Snefro Pearl Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Snefro Pearl Liveaboard review to help you choose the right liveaboard with confidence. As a qualified diving instructor and Advanced BSAC Diver with 500+ dives worldwide, I've helped countless divers pick their perfect liveaboard - whether it's your first time liveaboard or you're an experienced diver seeking your next adventure.

Read more about Russell's diving experience

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer and diving instructor, I've taught many people to dive and taken a lot of the divers I taught on their first dive. I also used to organise and run dive trips in the UK, with one of my favourites being expeditions to the Farne Islands to dive with the seals. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience, having dived from liveaboards myself and loved it. This is why I came up with the SDE Liveaboard Rating* to help you choose the best liveaboard for you.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Snefro Pearl - Pearl of the ocean. It was our first time in a Liveaboard so chose Snefro Pearl for our mini safari. We had no idea what to expect. What if we didn’t like the people? What if the food gave us tummy problems? What if the guide wasn’t great and the diving would be ruined? What if we didn’t like the boat? We couldn’t get off? We had all these worries…… Snefro Pearl literally made every single one of these worries disappear. They picked us up from the hotel at the time they arranged with us (always a good start to the trip to come) they had an hour briefing in the lounge with everyone on board whilst they brought out luggage into the boat. Dinner was ready for us to unpack sit and chill and just meet everyone. The food was impeccable! Absolutely on point. Lots of it and different varieties. So far so good. Cabins were fresh clean and comfy. We had booked diving course on the safari our dive guide for the whole trip was Alaa! He was amazing, calm, patient very knowledgeable and tried to show us everything he could possibly find in the water which was awesome. My partner is a dive master and he learned from Alaas experience too. The deck crew were in hand with equipment helped you on the boat, put your fins on, refilled cylinders and 3 were there every time you kitted up to help when you needed bit statues out the way until then. Drinks were offered as you came up from every dive and the bell rang 15 mins after for the next meal. Every dive (3-4 a day) our room was cleaned and bin emptied and our towels put into another pretty shape to signal they’d been in and refreshed. We had a zodiac to take us out to dive sites too, so had some dives where we entered the water but rolling back off the side which I hadn’t done before so was really exciting. Eqypt coral and for the abundance of fish was the best I’ve experienced I swam through schools of glass fish and there was never down time where there wasn’t any fish to look at at all there were thousands all the time! Great dive sites, great boat, great people - never want another land holiday again!! Thank you Snefro Pearl and Liveaboard.”

Recommended for: Alaa - the dive guide was amazing. The food was 5 star quality and frequent. The boat cleanliness was impeccable.
