5* trio already booked again !!
Could not fault Discovery liveaboards in fact I booked another trip as soon as me and my partner arrived home . Guides , boat crew , chef all excellent and made you feel very welcome . Highlights always going to be the wreck Thistlegorm which we where so lucky to be diving alone on one of our afternoon dives at the site , so surreal !! And a 20 minute diving encounter with a dolphin . All in all highly recommend

Delivered all and more than I expected of a Red Sea liveaboard adventure.
A very enjoyable liveaboard experience. Good pace, mostly impressive and varied dive site selections of sensible duration. As expected, SS Thistlegorm was a highlight although very busy with divers but again a sensible decision to allow self-guiding for experienced divers helped with congestion. Seeking possible shark sites proved to be productive too as the illusive Thresher sharks sighted. Diving from main vessel and zodiac boats added variety.
- Recommended for
- Diving activities with group and other guests - self-guiding opportunities. Revisiting SS Thistlegorm Wreck. Thresher & Oceanic Whitetip shark sightings.

Nice dives with lots of fish, unfortunately no big fish seen
Super great dives on the north route. Nice dive spots without many other boats with divers. Looked flexible. 3 Nightdives. Very tasty and varied food. Very great crew - always helpful. The captain was super friendly and always laid out for a joke. The guides had done a good job. :)

Hurghada (Brothers, Daedulus, Elphinstone)
This liveaboard exceeded our expectations. It was our first one and we were very impressed by the friendly guides and crew plus excellent safety standards. We saw some beautiful sea life including mantas and hammerheads. Overall, 10/10.

Exceptional diving with an outstanding and attentive crew.
The crew made the best of every opportunity. At one dive site there was a large pod of dolphins nearby. As we surfaced from our dive, the crew picked us up in the zodiacs and we followed the Dolphins throughout the area. It was an unplanned adventure that we all enjoyed thoroughly. The diving was breathtaking - fish in abundance and reefs that were extraordinary.

Great tour BDE, great dive spots, also saw sharks, thresher sharks and hammerhead sharks and that deep blue. Mega! I felt safe.A lot of time was always taken for the briefing. 👌 2 times there were also waves, but with the Egyptian tablets on board no problem. 😁
