The Ocean Lovers is a 45-meter/148-foot-long liveaboard with 5 decks taking 32 guests on dive safaris in the Red Sea. There are 10 double cabins and 6 suites with views, all air-conditioned and equipped with private showers and toilets. The saloon and dining area on the main deck is perfect for relaxing. Entertainment options include a 65-inch LCD TV, a DVD player, and a sound system. In addition, the Ocean Lovers offers free Wi-Fi throughout the ship as long as a mobile signal is available. The Ocean Lover's 2 sun decks are spacious, with sun loungers, lazy bags, hammock swing chairs, and a hammock swing. Ideal for relaxing between dives, reading a book, or enjoying the sunset. Part of the sun deck is shaded, so guests always have a choice of whether they prefer the sun or protection from the heat.

The Ocean Lovers offers the chance to explore the famous Red Sea wrecks and reefs, including the Tiran diving area, composed of four main reefs that form an underwater bridge near the Gulf of Aqaba. Named after British cartographers (Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, and Gordon), these reefs are famous for their coral life and large pelagic fish. Expect a combination of wreck and reef diving, with the Northern Red Sea boasting impressive wrecks like the SS Thistlegorm. Other sites include Abu Nuhas, the "Ships Graveyard," and the Brothers Islands, with their thriving marine life and colorful corals. Anticipate encounters with reef sharks, eagle rays, oceanic white tip sharks, Napoleon fish, thresher sharks, hammerhead sharks, grey reef sharks, and more.

All-round service and relaxed diving!
The Ocean Lovers and her crew was the best first experience for my first liveaboard. The crew is cleaning and caring for their ship every day. The kitchen offers everything your heart desires. The dive guides attach great importance to safety and the correct handling of the reef and its inhabitants.

Fantastic! Sign up for this boat and its crew without hesitation.
An unforgettable experience, the boat is beautiful and luxurious but the crew and guides are warm and without "fuss". Serious and professional when necessary, they are also funny and motivating. It was a real pleasure to spend this week aboard the Ocean Lovers. I fell in love with my guide, Samy, who allowed us to see dolphins, a thresher shark and who is the champion at flushing out moray eels, stone fish and scorpion fish.

Professional, relaxed and unforgettable wreck diving experience
This was my first North & Wrecks itinerary in Egypt despite many previous visits, and it turned out to be a very memorable experience. The Ocean Lovers offered a professional but relaxed atmosphere that worked especially well for a mixed group of newer and experienced divers. The dive briefings by Ali were excellent: detailed, calm and informative, particularly impressive considering this was his first week onboard. The dive guides also showed good judgment by adapting their level of supervision to the experience level of the group instead of applying unnecessarily rigid rules. The crew was consistently friendly and helpful, especially with gear setup and dismantling after dives. Food onboard was varied and genuinely very good throughout the trip. The upper deck cabins were spacious and comfortable, with excellent bathrooms and enough ventilation that air conditioning was rarely necessary during the nights. One small improvement would be additional storage space under the beds for empty luggage and bags. WiFi worked with occasional limitations, which is fairly expected on this route. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the night dive on the Thistlegorm. Exploring such an iconic wreck at night in a small unguided team was a rare and unforgettable experience.
Recommended for
Professional yet relaxed atmosphere onboard with a genuinely friendly international group and excellent dive guides.. Very good and diverse food throughout the trip, plus an extremely helpful crew always assisting with gear handling and setup.. The unforgettable night dive on the Thistlegorm, independently explored with two fellow divers from the group, easily one of the best dives of my life..

Fantastic liveaboard with excellent service and excellent food
The 7 days were an unforgettable event all around! Starting with the high level of comfort, the outstandingly friendly staff, the absolutely high quality food, the excellent dive guides and the breathtaking underwater world, this week was an absolute dream! Our group consisted of 6 people (4 motivated divers + 2 non-divers) and everyone got their money's worth during the week. Dive Instructor Sarah was very patient & enthusiastically guided our group every day - a clear recommendation on our part!!:) Colorful coral gardens, historic wrecks, beautiful sunrises as well as the Oceanic White-Tip Shark with countless fish species accompanied our trip. Note on billing: If you want to pay by card, the invoice amount will be increased by 2% and it will be billed in the local currency. Therefore, in our case, it would have been cheaper to have enough cash in euros with us.

High comfort, good vibes and challenging diving on the Ocean Lovers
Liveaboard with some challenging dives (only suitable for advanced divers), experienced dive guides who paid a lot of attention to everyone's safety, good-humored very helpful crew, very good food (for me there should have been more Arabic dishes, it was more continental food, but very well cooked) and high comfort on board. The other guests were very nice and open-minded. There was a very good atmosphere on board.

A luxury experience on water, unforgettable experience underwater
The boat, the room service, and the way the whole system of liveaboard was managed was truly exemplary. From making the rooms and cleaning them two times a day while we were out diving to cooking delicious food and having it ready when we got out of the water made the whole experience butter smooth. The dive guides were very knowledgeable, the crew felt like a family, and the trip was very well managed both by the operator and by liveaboard.com. Kudos!
