We recommend Eriny. We were 3 days on Eriny in Sharm el Sheikh area (Ras Mohammad, thistlegorm, dunraven) and had a very good experience. Some challenge with the equipment on the test dive, but it was all sorted. Very good briefings before each dive, very friendly crew, good food, clean boat, good communication on WhatsApp before departure. We felt safe. Our dive guide, Amr, was calm, friendly, safe and steady. Thank you for a good trip!”

Eriny Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Eriny Liveaboard review to help you confidently choose and book the right liveaboard. 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

We recommend Eriny. We were 3 days on Eriny in Sharm el Sheikh area (Ras Mohammad, thistlegorm, dunraven) and had a very good experience. Some challenge with the equipment on the test dive, but it was all sorted. Very good briefings before each dive, very friendly crew, good food, clean boat, good communication on WhatsApp before departure. We felt safe. Our dive guide, Amr, was calm, friendly, safe and steady. Thank you for a good trip!”

Recommended for: Good briefings before each dive. We felt safe. Very friendly crew.
