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.

Excellent livaboard
All the dives sites were fantastic, the crew were amazing and the food was delicious. The cabin was very comfortable. Overall, an amazing week diving in the red sea. Highlights during diving were the hammerheads, silky sharks and manta rays. Some of the other divers saw oceanic white tips. The crew went above and beyond to make this trip amazing. Thank you to Mousa, Moustafa, Reda, Abou El Hassan, Ashraf, Sambo , Eid, Ibrahim, Hassan, Omda (ya basha!), Mohamed, Islam, Mahdy and anyone else I have missed.

Excellent!!!
This was such a comfortable boat to be on for the week. The crew did everything to make our time in and out of the water perfect. The dives were fantastic with visibility that went on for days. A particular highlight was during a reef dive when a pod of 8 dolphins came by and played with us for several minutes then left, then returned to play some more. All of the food was terrific and and the desserts were wonderful. (having a pastry chef as part of the crew took it to the next level) Free wifi and free nitrox just added to the already great value. Highly recommended.

Amazing dive trip, would recommend again and again :)
Many of the guests actually were on the boat a second or third time as they loved it so much which I completely understand. I will rebook the Ghazala Explorer as well when I want to return to the Red Sea as it was an amazing trip. The dive locations were just brilliant combined with a super friendly crew and the high level of comfort of the boat overall (from cabin to lounge to sun deck to diving deck) created a great dive trip.
