The boat will go after the next trip to the drydock this is good because some things have to be renewed. Deadalus, Brothers and Elphinstone were very nice locations and we saw many many sharks!

An all-round successful liveaboard with pleasant people, friendly crew, varied dive sites, good food and sharks in the second half.I found our cabin in the foreship to be a bit musty and small. Would choose one on the next trip. Otherwise, everything is fine and happy again.

Great staff, lovely boat
Dolphins chasing the bow waves, sunshine, great diving, such genuinely lovely crew members Spotless quiet relaxed boat My only slightly comment would be that I couldn't see evidence of recycling (maybe in the background?) and just too many desserts! They look good but some of them tasted a bit weird, I would just stick to the yummy cookies, fruit and maybe one fancy pudding?

Outstanding, the professionalism and friendliness of staff made the trip
The route seemed to promise the opportunity to see sharks and other pelagic species. It was so much more; superb dive guides ensured safety, we had close encounters with sharks and turtles, beautiful reefs, great food and comfort on boat. Most of all, crew was happy, helpful and hard working. Choose Sea serpent, from being met at the airport to return is 5 star.

Awesome trip
The trip on Sea Serpent was great (carefull: we were surprised to pay at the end of the trip 50€ fuel surcharge + 95€ euro unexpected surcharge, 35€ for a one dive used torch. All extras (including equipment rental and NITROX course) were increased by magical 3% and paid in Egyptian pounds with their own exchange rate...). Anyway, the boat was perfect, food of good quality and quantity, very nice and helpful crew and dive masters. Of course the diving sites were awesome with beautifull drops and corals and several shark encounters.

Boat for divers with few frills, often useless.
Having various liveaboard experiences, and not only in Egypt, I must say that I felt really good on the Sea Serpent. Not an excessively large boat, but not small, with everything tailored to the diver, nothing is really missing. Mooring in Port Ghaleb away from the evening noise of the bars and restaurants allowing you to rest on the two evenings of mooring. A lot of attention to safety both in the description of the boat and during the briefings, we also did the evacuation test for fire alarm. Friendly and accommodating crew. Varied and abundant cuisine, you will never be left on an empty stomach. Very good and prepared guides, well-conducted dives and almost always lasting 60 minutes. Nothing really bad on board, apart from maybe the very hard mattresses, I would definitely go back and indeed ... I'm already booking with them for November south route! My name is Andrea and I am a 67-year-old diver with some dives on my shoulders, patented Hypoxic Trimix.

Good experience
Wonderful trip overall. Dive guides were great, this route (st johns - elphin - dead) covers a lot of km’s so bit of motion sickness came with. Wish they had more vegan/veggie hot food options, more shade available on the boat, and a hand rail adjacent to the stairs going to the bottom cabins. Also the layout of the dining area is very cramped and awkward. Lastly, the last rooms of the bottom cabins have one bed that is elevated and a bathroom that is half the size, I don’t think these rooms should be sold for the same price as they’re a bit uncomfortable, I ended up sleeping outside most nights as it was just easier. Boat is a 5/10 for me, crew 10/10, diving 9/10.

Great week away
This was a great trip. Although We've been on plenty of liveaboards, we'd never been on a Sea Serpent boat before, so was slightly apprehensive. Needn't have worried as the boat was brilliant, the crew really friendly and helpful and a really good itinerary. My only minor gripe was that the dive guides, whilst allowing us to dive our own plan, were a little slow to let us do that, so a few too many guided dives for my liking. also one of the guides was a little inconsistent in what he did - the dives that were guided rarely followed the dive brief. That is a minor gripe though and for anyone who likes being guided, I'm sure that's not a problem.
