Snefro Pearl for me was somewhere in the ballpark of my 12th liveaboard experience, and I can't express how high it stands relative to the prior 11! I've been diving for over 6 years now and I don't believe I've seen this kind of value from a trip before. 10 dives within 3 days, and nitrox is free for certified nitrox divers. Everything from the quality and portions of the food to the helpfulness and politeness of the staff, who come across as very eager to boost the experience, constantly asking for feedback. Cabins are roomy and very comfortable, and toilets are always very clean. Also on the matter of cleanliness, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that rooms aren't tidied and cleaned only once per day like some other liveaboards, but rather once after every dive during the day. The Divemaster onboard, Samuel Samir was extremely instructive, preparing very detailed briefs for every dive and testing the current ahead of every dive to find us the optimal point to start the dive from and make the dive as enjoyable as possible. He also lead the dives in such a manner that every dive feels very well-organized and smooth and just effortless while also very safe and worry-free. Overall, every single aspect of the trip gave off the impression that details are heavily stressed on and catered for. I am very eager to dive with Snefro Pearl again.

Great experience. Lovely clean boat . Great staff

★ 4 · Sanran Gulsen · 2023-12-21

We were very happy to be lead by a very experienced and knowledgeable dive leader. This guy is a master at detecting camouflaged stargazers. Good boat. Short though, wish has booked longer trip with the same King Snefro Fleet.
