I had an awesome experience with Ghazala Explorer. The boat is great and has all the amenities you need. The crew were amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a good time. Will definitely be back to dive with them again!

I’ve just returned from an incredible diving holiday on a liveaboard and had such a fantastic experience overall! During the trip, I completed my Nitrox and Deep Diver courses, and my instructor was absolutely brilliant — patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely safe and confident throughout. The dive guides were excellent as well, always pointing out amazing marine life and making every dive memorable. The food on board was outstanding — we had something different every day, and everything was delicious. The crew were also amazing, always ready to help with gear before and after dives so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Their service and attention to detail made the trip so easy and enjoyable. The only downside was the air conditioning in the cabins. It was quite hot, and the unit under my bed sounded like a jumbo jet! But apart from that, everything else was truly top-notch. I’d highly recommend this liveaboard to anyone looking for a great diving adventure with excellent staff, great food, and a relaxed, well-organized atmosphere.
