Good middle class ship (no luxury and hardly any space in the cabins). Catering excellent and more than extensive. Free red wine with dinner.
Some of the ship's crew were a little unmotivated and often sat around a lot in the guest lounge area. In November, even the areas sheltered from the wind were sometimes besieged by the crew.
Otherwise a great safari with lots of highlights, nice dive guides who paid attention to safety. Guests' wishes with regard to diving were always taken into account.
If you don't need luxury and want to concentrate on diving, you can book here with peace of mind.

Cabins already a bit in the years. The diving areas unfortunately also suffer from the high temperature. Very much coral bleeching to see.
Much less fish than already. Not a single shark seen. That was different in the past!

Top experience with Emperor. Boat with enough comfort, super crew and nice guides.

In the deep south we dived for only 1 day. After 1 day we went north again. I would have liked to have dived 2 days in the deep south and 1 day at Deadalus. Deadalus is known for the big fish, they are too deep in September because of the warm water. 2 days there I thought was a bit much.

A very professional team from the Emperor. The guides were great and the ship's crew was super. All wishes were implemented as quickly as possible. If you want to go diving in Egypt in January, you have to be prepared that it can get cold.

It's time for the ship to go into dry dock for an overhaul - it's more than just paint peeling off.
The cabin could be used as a single, it had a usual size. The bathroom is fit for purpose and functional. The bunk is fine. Unfortunately, the cabin was cleaned accordingly only after a corresponding request, so after entering the cabin numerous black hairs stuck to the feet, the bed linen did not seem to be really fresh, because there were also numerous hairs. The duvet had to be covered by oneself. The towels, however, appeared fresh, as did the pillowcase.
The crew is extremely friendly and supportive. Dive guides are cordial and take care of the guests in a nice way.
The food was varied, tasty and sufficient. Sometimes we missed some snacks (even if they were for sale) in between - which were sometimes just missing, eaten up or just consisted of the usual tomato-flavoured chips.
The dive spots were in the usual range for the south tour of St-Johns. Some reefs like Elphinstone in particular looked like a better Jaccusi due to the numerous divers in the water - after the first dive the guides recognized the situation correctly and looked for alternative solutions.
All in all a successful safari!

Emperor Asmaa - great diving, great guiding, great food!!!
The cabins were rather small but we managed to 'find out way'; however, Yaiza and Jordi including the whole team made all of us welcome and their service / quality was outstanding - be it information, excellent food, helping on the deck, in and out of the water - just what you wish for. Many thanks to the whole Asmaa-Team - we certainly can recommend it - and a little 'refurbishment' would certainly add to everything. We plan to come back next year - hope you all will be there. Many thanks for safe diving.
