smoothies and all kinds of delicacies where you wonder how they do it ;o). The service was great, the diving suit was already in place, help with getting dressed and the fun was not missing - and as soon as you were out of the water, the diving suit was already washed and hung up while you were spoiled by a hot or cold drink. The three guides were great! Extremely competent, perfect briefings and you got a lot of background knowledge about the history of the wrecks. Even unguided you could go - where after the briefings you could choose the division of the group/dive guide - we didn't miss anything!

Sensational! We will be back!
Thank you to the Ghazala Explorer team for an amazing liveaboard trip — we had an incredible time! Safety: First of all, safety on this boat is absolutely paramount. Safety drills and muster were conducted, and they have a huge first-aid kit in case you’ve forgotten or missed anything yourself. Dive Guides: A highly professional team. They even helped me with a faulty HP hose while we were in the marina. A big shout-out to Moustafa, Haithem and Hendy — we loved diving and socialising with you all! Every day, the guides ensured that everything was okay with your cabin, gear, food, etc. The dive briefs were very interesting and gave you the confidence to do unguided dives if you chose to. Another note: the dive courses are extremely reasonably priced if you want to level up your qualifications. Crew: So helpful! They do everything for you — helping you in and out of your gear, hanging your gear and keeping the boat spotless. The captain also took us out on snorkelling excursions, which was fantastic. And the interior crew — wow! Your cabin was spotless after every dive! The food was fantastic, and the chefs were wonderful. They also celebrate every occasion on the boat, which made it feel really special. The Boat: Every detail has been considered. There are so many charging areas — a dedicated one for batteries, another for cameras, and USB ports in the saloon. The dive deck is extremely well organised and has separate wash bins for your gear. They even put a wash solution in the wetsuit wash bin so that it smells nice! Every cabin has its own hanging area for towels on the dive deck, and the cabins have so much storage. If you’re sharing a cabin, you have equal amounts of storage in both the bathroom and cabin — I was genuinely impressed! Even the towels are labelled! They provide a dressing gown, a diving towel and bathroom towels. Diving: Stunning! I loved every single dive. Our highlights were the Thistlegorm and Giannis D, as well as our incredible encounter with dolphins while diving — followed by having the dolphins in our own cove for another hour of snorkelling! We also loved the night dives. There were so many creatures we hadn’t seen before. We will be back! And next time, it will be on board an Ocean Tribe boat. Many of the guests on our boat had been on the Explorer multiple times, and after our experience, we can absolutely see why! Thank you again to the entire Ghazala Explorer team for an unforgettable trip.

From beautiful reefs to impressive wrecks
It was a wonderful trip. I was a bit worried at first because it was my 1st liveaboard, but it was taken away from me very quickly. Fantastic experience, I would want to do such a trip again with the ship. Next year the BDE Tour probably.

This is the one to be on when diving in the Red Sea!!
It was an amazing trip! The crew (led by the captain, Mustafa and Haitham) made this an incredible experience. The safety on the boat and during the dives were a priority! Everyone was super friendly and supportive. The chef accommodated my diet and came up with different meals for me every day and for each meal! Highly recommend this boat for your unforgettable memories in the Red Sea!

Great Red Sea adventure
Great Red Sea diving with an awesome liveaboard and its crew! Everything was well organized with nothing to complain about. The crew was very helpful at all times. Food was always delicious with plenty of variety. A special shout-out to the dive guides, very knowledgeable of the sites/currents/conditions and adjusting as needed based on the conditions at the current moment.
