Highlights
The Ocean Lovers is a 45-meter/148-foot-long liveaboard with 5 decks taking 32 guests on dive safaris in the Red Sea. There are 10 double cabins and 6 suites with views, all air-conditioned and equipped with private showers and toilets. The saloon and dining area on the main deck is perfect for relaxing. Entertainment options include a 65-inch LCD TV, a DVD player, and a sound system. In addition, the Ocean Lovers offers free Wi-Fi throughout the ship as long as a mobile signal is available. The Ocean Lover's 2 sun decks are spacious, with sun loungers, lazy bags, hammock swing chairs, and a hammock swing. Ideal for relaxing between dives, reading a book, or enjoying the sunset. Part of the sun deck is shaded, so guests always have a choice of whether they prefer the sun or protection from the heat.
The Ocean Lovers offers the chance to explore the famous Red Sea wrecks and reefs, including the Tiran diving area, composed of four main reefs that form an underwater bridge near the Gulf of Aqaba. Named after British cartographers (Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, and Gordon), these reefs are famous for their coral life and large pelagic fish. Expect a combination of wreck and reef diving, with the Northern Red Sea boasting impressive wrecks like the SS Thistlegorm. Other sites include Abu Nuhas, the "Ships Graveyard," and the Brothers Islands, with their thriving marine life and colorful corals. Anticipate encounters with reef sharks, eagle rays, oceanic white tip sharks, Napoleon fish, thresher sharks, hammerhead sharks, grey reef sharks, and more.

Nothing but amazing
Diving with Ocean Lovers was truly great! I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the trip. The staff was friendly yet extremely professional, the dive guides were amazing, the organisation was without fault, the captain was friendly and approachable, but also extremely responsible and respectful to the crew. The food was beyond amazing. The staff cleaned our rooms and washrooms several times a day, and the boat in general was extremely clean. I highly recommend Ocean Lovers for your next Red Sea dive adventure.

Unforgettable First Liveaboard Experience in the Red Sea – Already Looking Forward to the Next!
I spent 7 days in the Red Sea with Ocean Lovers and their crew, and it was truly an incredible experience that I’m already eager to repeat. As it was my first time both in the Red Sea and on a liveaboard, I initially had some concerns, especially with the news we often hear about diving incidents in the area. However, from the very first moment, the Ocean Lovers team made sure I felt safe and welcome. The entire week was filled with laughter, great moments, and a warm, family-like atmosphere onboard. The crew was outstanding-always professional, attentive, and friendly. When it came to safety, we received thorough briefings and clear instructions on what to do in case of emergency, as well as constant reminders about safe diving practices and respect for the marine environment. Their commitment to both guest safety and ecosystem protection was evident throughout the trip. Saying goodbye was bittersweet because I didn’t want the experience to end. Without a doubt, when I return to the Red Sea, I’ll be looking for Ocean Lovers again. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a liveaboard adventure!

Very good trip.
Overall for the wreck is okay. However compared with South East Asia, the corals may not be outstanding. The crew and dive guide are so nice, and they do help a lot

Good overall experience
Had a great first time diving the red sea, with excellent service, comfortable boat and good food and accommodation. They definitely covered safety and gave detailed dive briefings for every dive. There were a variety of dives on this trip including coral reefs, wrecks, night dives, pinnacles and walls, drift, etc. All in all, excellent for anyone diving the red sea for the first time.

A week full of amazing experiences.
I would like to thank the entire Ocean Lovers team for an incredible week of diving. The dive planning by the guides, the attention received on board from the crew, the comfort of the facilities, the variety of the menu... These are just a few of the many highlights. Regarding the guides and the planning, just by listening to the briefings you can tell they know the dive sites like the back of their hand. The briefings were very detailed, always making safety a top priority at all times. Their knowledge of the wrecks and reefs, constantly offering alternatives depending on the weather conditions and the number of boats diving in the area, was outstanding. Details like reversing the planned route to access the Brothers Islands at the beginning of the trip, anticipating the strong winds expected later on, is just one example of this. The safety of the group is a priority both underwater and on the surface. There was constant supervision by the Zodiacs during the dives. The attention from the crew on board was also top-notch. Constant assistance before and after the dives. Quick solutions to any unforeseen issues... There was always someone attentive, always someone ready to help. The food was just as impressive. A varied menu with some surprise dinners and snacks every afternoon in the upper deck area. The only downside is if you are trying to stay on a diet... As for the boat, it was built just two years ago and is extremely comfortable, with several areas to relax after diving. The bathrooms were cleaned daily, without any hassle, hot water showers, and well-ventilated cabins. But the best thing of all is the atmosphere on board. The Ocean Lovers team works in perfect harmony, constantly smiling, dancing, joking, and spreading good energy to everyone around. Without a doubt, this is the crown jewel — the great team spirit that makes everything run so smoothly. I will definitely dive with them again. Thank you for a week full of amazing experiences. Román
