Don't miss the SS Thistlegorm, the Red Sea's most famous wreck.

Liveaboard Review – Ocean Lovers, Red Sea South Route
I’ve just returned from a one-week trip aboard Ocean Lovers, and it set a new benchmark for liveaboard diving in the Red Sea. Having been on several boats in the region previously, this was the most comfortable and spacious experience I’ve had. The boat is exceptionally well kept—spotless throughout—and clearly maintained with pride. The crew were outstanding from start to finish. The atmosphere on board was warm, welcoming, and professional, and the dive guides deserve particular praise. Their knowledge of the sites, briefings, and professionalism elevated the entire experience. Safety standards were exceptional, and I was impressed by the attention to detail—from the well-stocked medical cabinet to the thorough briefings. Special credit goes to Ali for delivering briefings that were both informative and confident. The addition of ENOS GPS devices for every diver was remarkable and gave an extra layer of reassurance in busy waters. The diving itself was excellent, and every site on the southern route delivered. The only drawback, which is no fault of the crew, was the increasing crowding of some iconic sites due to the sheer number of boats in the area. Food on board exceeded expectations. Every meal was plentiful and delicious, and the kitchen consistently produced far better cuisine than one typically expects on a dive vessel. If there is room for improvement, two areas stand out. First, the wine selection could be much better. The local wine available on board was unfortunately undrinkable, and a few higher-quality choices—local or imported—would make a noticeable difference to the experience. Second, the drying setup for dive gear, particularly booties, could use an upgrade to help everything dry more effectively between dives. Overall, Ocean Lovers delivered a fantastic trip in every way that matters: spacious accommodation, excellent diving, warm hospitality, top-tier safety standards, and memorable food. I would highly recommend this boat to divers of all experience levels, particularly those who appreciate comfort, safety, and professional guiding done right.

친절하고 경험이 많은 스텝들 덕분에 즐거운 다이빙을 했습니다. 오션러버와 함께 홍해에서
친절하고 경험이 많은 스텝들 덕분에 즐거운 다이빙을 했습니다. 오션러버와 함께 홍해에서 우리는 멋진 2주를 보냈습니다. 그들은 최고의 식사서비스를 제공하기위해 노력하였고 다이빙중엔 편하고 안전한 가이딩을 해줬습니다. 파도가 높은 날 스피드보트로 옮겨타는것이 힘들긴했지만 멋진 바다덕분에 힘든것도 다 잊었습니다. 오션러버에서 우리는 정말 멋진 경험을 했습니다.
