perfect Egypt vacation also for young female solo travellers
I am quite young (23) for a live aboard but I felt completely save and well guided. The food and infrastructure, planing etc was perfect. The safety (like fire drills) was also great. The underwater world was various and beautiful

Trip of a lifetime! This will now become a yearly trip. Perfect in every way!
Probably the best dive trip I’ve ever been on! Everything was perfect, from start to finish. Safety onboard/underwater is incredible, the guides were amazing, the boat crew were SO helpful and the food was incredible. Will definitely be back next year.

A very memorable experience
All of the different marine life that I have never seen before. All of the people that I met that were so friendly. All of the new information and other recommended places to go diving. All of the new diving tips and skills that I learned from the other divers.

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.

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.

Unbeatable value for money for our first liveaboard
The trip was very well organized, we were a great group in which there was a good atmosphere every day.The guides and crew were insanely attentive, helpful and friendly. The food was incredibly tasty and plentiful. The chef has always conjured up great creations, especially at the Chef's Dinner.We drove to great spots where we met turtles, manta rays and hammerhead sharks (unfortunately the visibility was not the best, but no one came for it)! The beds were a bit hard and short but fine for a week. The best thing was the hot shower after diving in the water, which is quite cold at this time of year (April).The only thing we would have liked was that we would have been informed that there would be no reception for three days, so that we would have the opportunity to let us know at home. The wifi on board was basically not the best (which is relaxed on vacation).Overall a very great experience for our first liveaboard!!

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.

Discover Red Sea underwater within a great atmosphere
Great experience discovering Red Sea key diving areas. The management of the dives could be improved by reducing the groups’ size thus enabling higher diving flexibility
