A fantastic Red Sea adventure with professional dive operations, friendly crew, and top-notch service throughout.
I recently joined a liveaboard on Sea Serpent Excellence, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The communication before departure was excellent, with very clear and detailed instructions about the meeting point and check-in process, making arrival smooth and completely stress-free. The crew were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. Their professionalism, positive attitude, and dedication to guest comfort made the entire trip enjoyable. The dive briefings were comprehensive and well organized. Before each dive, the guides clearly explained the dive plan, site conditions, safety procedures, and key points of interest, ensuring everyone felt well prepared and confident in the water. The food on board was excellent, with a wide variety of delicious meals served throughout the trip. There was always something to enjoy between dives as well, with cookies, fresh fruit, and soft drinks constantly available in the lounge, which was a thoughtful touch and greatly appreciated after time in the water. Overall, it was a safe, comfortable, and exceptionally well-organized liveaboard experience. From the clear pre-trip communication and professional dive operations to the outstanding crew and excellent food, everything exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the incredible diving of the Red Sea and would happily sail with them again.

Fantastic first liveaboard experience
I genuinely enjoyed my first liveaboard experience on the sea serpent excellence. The boat was in great condition and the crew went out of their way to make all the guests feel cared for and comfortable. The cabin, especially the bathroom, was well maintained and provided room to recharge. The boat itself was spacious, with lots of different places to find a spot away from the sun. The diving was safe, varied and the guides did their best to support the divers of varying experience. We saw hammerhead sharks and mantas and enjoyed spotting dolphins during our surface intervals. Can't wait to dive with sea serpent again :)

A great trip
Great trip. Wonderful diving and we were very well fed. Dive guides were knowledgeable and gave us confidence. The diving can be advanced (I’m a PADI instructor) so you’ve got to be confident with your buoyancy and be fit to manage current. Also practice your DSMB skills. I’ll be back next year. Great trip.

Nice trip but do your research
Although we overall enjoyed our stay on the sea serpent excellence with the staff being quite amazing we feel that customers should be informed about the amounts of other boats and divers on the dive sites, in our case up to 16 large vessels on the same site which of course effects the marine life and coral.

I could do this trip three more times and still not come close to seeing everything or getting board.
This was the first liveaboard trip I conducted. I could not ask for a better crew or dive guides. The wrecks were phenomenal sites to see! The abundance of life was absolutely breathtaking.

A well-rounded, beautiful and eventful week in sunny but cool January.
The most diverse turtles, the dolphin swim, the top diving gides, the helpful team and the serious captain. The warmth of the sun before the dive and the hot shower afterwards.
