It was my first dive trip on the Discovery One and I am completely satisfied!

Dive guides: we had two very friendly and helpful guides. My suitcase didn't arrive at the airport and they called several times to ask where my luggage was. They also paid a lot of attention to the safety of all participants and adjusted the dive spots depending on the weather. I can only recommend Peter and Abdu!
The rest of the crew were also great. I hardly had to worry about the equipment, they were very attentive and always helped me.

Safety remains a thing.
1 day of poor air quality where I had to make quite a shorthand or get that taken care of.
And people were taken on dives VERY above their level! Hats off to the instructor who brought them back safely, but that could have gone very wrong.

The tour with the Discovery 1 is definitely recommendable. The crew is friendly and helpful. The dive sites we visited were as planned and wonderful. The ship is tidy and the crew take good care of it. As with every safari, there was decent food, comparable to 3-star hotels on the mainland. Not a luxury, but very tasty.
The cabins below deck have the shower in the center of the small bathroom, or rather the entire bathroom. Designed for people >175cm.
The ship's wood creaks during overnight trips.

Price and performance are good. Any time again.

It was the first liveaboard for us. We felt very well looked after and had a great community of fellow divers. Safety always came first. Very friendly, helpful, approachable crew. Great support from the guides. Very professional. Very well structured briefings. Many thanks for everything! Always happy to come back! ????????

But:
1. according to the travel documents, payment on board should also be possible by credit card. However, they tried to prevent this by all means. Instead, I was allowed to pay at an exchange rate of 1:50 (!!!) instead of 1:33 (that's almost double!). Payment in the local currency was refused! ...this is no way to deal with customers.
2. the cabins were so shallow that I (1.82m) could not stand upright in the toilet/shower

Lower cabins are very low.
In the bathroom approx. 175cm, otherwise just over 180cm.
The TTU in the diving passport is not accepted,
if a yes is ticked somewhere in the health questionnaire (e.g. regular intake of tablets).
A certificate (piece of paper) is then required from the doctor, which is actually the same as the entry in the diving passport.

Very nice dive trip, some spots but overcrowded, hardly any big fishes

Transfer came only when the next plane had landed and I almost wanted to take a cab privately, people from Schau ins Land were helpful, although only the flight was booked through SIL. Transfer Galib HUR had no address of the ship only Marina (of which there are now 4) after an hour of searching we found the Destiny (cab driver was very helpful) was then brought to the ship by Zodiac. Elfinstone could not be dived wg weather, Daedalus was air bubbles in blue water without visibility and as good as no sharks. Brothers poor visibility and wind without sharks :-(

More night dives would be cool.

Crew was very friendly.
Cook was top class

Very nice trip had! Food was really fantastic.
When we booked in the Netherlands, the requirement was 50 dives and AOW. However, our fellow travelers had a minimum of 10 dives, which not even everyone had. One person had just completed her open water. We found this disappointing.

Beautiful boat. Incredibly friendly crew and really delicious food!
The rooms are not big (but that's normal), but you are really only there to sleep.
The reefs (Brother, Daedelus) are ok, definitely not spectacular. Just because you are at sea every dive is >25 m deep.
Safety is top of the list for the guides and crew.
Super vacation!

Amazing crew, amazing boat. Fantastic trip. I would highly recommend!

This was my fourth tour with Discovery Divers. This time actually the BDE tour. However, strong winds prevented the trip over the open sea. The guides have made the best possible of it and always offered nice alternatives. This was always communicated early and openly. Often the guests could vote which reef should be approached. One day at the Brothers the weather allowed. A very dedicated, helpful and friendly team. Very experienced dive guides. Always a comprehensive briefings. With appropriate buddy composition and conditions autonomous diving was almost always possible. Individual wishes were always taken into account. Safety was always the top priority. The food was always extensive and very good. The ship and the cabins were cleaned daily. The cabins are in some places in the years and would have to be revised again. Also, when you shower, you flood the whole bathroom/toilet. Therefore, only five stars. The ship was occupied by 18 guests. With the amount of bottle fillings, the filling also took a little longer. On average there was also "only" 28-29 nitrox. Nevertheless, we did four dives on some days. Who can overlook these small flaws, to whom diving is more important than luxury, is in very good hands on the Amelia.

We were not able to sail the planned route Hurghada - Brothers - Daedalus - Elphinstone - Port Ghalib. Firstly, because of the meteorological conditions (too much wind during the first days), we were able to travel from Hurghada to the Brothers only later than planned. Then there was no time to go to Daedalus and Elphinstone was closed due to "aggressive" tiger shark. Despite this limitation (no marine park Daedalus nor Elphinstone) and shortening of the trip we still had to pay the full 190 € supplement (tax Marine Park, fuel surcharge, ...). The guide explained that these marine taxes always had to be paid in advance and were therefore not recoverable. On the other hand, the dive guides showed good will to get the "most" out of the diving, we think.

Unfortunately, the Bott has its best days behind it.

The crew and the two gudies were great.

Super crew, good guides... on the Amelia -what was unpleasant and stressful, that one of the safari boats (apparently the same route) in constantly close proximity ran the ship's diesel day and night... that was a considerable noise pollution and for the environment also little beneficial.
