Wonderful first experience in Egypt
As a first timer on a liveaboard I couldn’t have chosen a better boat! Incredible crew and dive guides, very attentive and professional, but also easygoing as if you were part from the first moment of their big family. Excellent planning in the BDE route, as they programmed some shallow dives to relax a little between all the deep dives (which are 90-95% of all the dives). Excellent, high quality food, consistent all through the duration of the liveaboard. Highly recommended even as your first liveaboard, but perhaps not exactly fit for beginners as strong current changes can occur and high buoyancy control is necessary in some of the dives

Beautiful surroundings, fabulous boat
The crew on board are so fantastic! Genuinely kind, funny, helpful, fun. From the cooks and mechanics to the team that helped me get fins on 3x day. The food is great, my cabin was fabulous with an amazing window. I do think this should be a minimum 30 dives trip, not 10. And heads up they don’t provide shampoo or anything so bring all your own toiletries!

An all-round successful liveaboard trip on the Brother–Daedalus–Elphinstone route with a top boat, excellent crew, great team and spectacular dive sites.
The liveaboard trip in Egypt on the classic Brother–Daedalus–Elphinstone route was an all-round successful experience. As soon as we entered the boat, it was clear that everything was right here – spacious cabins, clean common areas and a relaxed atmosphere made the week on board very pleasant.The crew convinced with professionalism and cordiality at the same time. Every move was perfect, and at the same time you were always looked after in a friendly manner – whether at the briefing, during the set-up or at meals. There was also a very good atmosphere among the divers, characterized by mutual respect and the common enthusiasm for spectacular dives.The spots themselves were the absolute highlight: The Brothers impressed with steep walls, colorful corals and plenty of big fish. Daedalus offered fantastic visibility and shark encounters, while Elphinstone provided adrenaline with its legendary drop-offs and drift dives. Each dive had its own character and was memorable.Conclusion: A well-organized tour with a perfect combination of comfort, team spirit and first-class dive sites – highly recommended for those who want to experience the Red Sea at its best.

Everything was perfect with the boat, and the service. Nothing special was seen while diving, but this is of course out of control of the guides. And I appreciated their efforts.

Great experience!
The boat was amazing, the crew was super friendly and the diving was great. We didn't have to think about a thing for a week, just focus on diving and then relaxing, eating, sleeping on the boat. Beautiful divesites and itinerary.

An excellent liveaboard with great diving, an exceptional guide, and a friendly crew that made the whole trip fun and comfortable
Overall, it was a fantastic liveaboard experience. The diving was excellent and very well organized, with great briefings and support throughout the trip. Guide Peter was thorough, patient, and exceptional, making every dive both enjoyable and informative. Highlights included the amazing marine life, relaxed atmosphere on board, and the friendly, helpful, and fun crew who made everyone feel welcome. The boat was comfortable and well set up, which made the whole trip smooth and relaxing between dives. A great experience from start to finish.

An incredible experience. Would highly recommend Grand Discovery!
The entire liveaboard experience was phenomenal. From the arrival to the airport waiting for pickup until the check-out after the liveaboard, everything was arranged to perfection. The crew was extremely helpful and friendly throughout the tour and were able to answer any questions and went above and beyond to accommodate any request. The route was perfect for the time of year as it wasn't quite the season for larger wildlife yet, for which all the wrecks (highlight: Thistlegorm!) made up for plenty. The rental gear was in top shape and looked well-maintained. The boat was brand new and very comfortable. The cabin was super nice as well. The food was incredible too: varied, fresh, and delicious throughout the week, compliments to the chefs on board!

Would definitely come back to dive in Egypt and with this live aboard
This was my first big live-aboard, and I loved every second of it. The guides were so friendly, funny and most importantly safe. Our briefings were straight forward and the dive sites were beautiful. I really loved the ship wrecks
