Lots of Basslets, Chromis, Damsels, Butterflyfish and wrasse ... with dolphins, sharks and turtles... all around, have it all experience!!!

Snorkeling with dolphins tops the list. Seemingly endless colonies of mountain, favia, acropora corals, hosting many many fishes including school of juvenile fishes also another highlight ... There are so many that I cannot list here. But to name a few, Sargent, Blenny, Angel, Squirrel, Bigeye, Sliverslide, Needlefish, Lionfish, Pipefish, Parrotfish, Goby, Groupers, Snowflake eel, Moral eel, Surgeon fish ... On corals, acropora, milipora, mountain coral, fire and dome corals, Fungia, Giant Metalic clam, Anemone with clownfish, etc etc. Lastly, we could not see hammerhead but rather friendly? white tip sharks.

Support during gearing up - (help with the wetsuit, drinks), after dive - (hot towel, drinks, hanging of wetsuit and equipment), fast cleaning up of cabin - all impressed me. I wish all liveaboards and dive shops in the world do what they do (great support on deck). So divers can concentrate on the diving. Thanks a lot!!!

Excellent Red Sea Liveaboard

We were lucky enough encounter hammerhead sharks on many dives, including two dives during which a group of hammerheads circled us for 20 minutes. The BDE itinerary is excellent for spotting pelagics, and we saw other shark species, mantas and even a whale shark as well. Aggressor is a solid liveaboard experience. Food is good, the crew is great and the boat is in very good condition.

Fantastic overall experience!

Could not have wished for better food, the chef was fantastic! Many of the other guests said it was the best food they've had on a liveaboard. I rented my gear since I'm a fairly new diver and had no problems at all with the rental gear which was In very good condition. Only thing that I think could be improved is to always have two diveguides when there are 12+ divers in the water (they had two diveguides at most dive sites but not all). The staff is fantastic with a super high level of service. Very friendly and always helpful if/when you need them!! Book with confidence!

Incredible first time diving experience in a liveaboard

This was our first time on a liveaboard experience. It was definitely a memorable one. From the time we arrived until our departure we felt like family. The crew is definitely a big part of a liveaboard experience. The crew went above and beyond what we've ever experienced in our diving experience. We almost felt like toddlers being dressed before our first day of school. It felt like our mom was always around to make sure we were hydrated and warm. All throughout the 6 days of diving, the crew were consistently on hand to zip up your wetsuit as needed, strap your fins, assist with your BCD, defog your mask and double check your gear after your dive buddy has already checked you out. The steward serves you water before you jump into the blue and warm hot chocolate when you get back on the boat. A warm towel is draped on you immediately after they've assisted you in removing your wetsuit. And they immediately wash and store your gear back in your assigned crate. We can almost say, that they literally do everything except equalize and achieve neutral buoyancy for you. These guys have spoiled us rotten aboard the Red Sea Aggressor 1 dive safari in Egypt. The dive masters were very knowledgeable and pleasant and always on hand to assist and answer any question one might have. We took our advanced open water and nitrox certifications during the week and it was worthwhile. As for the boat itself, it was quite spotless but we just had trouble flushing the cabin toilet which they said was normal for the boat. In terms of the diving, we expected to see pelagic fish but only saw one thresher shark and silky sharks swimming around the boat one night. This however is beyond the operator's control since we came out of season for hammerheads, oceanic white tip sharks which we had hoped to see in this trip. The food served went beyond our expectations! It's a conundrum how the resident chef could turn out gastronomical delights from such a small kitchen. We even had a full roasted turkey with the trimmings on one of the evenings. Crème brulee, bread pudding, steak, etc. we could go on & on but suffice it to say, that we were never left wanting. This was a true dive, eat, & sleep experience. We highly recommend this experience and hope to do one again soon with Aggressor fleet.

Recommended for: Boat was spotless. Service was A+. Got blessed with awesome new friends!

One amazing dive trip :-)

I went on a six day diving trip aboard the Red Sea Aggressor 9-15 April. They offer 5 dives a day! We were up at 6am and diving by 6:30am; finishing the night dive by 8pm with the formal dinner starting at 8:30pm. Only one of our group received the Iron-Man metal for doing all the dives. The sea was temperature was 75F. The wind blew hard the first couple of days which hurt visibility; but when the winds stopped later in the week, the visibility turned excellent! We saw hammerhead sharks, manta rays, octopus, Spanish dancer, turtles and lots of coral and sponges. And the biggest treat of all was making my first dive ever with a pod of dolphins. Very enjoyable trip!

The best week of diving I've had in a long time!

It is only a small gesture, but when coming out of the water after the 4. dive, slightly freezing, getting wraped in a warm towel and being handed a delicious drink, - thats just awesome! The different dive spots are well picked (southern itinerary, Elphinstone, Daedalus, Claudia..). I'm very fond of the detailed briefings as well as how good the staff took care of our equipment. Also, our Steward Ali always turned our (sometimes messy) room into a comfy and clean retreat. The food on board is a good mix between local and international cuisine. I ate way too much, and I don't regret it :) This was definitely not my last trip with Aggressor. They promise Dive-Eat-Sleep and that's exactly what you get!

Recommended for: Very comfortable boat, super friendly and attentive staff, very well organised diving trips.

Red Sea is a coral garden full of life

The Red Sea is mandatory in a diver's curriculum. Having this experience surrounded by good professionals in a good boat, with an excellent crew is fundamental to add value to this experience. Excellent week with about 20 dives in a sea with the most beautiful coral in the world. We saw hammerhead sharks, napoleons, oceanic white tips, mantas, ... relaxed dips of low difficulty level.

An extremely enjoyable break diving in the Red Sea

The diving at St John's is fantastic, personally I preferred it to the pinnacle sites (Daedalus, the Brothers, etc). Also this is the first boat I've been on where they specifically planned dive times to avoid the guests from other boats in the water. The crew went the extra mile at every opportunity, making a little celebration out of milestone dives (500th for me) and overall the attention to detail and service was better than other liveaboards I've done.

This was our first trip to the Red Sea, and with so much to see, we are certain to return again soon!

We knew that we were not going at the high season for the large pelagics, and military exercises prevented us from making it to St. Johns, but the abundance, variety, and uniqueness of life on the reefs was stunning. Snorkeling with a pod of Spinner dolphins on the third day was also a quite a treat.

Great diving in amazing comfort!

Diving was good, with quite a few sharks sightings, and beautiful coral. The weather didn't let us dive Elphinstone, but Brothers and Deadalus were up to their reputation. What amazed us though was the attention to details from the crew, with hot dry towels after every dive, right out of your wetsuit, a fresh juice, and they do everything for you, including rinsing your camera and wersuit and put it to dry after everydive! Little things that make the trip so much nicer. The price however is a lot higher than their competition. Big advantage as well is that you do 4 dives a Day instead of 3 on other boats. Up to you to decide if it is worth it for you.
