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.

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 diving from an excellent boat
Having been on quite a few liveabords by now I can confidently say this has been the best one so far. The ship's general layout is the same as most liveaboard boats in the red sea, but the attention to detail and many thoughtful details really made a difference (plenty of charging outlets, plenty of drying space etc.). The crew has been amazing - extremely professional and always there to help with absolutely anything about your diving day to an extent that even seemed funny at times - like it's okay, I can grab my water bottle myself, but thank you for handing it to me ;). The same goes for the two dive guides - extremely experienced, they could probably navigate through the dive sites with their eyes closed and made sure to point out all the details that were easy to miss. At the same time, they gave the most thorough briefings I have ever encountered and made safety a top priority I particularly loved how the team was able to accomodate a request for an uncommon dive site during the trip. The food has been very tasty, varied and plentiful, but to be fair, this goes for every liveaboard I have been on ;). So thanks a lot guys, I will certainly try to book this boat in particular for future red sea trips.

Colorful north Red Sea diving
Red Sea diving was better than I expected. Visibility was great and corals were colorful. Enjoyed diving in such close proximity to the dolphins also.

Amazing liveaboard built by and for divers
Don’t hesitate to book a week diving the Red Sea on the Ghazala Explorer. We had an AMAZING time. It’s a new vessel built by one of the boat’s excellent dive guides, whose father and uncle were Red Sea divers and who started diving himself as a kid. They know what they’re doing. We had an epic week of diving on the Southern route. Saw lots of sharks and other critters on a beautiful and pretty healthy reef system. Food was good and plentiful, and the crew just busted their a**es every day to take care of us and make our week memorable. Book it—you won’t have any regrets. A few notes: It’s generally best to bring cash to Egypt and make sure the bills aren’t damaged. There’s beer aboard but BYOB for anything else. If you are a less experienced diver, consider the Northern route as the South features a lot of deep, somewhat challenging dives.
