Deep South - Elba and St John
I recently did the Deep South itinerary on the Aggressor V, and overall, it was a very good trip. The boat itself is excellent – modern, clean, and comfortable. Cabins and amenities are top-notch, and the crew really made the experience stand out. They were professional, warm, and went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. The food was another highlight – consistently fresh, varied, and delicious. That said, getting there takes some effort. It’s about a 7-hour ride from Hurghada to Hamata port. The port itself is pretty bleak – a dilapidated pier with nothing around, and Aggressor seemed to be one of the very few boats operating from there. As for the diving, the Deep South is peaceful and quiet compared to the busier northern Red Sea. The reefs are less touched and less polluted, which is refreshing. I did see some sharks, though no mantas or whale sharks. The coral and marine life were nice, but nothing mind-blowing or dramatically different. St. John’s reefs were probably the most interesting and memorable of the itinerary. Overall, the Aggressor V itself and especially the crew made the trip a great experience. The Deep South offered a more serene, off-the-beaten-path feel, but if you’re expecting big-ticket sightings or world-class reefs, it may not quite live up to that. Still, for a well-run liveaboard with outstanding hospitality, this was a solid choice.

Best Red Sea Experience
The trip was outstanding, the chef, the captain, the boat guys, the guides,... i can't stress enough how professional they were. Everyone from the crew gave 150% to make our stay better. I was with this boat in October, and then decided it meets a standard to take my 14 year old kid (an experienced diver with 100+ dives, but still a kid) to this trip. starting from the cabins, spotless, squeeky clean, one day there was a problem with the flush, but it was handled in 7 minutes, it happens, we are on a boat. My kid was making his bed, and the crew remade it to aggressor standards. 2. The lounge areas...always stacked with drinks, coffee, water, ice, Mahmoud and Youseff were there almost too much to help us out and i think that they should work a bit less, but it seemed that they enjoyed spending time with us, and did not let us do anything ourselves, i hope they get a proper reward for that. 3. the decks...spotless, it was a pure enjoyment to use any of the decks, clean, comfy, close to the cabins... perfection4. Captain... the BEST captain i have ever sailed with, so fun, loving and willing to have fun with us, even though he had some tough sailing to do, he made it fun for us. music, dance, he was doing his job professionally and perfectly good, but made us feel at home.5. Boat crew - always helpful, there for us, and smiling, willing to help us out even though we just went out enjoying ourselves. We felt like millionaires with them. 6. cleanliness of the boat - there was not a part of the boat that was not as clean as it can be, cleaner than at homeThe restaurant - The Chef (and the pastry Chef as well) is the Kindest person on earth, the food was magnificent, i'm not a sweets guy, but my son said it was awesome. Everything was well prepared, cooked properly, served properly, again Mahmoud and Yousef were too kind during the meals, I think much too kind for some people, it was a pleasure and a privilege to share our meals with them. 7. The boat - the dive deck was perfect, it would in my opinion be good to make the buddy teams beforehand as it can eliminate crowding on the deck, but even if that happens, there will always be people from group 3 getting ready with group 1, that is just bad people and cant be controlled. 8- the guides - last but not least....your guides. They did everything to make our diving experience the most memorable one. They did everything they could to make this a trip of a lifetime. Their social skills, interacting with people, and finding the best dive plan for the masses was off the charts. Of course someone may complain, but that is because they are spoiled. The team did everything in their power to bring the red sea to us. Their smiles, experience and knowledge made us feel safe, made us enjoy, and come back with a smile. and hopefully come back to the aggressor once again, if you do something with the prices...that is not up to the guides, there should be a discount for returning customers. Now for the improvement points : There should be a shark briefing on every trip, they can be anywhere from Rocky, Zabargad, Habili Ali, Small Gota,;.... there should be a in depth briefing of shark behaviour, not because of me, because of people who are here for the first time. This should not be a "come one come all trip", i think that there should be a minimum of logged dives for this trip, the guides and the crew did their best to accommodate everyone, but i had a friend with just 15 dives before the trip and this was not a trip for her. So maybe it's better to make it a 40 dives minimum trip due to safely, currents, conditions, waves, aquatic life,.... All in all, this was an unforgettable trip, surrounded by great crew, guides, staff, people, with a couple of people that are just spoiled, but unfortunately we could not make them walk the plank for 2 reasons. 1. company policy :)2. there was no plank I hope to be back with aggressor ASAP and have this experience all over again.

Perfect service and comfort !
Very nice liveaboard. You really cover long distances, the Elba Reef is already at Sudan. However, we were lucky with the weather and the waves, so the way back was okay. All the more regrettable that we only dived for one day on the Elba reef!! We spent the last two days of diving in the area of Hamata. Snorkeling with dolphins was really awesome, but that could have been a good connection for the last day.All in all, a wonderful safari.

Amazing week with great diving itinerary
We had a great time on the Aggressor V. The crew was super friendly and helpful, they made our week great! The reefs in the deep south are full of life. The guides leave room for input and wishes from the guests which makes for a great, personal experience. Although depending on personal preference, we found the beds/mattresses to be too hard for us. Food (and deserts!!) were very good. We had a great week and we will for sure be back with Aggressor. Thank you again to the crew and guides for making this week!

Perfect week Deep South
Had a great time on Aggressor 5 this October. The dive sites are beautiful, not as crowded as BDE or Hurghada area. It was a perfect mix of reefs, walls, caves and a bit of wrecks. The visibility was fantastic throughout the trip, the water was worm, although we had some rough seas as the winds picked up at the south of the Red Sea. We had some sharks, although it seems that we were 2 weeks too early, maybe even more. the Thermocline was at around 45m on all the deeper dives that we had. Every night we had a night dive which was great. We saw hammerhead sharks, white tip reef sharks, octopus, Napoleon wrasse, lots of spotted stingrays, lots of moray eels (including two night dives where we had a privilege to watch them hunt and feed), nudebranches, Spanish dancers, and loads of small reef fish. the food on the boat was great, every meal was tasty, the dinners which were chaff choice were all great. we had food and drinks on every corner. The captain and the crew were awesome as well as the dive guides. we had 0 problems during the trip. if I could name 2 non diving highlights ...waking up at Zabargard island (if you are lucky to be on the port side and see it when you wake up, and swimming with spinner dolphins on Sataya reef. All in all, a perfect week, only downside is that it was only a week, and time flies when you are having fun.
