Top diving experience
Spent a fantastic week on the BDE route with Grand Discovery. Encountered both several hammerheads and Oceanic whitetip. The crew and dive guides were highly professional. The briefings were detailed and safety-oriented. The dive deck was greats with plenty of space and a great layout. Food, cabins, and onboard facilities (like the upper deck jacuzzi) were excellent. Will definitely choose Discovery Divers again!

An incredible experience. Would highly recommend Grand Discovery!
The entire liveaboard experience was phenomenal. From the arrival to the airport waiting for pickup until the check-out after the liveaboard, everything was arranged to perfection. The crew was extremely helpful and friendly throughout the tour and were able to answer any questions and went above and beyond to accommodate any request. The route was perfect for the time of year as it wasn't quite the season for larger wildlife yet, for which all the wrecks (highlight: Thistlegorm!) made up for plenty. The rental gear was in top shape and looked well-maintained. The boat was brand new and very comfortable. The cabin was super nice as well. The food was incredible too: varied, fresh, and delicious throughout the week, compliments to the chefs on board!

Very good diving with a professional and friendly crew.
The service was top quality the whole time. The itinerary had to be changed due to a wind storm, but this is understandable (and desirable) because the captain and crew will always prioritize the safety of the passengers. The alternative itinerary was still enjoyable. The instructors were always present and coordinated every dive with great detail. I was hoping to see more sharks/pelagic in this itinerary, but this depends mostly on luck and the guides did their best to take us to the interesting locations. Food was not "mind blowing" (as I have experienced in other liveaboards) but the buffet was very abundant and varied so I can't really complain about it. The only coffee included is the "instant" kind, I would love to see brewed coffee as included. Dinner on the last night and breakfast on the last morning were included, this is a huge plus point when compared to other liveaboard operators who don't offer this. The ship is luxurious though I noticed the electricity shutting down a couple of times per day, this would last less than a minute so I guess it is not a big deal. The cabins are clean and comfortable. The crew was assisting me up until the moment I got on the (included) transportation to the airport. I recommend the experience and I would dive again with Discovery without thinking twice.

Great experience
Overall great experience. This was my first liveaboard and I could have not asked for more. Decided to do my AOWD as well which I did not regret at all. Dive guides, Malaak, Khaled and Ramadan did a great job, as well as the rest of the crew. Will Dede do a Discovery divers trip again in the next months.

Wonderful first experience in Egypt
As a first timer on a liveaboard I couldn’t have chosen a better boat! Incredible crew and dive guides, very attentive and professional, but also easygoing as if you were part from the first moment of their big family. Excellent planning in the BDE route, as they programmed some shallow dives to relax a little between all the deep dives (which are 90-95% of all the dives). Excellent, high quality food, consistent all through the duration of the liveaboard. Highly recommended even as your first liveaboard, but perhaps not exactly fit for beginners as strong current changes can occur and high buoyancy control is necessary in some of the dives

- Crew friendliness. Exceptional food. Great route planning.
