Highlights
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.

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.

Best liveaboard
The boat is one of the best in Egypt. Staff are great throughout the whole team. The dives sites were amazing, so much to see. Dive briefs were detailed and constantly checking for current ensured we knew what to expect.

Outstanding.
Excellent trip as first time on liveaboard. The staff work extremely hard, constantly trying to make your experience better and easier. There was 19 staff including dive guides for 32 guests which is crazy good for a ratio. The boat is kept very clean. Every briefing they ask if there is any issues with the cabins to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. Safety is there first priority which is comforting. Everyone gets a GPS and is shown how to use it. There is no cellphone service/wifi once you are at Elphinstone or Deadalus which is actually great as it makes everyone put the phones away and have conversation. I’d really recommend this boat to anyone who wants to do the BDE route. Our week was exceptional thanks to the crew.

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!

Simply wonderful!
We were with the Ocean Lovers at the Brothers Islands, Daedalus and Elphinstone. The week was absolutely magical! The whole crew is doing an incredibly good job, around the clock. Nothing was missing and questions or concerns were responded to immediately. The whole atmosphere on board was very good and pleasant throughout the week, we felt incredibly comfortable from the first moment. The food was one of the highlights! Better than some restaurants. The dive guides did a great job, they were very patient but still determined and made sure that everyone followed the rules, which made being together very pleasant. We can only recommend the Ocean Lovers!

Amazing, nothing but positive to say and high recommend for all!! 5 star!!!!
The trip, the boat, the food, the diving and the guides were amazing. Best boat and trip I had been on. Even though 30 divers, the guides organised it great and the boat was big so always felt like lots of space to chill and get ready to dive. The boat was clean and lovely, cabins great and social areas great. The food was all amazing and lots of variety! Pick up and drop of transfers great and boat being in marina is great. Dive guides were great and diving amazing. Always happy to help and when we said and shown we were experienced they were happy to be flexible. If can offer unguided as well as guide where possible would be perfect. Will fully recommend and plan to come again next year on same boat
