One of the best liveaboard trip in 30 years of diving.
A very French boat. Concerns in the beginning. As it turned out, only French divers except for us. And what a friendly group it turned out to be. Great crew. Exceptional guides. Superb food.

Best boat in Red Sea
Diving in the south rout of the red sea in Alia was amaizing. The crew are kind and helpful. The quality of the boat is incredible, is a new boat with a lot of spaces, huge zodiacs and common spaces. We had the chance to see hamerhead sharks and manta rays. I will repeat again.

Diving was very good, especially 3 dives at Elphinestone, we were able to dive freely.Great tour.Perfect crew, kitchen, Zodiac Guys.The only drawback, the Internet connection. Starlink Internet was offered in the tender, but it was only available via Sim card, that only worked on the first day, then no more.

Excellent experience on the Red Sea
It was amazing to see the Red Sea and dive there. The boat was well set up and comfortable. There was plenty of space and the cabin was roomy. The staff on the boat were more like friends and really know what they are doing. I always felt safe and comfortable. As a dive professional myself I’m always thrilled to see safety measures that go above and beyond. One example would be the encouragement of safety stops even when not necessary according to the ERDP.

Dreamlike safari
An all-round perfect trip with the Alia. A well-rehearsed team takes care of all matters. All wishes are tried to be fulfilled. The food was very varied and always delicious.We were on the BDE tour and saw everything you can see. Starting with gray sharks, thresher sharks, hammerhead sharks and not forgetting the Longimanus.

Perfect liveaboard with the Alia
So far the best of all (also very good) liveaboards. Very large, spacious boat with an attentive, friendly and helpful crew ( Thanks to Mostapha Ibrahim and the whole Crew)Competent dive guides (Reda and Noelie) who always discuss the safety of the group and the reefs.Three Tg at Elphinstone with whale sharks in two of them.However, you should note that the "Alia" is a ship of a French company (Dune), i.e. certain English and/or French language skills are a great advantage.
