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.

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!

Highly recommend for advanced diving. Best boat in the Red Sea.
Our first live aboard experience was extremely memorable and I'm happy it was on the GE. The boat is new, and it's facilities are both comfortable and make diving extremely easy. Advanced diving, but the guides made it accommodating for us. There were many people with twin sets and side mounts, etc. I will be using GE if I come back to the Red Sea and would recommend 100%

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.

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.
