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!

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.

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.

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.

Great itinerary on a nice boat with a lovely crew
Our cruise director Reda‘s dive briefings were the best and most extensive I‘ve ever experienced. Especially in preparation for the various wreck dives (including three dives at Thistlegorm, one of these as a night dive), his clear instructions, drawn maps of the most favourable path through the wrecks and photos of junctions and key points made it really easy to have relaxed and unguided dives. The food was delicious, there was even a designated dessert chef on board. All of the crew were dedicated to provide the guests a great experience, they were friendly and seemed quite happy with their profession. What sets Ghazala Explorer apart from most liveaboards in the red sea is their all inclusive approach: no hidden costs like „port fees“ or „fuel surcharges“, even Nitrox is included in the posted price. The only things to pay on board were alcoholic beverages, canned sodas and espresso capsules. That ist a very customer friendly pricing policy that truly deserves our support. This won‘t have been my last trip with this lovely crew on this great boat!

Wonderful experience
The crew did a great job accommodating special dietary needs. The dive masters were super - very helpful with pointers and advice and we felt they took very good care of us as newbies, especially in the somewhat challenging Red Sea wrecks.
