Red Sea Aggressor V, Egypt

Really recommended, one of the best boat I have been.

The boat is huge and very well organized, we only had problems with AC that was not working for couple of days. The crew was nice and attentive. We had very bad visibility during the trip but still managed to do nice dives.

The crew are WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD!!!

The service by the crew on the boat by far made the trip amazing, they all deserve a medal! They work incredibly hard; Shawki with his beautiful and kind nature and always always ready to offer help and great conversations I considered him a friend by the end of the week, Salem with his amazing guiding and adapting the dives so I didn't ever get bored he was a joy to spend time with underwater, Zizo always so friendly and easy to chat to which is nice as I travelled alone also a great dive guide and incredibly chill and relaxed underwater, Khalil always giving good and thorough briefings. Mohamed who served us the meals and always had the biggest smile I've ever seen on someone (he was like my little brother by the end of the week!), Mohammed Nasser who was very sweet and cheeky dive deck helper, Mahmoud always so polite and incredibly respectful he made the best drinks for sunset and kept my cabin so clean and tidy despite my messiness! Captain Hussen who let me chill at the bridge and hang out, Hamada the Cpt's assistant possibly the friendliest person I've ever met and I had so many nice chats with. Ahmed on the dive deck always being cheeky and making jokes, I promise one day to say your name right! Mustafa who was very quiet but so friendly and helpful on the dive deck always helping me with my gear. Assam the daytime engineer who filled the tanks and gave me a tour of the engine room was very kind! Huge thank you to Chef Abdo for making me all the vegan dishes and delicious Egyptian breakfast at my request! And Chef Waleed always including me for a dessert everyday even though I know how hard making vegan desserts are! I've definitely missed some people off as I couldn't get everyone's names. Honestly the reason I would return for another Aggressor trip and also return to the Aggressor V would be for the crew, I hope you read this to everyone one of them and tell them they are WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD! They are a credit to Aggressor and all deserve a pay rise! Throughout the week they worked tirelessly to ensure that everything went smoothly and the guests didn't have to lift a finger. Having worked on multiple liveaboards myself I was very impressed at how well they all worked together, there was no drama, no fights, they all had respect for each other as well as the guests and even though they worked day and night no task was too large. I wish I could have tipped them more so I write this review as my extra tip in the hopes that it reaches them. I was also very impressed at how spacious the cabins were, beautiful views from the window, large rainfall shower in the bathroom, very happy!

THE CREW!!!!. The dive guides adapting the dives so I could be away from the less experienced divers, made the dives more enjoyable for me and meant I didn't have to look after anyone.. The swim throughs, a couple of dives where we had all the swim throughs, so much fun!.

Perfect week Deep South

Had a great time on Aggressor 5 this October. The dive sites are beautiful, not as crowded as BDE or Hurghada area. It was a perfect mix of reefs, walls, caves and a bit of wrecks. The visibility was fantastic throughout the trip, the water was worm, although we had some rough seas as the winds picked up at the south of the Red Sea. We had some sharks, although it seems that we were 2 weeks too early, maybe even more. the Thermocline was at around 45m on all the deeper dives that we had. Every night we had a night dive which was great. We saw hammerhead sharks, white tip reef sharks, octopus, Napoleon wrasse, lots of spotted stingrays, lots of moray eels (including two night dives where we had a privilege to watch them hunt and feed), nudebranches, Spanish dancers, and loads of small reef fish. the food on the boat was great, every meal was tasty, the dinners which were chaff choice were all great. we had food and drinks on every corner. The captain and the crew were awesome as well as the dive guides. we had 0 problems during the trip. if I could name 2 non diving highlights ...waking up at Zabargard island (if you are lucky to be on the port side and see it when you wake up, and swimming with spinner dolphins on Sataya reef. All in all, a perfect week, only downside is that it was only a week, and time flies when you are having fun.

Amazing week - Rocky & Zabargad

We spent two consecutive weeks aboard the Aggressor V. As this was not our first liveaboard experience, I believe I can offer a balanced and objective perspective on the overall experience. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to the dining room crew for their attentiveness and professionalism. My thanks also go to the captain for the skillful management of the vessel, as well as to the seamen and our guides, who contributed to an enjoyable trip overall. A special mention to the chefs, who were outstanding and prepared delicious meals and desserts every day. That said, there are a few areas we feel warrant improvement: Post-Dive Organization: Drinks and towels were occasionally missing after dives, which was particularly inconvenient following night dives or in windy conditions. Briefings: Briefings often started late, as ringing the bell alone was insufficient to gather everyone promptly. Waiting approximately ten minutes to begin was somewhat frustrating. Information on Currents: During briefings, details about currents were not always precise, which is essential for planning safe and enjoyable dives. Group Size: On several occasions, guided groups exceeded eight people, which is especially problematic during night dives when visibility and coordination are more challenging. Final Payment Procedure: The manner in which the final payment was handled felt awkward. We were required to declare and write down the amount of gratuity we intended to give, which came across as rather forceful. On other vessels, tips are provided anonymously, which feels more appropriate. Passport Security: On the first day, passports were left in an area accessible to anyone, which raises security concerns. At the very least, they should have been stored securely overnight. Overall, we had a positive experience, but addressing these points would significantly enhance the professionalism and comfort of future trips.
