Red Sea Liveaboards Recommendations

[rjurewicz]

I am planning on doing a liveaboard in the Red Sea with my daughter and her husband. He has less than 50 dives and not very experienced. My daughter and I are OOW divers with plenty of experience. Looking for a liveaboard that is high end , reputable and does an itinerary in area where there are not real strong currents. Also if it relatively safe to do liveaboards in Red Sea for Americans

I can't give a comparison to others, but I dove with Allstar Liveaboards on the southern Red Sea route and wasn't too impressed. The boat, crew, and all of that was perfectly fine but to be honest I didn't get as many dives in as I would have liked (and several others I was with). It was partly due to night diving not being allowed in certain areas, but I think we could have easily fit in another day dive with everyone on Nitrox. That being said, maybe the northern route has more opportunities for more diving - I think the sites are also closer so there's less evening/overnight travel (I also would have been more interested in the wrecks up there tbh).

Have a look at the BSAC Egypt liveaboards. You’ll need to join BSAC as well.

I would recommend Emperor, been with them both in Egypt and Maldives and they are absolutely amazing.

I have been on the Aggressor (South) 3 times and the crew has been great. They run specials with a reduced price. Nice cabins. Good food. Since you are relative new to diving, I would suggest the southern route.

Does it have a steel or wooden hull? Your spec sheet does not say.

Strong currents are rare in the Egyptian Red Sea. All I have ever experienced is mild currents and only very, very rarely. Nothing like the Maldives and, in general, the Egyptian Red Sea is very beginner-friendly.

You are unlikely to find many high-end liveaboards with the sort of service and amenities that you might get, say, with Caymans Aggressor. It's just a different price point and traditionally the Egyptian Red Sea is to European divers what the Caribbean is to North Americans. There are subtle cultural differences: most divers in Europe do not expect five dives per day, so 3-4 dives is usually the norm. The night dive, when offered, will be unguided.

Google Omneia Fleet. They might be the closest thing you'll find. I have no personal experience with them. Be prepared for 90% German-speaking divers.

I hope this is of some use.

Been on trips with both the Spirit and the Soul multiple times. Moni, the owner, has more than 30 years experience running a LoB (she started out on the legendary Number One) and is usually traveling one one of the ships. Look for a northern trip and enjoy.

Omneia Liveaboard

From what I have heard they are one of the best.
I have not done any diving with them myself though.
