To live to believe
I had an amazing week, I didn't really know what to expect, this extraordinary, the crew always has a little word, a smile, they help us with each dive, they are really benevolent. The instructors are top notch I was supervised / Ramadan. and the chef cooks 🥰 he delighted us. You have to live it to believe it. The amazing dives, there were night dives every day. I had taken my 93-year-old dad with me, it's not necessarily to be done, but he has stars in his eyes. He is a former sailor and a former diver.I will come back to the Dicovery 1

A great diving experience on the Red Sea
A great diving experience in the Red Sea with really good value for money. Everything was just right: The crew on the boat was super friendly, the food was always delicious and more than sufficient, and the equipment was in very good condition. The route was beautiful and the dive sites really impressive. In addition, there was a really nice group of divers. Overall, I had a really cool time and I would do the tour again anytime!

This is one in a lifetime trip with great Dive Lead
The underwater was great but the staff, headed by Peter the dive Lead, was superb and could feel their passion for the job they do. Food was delicious, the chef and Ruby were super accommodating to requests and they help you in everything, making the dive experience safe and unforgettable (and on the boat too). I was one of the least experienced but I felt all the time taken care of, and I managed to enjoy a lot my first dives inside a wreck. Peter was also spooting all sort of creatures, octopus, moray eel, white tip shark, etc.. even a giant whale shark ! I'm looking forward to repeat it in the south area.

It was amazing jornney!
It was our (me and my wife) very first diving safari. We saw langimanus, hammerhead, napoleon-fish, silky shark, Spanish dancer, manta ray and dolphins from the yacht. The guides Peter and Darya were always as underwater as onboard helpful and very empathic. The food was diverse and delicious, 10 out of 10. We will plan our next safari in Red See only with Discovery. Thanks the team for amazing experience and adventure!!!

Such an incredible experience! The route and dive sites were great, we were very lucky and saw sharks. The crew were amazing, super helpful and friendly, dive guides included! The food was great, healthy and always so much! Cabins were as expected in a liveaboard, small but comfortable. The group were the best and made the trip that much more special!

Best value for many to enjoy diversified dives with professional and fun team
Professional and fun dive guides who are always doing extra-effort for their guests to fully enjoy experience. Great itinerary which gives ability to do diversified dives, including very nice coral reefs, shark diving and the best wrecks I've ever seen (SS Thistlegorm and Salem Express). Probably one of the best value for money.

Getting to the remote locations was exceptional and a great way to experience the Red Sea. The whole crew was fun and friendly, while still maintaining a professional and safe demeanor. Our dive guides were AMAZING! Knowledgeable with a great eye for spotting critters. They also split our group into two with similar diving experiences, so everyone felt comfortable and with the right level of guidance.

Only 16 of 19 dives were done
The overall experience has been satisfactory as the staff has been very friendly But 19 dives were offered and we have only done 16 and that three are missing does not seem logical to me since we did not have bad seas or any other inconvenience, I would have liked there to be some night dives, although this if it was not in the Itinerary but since it was a minimum Advanced dive it would have been appreciated at least on my part

Liveaboard with beautiful combination of wreck and reef dives
Nice tour with various highlights such as Thistlegorm, Salem Express and Brothers on a somewhat outdated and quite small boat with slight compromises in terms of comfort on board. However, I really liked the course of the tour and the dives were very varied, so there was definitely something for everyone. The crew and dive guides were also always helpful. The boat was only half booked this week and we were only traveling with a fairly small group of 12 guests, so the division of the dive groups between the two dive guides was really good. With a full booking, the groups would certainly have been quite large, but in the end I can't say anything about that. Overall a nice experience.

An all-round successful trip that wants to be repeated in a similar way.
Boat, crew, supplies, route, daily routine and diving safety have meshed perfectly. At Deadalus reef hammerhead sharks and manta rays imagined themselves, at Elphinstone and at the Brothers you could drift - great cinema!

Had a great time on Amelia Discovery! The food was incredible and all crew members very friendly, dive sights were beautiful and great range of wreck, wall, and reef dives. We took our AOW on the boat and dive masters were very attentive for this based on my level. We did find at times in the dining area/lower cabins there was a diesel smell but as this was my first liveaboard I don't know if this is typical. Overall a wonderful experience!! Highly recommend
