Every day and night were highlights that will be forever remembered with excitement and joy!
Would do this again and again. The fellow dive guests were lovely people and great to dive with. The guides Hamza and Ahmid were absolutely amazing and so thorough in the dive briefings and dive sites. The food was fantastically scrumptious at every course served. The dive crew from helping us with our gear, to food presentation was top notch! Every day and night were a highlight!

The SS Thistlegorm and the Big Brothers were my diving highlights. The constant helpfulness of the crew and the insanely good food on offer rounded everything off.

Fantastic Trip
I did the North Tour at the end of August with Contessa, and saying I had a wonderful time would be an understatement. I was a solo diver and it was my first liveaboard experience, but from the moment I arrived I was made to feel welcome and comfortable. The boat itself is quite nice, comfortable, clean and well maintained but what really stood out were the crew who are very polite and attentive to your every need, with a special shout out to the chef who was cooking amazing tasty food for us everyday. Now the diving itself is a mix of shallow and deep dives and I enjoyed every minute of it, the dive sites are all wonderful and well planned, and I especially enjoyed the night dives, the ones that stood out were the Thistlegorm and Ras Mohamed. I want to thank the dive guides Emad, Mohamed and Ahmed who were very friendly, knowledgeable and always prepared to offer any help needed, the dive briefings were also very informative and enjoyable, we even got to watch a documentary about the Thistlegorm which was a very nice touch. Finally safety wise the crew take safety very seriously, we had a drill when we first arrived to go through what we need to do in case of an emergency and we were shown the exit and lifeboats, I felt quite safe throughout with fire extinguishers visible and exists clearly marked. The captain is very capable and I felt we were always in good hands. Also bear in mind that the weather can be quite unpredictable but safety is always paramount and they will cancel dives or change dive sites if necessary to avoid safety concerns. Overall it was a surreal experience and I wish I repeat it every week, but c'est la vie.

Everything about the trip was amazing. Delicious food, friendly Crew, in depth & safety oriented dive briefings and practices, and of course the marine life that we saw including tresher & hammerhead sharks. Thank you to the Sea Serpent Fleet for making this an unforgettable experience!

Boat and crew at the top.
Accurate liveboard booking processing with good communication.We are taken care of as soon as we get off the plane (loan visa + transfer)Welcome and personalized installation on board.The cabin is very clean and comfortable. Towels and bathrobe available.The organization of the dives is perfect: Choice, Full briefing with slideshow. There is always someone to help us prepare before and when we return.Underwater, the dive guide is present, we are in a group on the drop-offs but on the wrecks we are let manage our dive (time, penetration or not), especially since we were only 2 in the air. The other Nitrox 30. (Nitrox qualification essential for comfort dives).On board everything is always clean, the cabins are cleaned several times a day.The meals are varied and of excellent quality.Available 24 hours a day hot drinks, water, coke, and biscuits.There is enough space on the decks to rest.The transfer at the end of the stay is perfect.In short, an excellent stay.The water is at 28°, 2 first dives in 3mm, but finally all the others in 5mm... It was better for 4 dives a day.Lots of wind, don't forget a hat or equivalent for the ears.We will be back....

Despite the cold weather, the warmth of the crew and guides made it a memorable experience.
The great red sea with it's colourful reef coral always leaves an unforgetable memory. Egyptian hospitality through the crew and the guides was positively overwhelming, the boat is in perfect condition, every aspect of our comfort was accounted for. The diving was great, the beautiful red sea coral gardens and reefs is like no other. I would like to thank the crew and the guides for the great time we had on the boat and diving.
