★ 5 · Benjamin Guex · 2026-01-24I had a great liveaboard experience on board the MY Grand Discovery in Egypt. The crew was extremely friendly and professional, and the dive briefings were clear, well-structured, and detailed. Even though we had to change the original itinerary due to strong winds, the diving was still excellent. We were lucky enough to see sharks, dive with dolphins, and explore some very nice wrecks. The overall atmosphere on board was fantastic, with great interactions both with the crew and the other guests. The cabins were clean and surprisingly spacious, even those located below deck (where I stayed). The food was very good, served as buffets, with generous portions and enough variety throughout the trip. Overall, a very enjoyable liveaboard with great diving, a friendly vibe, and a well-organized team. I would happily recommend it.
