The crew are WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD!!!
The service by the crew on the boat by far made the trip amazing, they all deserve a medal! They work incredibly hard; Shawki with his beautiful and kind nature and always always ready to offer help and great conversations I considered him a friend by the end of the week, Salem with his amazing guiding and adapting the dives so I didn't ever get bored he was a joy to spend time with underwater, Zizo always so friendly and easy to chat to which is nice as I travelled alone also a great dive guide and incredibly chill and relaxed underwater, Khalil always giving good and thorough briefings. Mohamed who served us the meals and always had the biggest smile I've ever seen on someone (he was like my little brother by the end of the week!), Mohammed Nasser who was very sweet and cheeky dive deck helper, Mahmoud always so polite and incredibly respectful he made the best drinks for sunset and kept my cabin so clean and tidy despite my messiness! Captain Hussen who let me chill at the bridge and hang out, Hamada the Cpt's assistant possibly the friendliest person I've ever met and I had so many nice chats with. Ahmed on the dive deck always being cheeky and making jokes, I promise one day to say your name right! Mustafa who was very quiet but so friendly and helpful on the dive deck always helping me with my gear. Assam the daytime engineer who filled the tanks and gave me a tour of the engine room was very kind! Huge thank you to Chef Abdo for making me all the vegan dishes and delicious Egyptian breakfast at my request! And Chef Waleed always including me for a dessert everyday even though I know how hard making vegan desserts are! I've definitely missed some people off as I couldn't get everyone's names. Honestly the reason I would return for another Aggressor trip and also return to the Aggressor V would be for the crew, I hope you read this to everyone one of them and tell them they are WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD! They are a credit to Aggressor and all deserve a pay rise! Throughout the week they worked tirelessly to ensure that everything went smoothly and the guests didn't have to lift a finger. Having worked on multiple liveaboards myself I was very impressed at how well they all worked together, there was no drama, no fights, they all had respect for each other as well as the guests and even though they worked day and night no task was too large. I wish I could have tipped them more so I write this review as my extra tip in the hopes that it reaches them. I was also very impressed at how spacious the cabins were, beautiful views from the window, large rainfall shower in the bathroom, very happy!

- THE CREW!!!!. The dive guides adapting the dives so I could be away from the less experienced divers, made the dives more enjoyable for me and meant I didn't have to look after anyone.. The swim throughs, a couple of dives where we had all the swim throughs, so much fun!.

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.

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.

Really recommended, one of the best boat I have been.
The boat is huge and very well organized, we only had problems with AC that was not working for couple of days. The crew was nice and attentive. We had very bad visibility during the trip but still managed to do nice dives.

Wonderful trip and beautiful dives
Very nice liveaboard diving on a new boat. It has been very hot so the boat deserves to have more shady corners. Very nice comfortable room. Since I am Swiss and the Swiss are known to be demanding in cleaning/maintenance: I would advise (so that the materials also last longer) to clean the rust traces weekly in the cabinet under the sink since the boat is still new.
