Review of Red Sea liveaboard Freedom III:
Great diving experience in the Red Sea! “Thistlegorm could be seen 100 times and you still wouldn’t get sick of it. It really is something special. Compliments to the chef who made such a variety of food for every meal. There was something for everyone. The briefings for the dives were detailed and even gave back stories to the wrecks and the reefs. The dive masters knew where to find different wildlife and took care of the group while giving those space that wanted it. The rooms were nice and the environment was social. The whole experience on this boat was a highlight.” Recommended for: the diving, the food, the briefings.

This list of Red Sea liveaboards is in descending customer rating order, followed by Scuba Diving Luxury Rating (SDE Lux Rating, see below), so the liveaboards with the highest customer rating and the best SDE lux rating will be at the top of the list. If you want to change the list order, use the “Sort by” dropdown below.
The Scuba Diving Earth Luxury Rating (SDE Lux Rating) is explained on each liveaboard review when you click the “Discover Liveaboard” link, and is my own Liveaboard Luxury Rating I’ve assigned to all liveaboards. Choosing between liveaboards is helped by customer scores, and if you get stuck choosing between two or three liveaboards, where each one has a high customer score out of 10, you can use the SDE Luxury Rating to help narrow down your choice.
Think about it like using Booking.com when searching for the best hotel. Booking.com also use a customer score where each customer rates hotels out of 10. This is similar to the liveaboard customer rating, which is also rated out of 10. But let’s say you only like to stay in hotels rated 8 and above on Booking.com, but you also want the hotel to have WIFI or parking, or to have a swimming pool etc. The features each hotel has is usually secondary to the score out of 10.
