Red Sea Aggressor IV, Egypt

Scuba Diving: The diving operation was outstandingly well-organized. I was impressed by the smooth coordination that made multiple dives a day feel effortless. Diving with the same group all week was a great experience, allowing us to build camaraderie instead of being shuffled around with different people each day. The back deck operations—from tank filling to equipment handling—were conducted with near-military precision. We encountered a few minor equipment issues, but the crew helped resolve everything quickly and efficiently. Food: The food exceeded my expectations, with healthy options and visible efforts by the kitchen staff to accommodate individual dietary needs. The Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday was a fun and memorable touch. Crew: Tiger was phenomenal and ran a great ship! I appreciated how, after a few days, the crew took the time to learn everyone’s names. I had a knee injury, and the crew went above and beyond to assist me by helping with my gear in the zodiac and on deck. They kindly took my weight belt and BCD after dives so I wouldn’t have to bear the weight getting out of the water. Amr and Marco were exceptional dive guides, making each dive even more enjoyable. Tipping: Tiger did a great job setting clear expectations for tipping, explaining that tips are shared equally among the 18 crew members. This transparent and fair approach was much appreciated. He even recorded the tip on a receipt, adding a layer of accountability that I respected. Boat Condition: While the boat itself was generally comfortable, it is showing some signs of wear. There was a minor water leak in one of the corridors, though it didn’t impact our experience. However, the boat photos on the booking site suggest a fresher look, so the actual condition was a bit of a reality check. Overall Experience: This was my first liveaboard experience, and it was excellent. The bar has been set high, and I’ll certainly consider an Aggressor liveaboard again in the future. Thank you.

Great crew and trip
