Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Wonderful week in spite of the wind. From start to finish, the crew were warm, friendly and helpful. Their experience was evident and their enthusiasm was apparent. The boat was very comfortable and was reassuringly stable. We suffered a week of high winds but they managed the situation well and selected safe sites to dive and moor by changing itinerary as was essential and kept us well informed throughout. We are experienced divers and were able to follow group or go independently as we wished. Diving was well organised but not restrictive. Our guides, Eric and Aly were excellent and there is always at least one guide in the water with guests. Food was good and we felt very well looked after. The trip was excellent value for money without the dreaded bill at the end which You’re often presented with on other boats and the tipping process is discreet as you pop your envelope through a slot into a box which they deal with later. We were given slippers, robes and gifted a dry bag plus Egyptian sims for our phones, very nice touches. I would highly recommend Emperor as a company and Superior as a great boat.”
Recommended for: The welcome and service from crew. Comfortable and stable boat. Excellent value.
