Great Dives with Great People
The highlight was two full days of diving in St. John's and Fury Shoals. Shaab Maksour and Elphinstone were amazing. The crew were all really helpful and caring. They clearly have the boat down to a science. They are very attentive and notice the smallest need, like when you forget to get a spoon to go with your soup.

The kindest crew
The overall experience was truly amazing. The supervisor was to the point on every breefing and the guide was the sweetest boy. Kitchen personnel always had a smile on their faces and the deck crew were always ready to step in when needed. Even though the weather postponed our departure for 3 days we had the best time. Shore dives we did were lovely and the dive shop that was used provided great facilities. We will dive with Emperor again for sure!

Had a very nice week on Emperor Aasma with many great dives!
The highlights were the oceanic whitetip at Elphinstone and the many beautiful caves at St. Johns and Fury shoal!

- Best food I've had on a liveaboard! Had my first shark encounter at Elphinstone where we met an Oceanic whitetip. We got the chance to decide on our own how we wanted to do the dives and didn't always have to followed the guides.

fantastic atmosphere there, lots of fun
All was great; but I wish to everyone to have somebody like we have, diver name Leroy, he makes good atmosphere and lots of laugh. I'm planning to do another trip with Asmaa next year again.

I have nothing but praise to give
The dives I enjoyed the most were at the fury shoals, a very versatile reef system were you can do many different kinds of dives. Saint John's was also good of course, as well as the possibility of going deep at Elphinstone. The very good food served on Asmaa was another highlight, and it was a very pleasant surprise for me.

Fantastic experience from beginning to end just perfect.
Ras Mohammed & SS Thistlegorm, making new friendships and most of all spending quality time with my daughter diving. The crew were so helpful and friendly we didn't have to lift a finger from arrival to departure Emperor Diver are amazing. Clever Captain and guides avoided the crowds and gave us all the experience to remember. Completely honest all costs inclusive and unlimited food and drink just fab, the food was just amazing from the chefs. The Emperor Asmaa is a lovely ship with all internal spaces air conditioned and great sun cover. 22 dives, inc 5 night dives in one week Don't think about it just book it you will not be disappointed for any level of experience.
