Snefro Dive tril
I had an amazing experience on this liveaboard and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great diving adventure. The boat was very comfortable, well maintained, and had everything we needed for a fantastic week at sea. The cabins and common areas were clean and comfortable, and the diving facilities were very well organized. The crew were absolutely fantastic — friendly, professional, attentive, and always ready to help. They created a great atmosphere on board and made us feel welcome from the very beginning. A special mention goes to the dive masters, who were excellent. They were knowledgeable, experienced, and always focused on safety while making sure everyone had a great diving experience. Their briefings were clear and informative, and they were very attentive to the different levels and needs of the divers. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, both above and below the water. Great boat, amazing crew, and excellent dive masters. I would definitely do this liveaboard again!

I'm absolutely happy with almost everything with the boat itself. The diving guide can be better by minding a bit more of his manners and caring more about his clients instead of judging for no reasons.

Amazing experience from start to finish. Was the perfect trip, every member of the crew were lovely and helpful. The dive guides were knowledgeable, the briefings interesting and I felt safe in their hands. The cabins were comfortable, air con good, food amazing and plentiful, but most of all we finally got to dive thistlegorm, with no other boats around. Fantastic experience, highly highly recommended to anyone thinking about trying a liveaboard. Thank you to everyone involved in making this a special adventure. Claire and Daren

The Best Experience!
Yousef and the rest of the live aboard crew were amazing! We somehow lucked out and were the only two booked for the sailing - and to our surprise - they still went ahead with the trip. Because it was just us, Yousef took our preferences into account and arranged for three dives on the Thistlegorm and one on the Dunraven. The reef dives were also enjoyable - the large schools of fish were impressive. Yousef provided a thorough safety briefing the first night of the trip and is a cautious and observant instructor. He understands his divers skill level and would not put any diver in a situation they are unable to handle. My husband was able to complete his Nitrox and Deep certifications on board after completing the theory part online which was convenient. The chefs on board accommodated my vegetarian diet. There was a large variety of delicious food after every dive. The boat is a little old but extremely clean. The crew went above and beyond for us throughout the trip. The trip exceeded our expectations and would recommend others to book with Snefro Pearl. Thanks to the crew for a wonderful experience!

Beautiful diving with an relax time at the boat!
We had a great time diving around Sharm El-Sheikh. The dive guides (Osama and Mustafa) were knowledgable and made great briefings and let the dives in a really good pace. The atmosphere on the boat was always cozy. The crew was helpful and were cleaning the boat constantly. The food was really tasty!

The boat crew made it for us!
The crew were something special... from the dive guides to the yound lads helping you gear up. Every single one went above and beyond! I have worked on liveaboards before so i know how much work goes on behind the scenes. Our boat was split into two dive groups according to our experience and alaa got this spot on. Both his and peters briefings were some of the best ive heard, ensuring everyone knew what was going on at all times. 10 out of 10!

First but definitely not last liveaboard ;)
It was my first liveaboard and 3 days were perfect for that. The Snefro Pearl is a nice little boat for max 12 divers, which is a perfect size. The crew and dive guides were super nice and always on hand if you had a question or needed help. The briefings were very professional and detailed with a lot of background knowledge, especially on the wreck of the Thistlegorm. And what the chef conjured up every day was phenomenal. Of course, the best thing is to do the first dive in the morning before breakfast at the most amazing dive sites without seeing another diver. Another highlight is that the boat sails under the Green Fin flag and thus clearly 'shows the flag' in environmental and marine protection.I would repeat it at any time, only longer this time!
