While our 2025 Egypt trip with Emperor left us doubtful that our faith in diving there would ever be restored, I am delighted to say that our faith in Emperor as a company most definitely has been following our Raja Ampat liveaboard on Emperor Harmoni in Feb 2026.
From the very beginning — hotel collection, luggage handling, transfers and welcome onboard — everything ran seamlessly. It immediately set the tone for the week.
The dive managers, Nehed and Phil were consummate professionals, always energetic, approachable and fully engaged with guests. Every single member of staff played their part brilliantly — from the RIB skipper to the bar and dining team. The “backroom” crew certainly did not go unnoticed: cabin servicing was excellent, meals were exceptional, and the engine room was so immaculate it looked like the machinery had just been installed. While I didn’t visit the wheelhouse, the talented skippers got us everywhere safely and smoothly.
All of the dive guides appeared exceptional, and our special thanks go to Jerod for taking such great care of us. We arrived with no particular expectations and were blown away by the diversity of walls, reefs and marine life. Jerod expertly balanced our individual interests — ensuring I saw the large pelagics, while my wife was equally thrilled with nudibranchs and pygmy seahorses.
What really stood out was the atmosphere onboard. It was obvious the Harmoni crew genuinely enjoy what they do. The smiles, positive energy and teamwork made guests feel welcome, relaxed and fully able to enjoy the experience.
Having enjoyed it so much, we sincerely hope to return to Harmoni again before too long.
The fact that Harmoni was purpose-built as a dedicated dive vessel is evident — she is close to perfect. It is genuinely difficult to criticise anything.
If you’re thinking about diving in Raja Ampat, you’ll not go wrong with Emperor Harmoni.

We just spent another amazing week on a liveaboard with Emperor Divers, and once again they exceeded all expectations.We have been diving for many years and with many operators, but Emperor consistently stands out. They manage to combine excellent service, great fun, and a very strong focus on safety in a way that feels effortless and completely natural. Everything is well organized, calm, and professional, which allows you to fully relax and enjoy the diving.The crew is simply the best you could ever wish for. Nothing is too much to ask. They are attentive, supportive, knowledgeable, and always smiling. From the moment you step on board until the last dive, you feel genuinely taken care of. Not because it is their job, but because they truly care.What makes Emperor special is that after all these years, it no longer feels like “just another dive trip”. It feels like coming home. 100% family vibes, above and below the water.We already know one thing for sure: we will be back. Again and again.Highly recommended for anyone who values safety, quality, and a fantastic atmosphere on board.
Hello there. Any update on the cause of the fire that burnt your vessel in Egypt? I had booked a trip to the Solomon Islands with Bilikini when it was an Australia based company. You have since acquired that company, and I’m sure that I’m not the only one concerned about your safety record given the destruction by fire if your vessel in Egypt, as well as another vessel in Egypt dragging its anchor and hitting the reef.Please provide some information on the cause of the fire, especially something that shows that it was not due to negligence.I have been emailing you for several months now and all you have done is stonewall me.Otherwise please refund me my deposit on the Bilikini sailing.
I managed to sneak in a few days diving whilst on a family holiday in Sharm El Sheikh. I booked online with Emperor Divers using their on line facility which was easy and straight forward to use. I made arrangements with them to be picked up and returned to my hotel, which was easy and very convenient for me. I managed to get three dives in on each day and can't recomend Emperor enough. The team from admin, Reception, dive boat crew and dive instructors/guides were all friendly, professional, and fun to be with. The team managed to take us to sights which were relatively empty of other dive boats, the diving was very good with great selection of coral and sea life. Thank you Emperor divers for such a good few days diving.
Just got back from a week long trip in the red see. The boat was the asmaa. The trip the famous five .well where to start . Crew were fantastic. The chefs turned out amazing food three times a day . The crew were all friendly and joined in with our trip antics .lots of dancing and high spirits .the cabins were constantly cleaned and kept top notch . 16 of us on the boat all members of the same dive club . Salah and mamaud our dive guides were amazing !!! Felt almost like family by the end of the week .nothing was to much hassle and always felt safe on the boat and in the water .cannot stress enough just how brilliant every member of the crew were
The people at Emperor are the most serious and prepared professionals in the diving business that I found all over the world. The security aboard is simply exceptional and the care of customers is world wide class. There is a suggestion, though. If the port is closed for sea conditions, be prepared to evaluate diving alternatives, because shore sites close to Port Ghalib are terrific.
We went on the Emperor Elite dive boat to Elfinstone, Brothers and Daedalus in the Red Sea. The boat was great, but our two divemasters, Hassan and Mustafa, made the trip special for us. They and the crew took very good care of us all the way.
I had a very nice time with Emperor Drivers, in Port Ghalib, night dive was very amazing, Also Dolphin house was very crystal clear dive, some places had lot of plankton and Nekton in water, but no problem, fish needs to eat too, price is good also, keep it rolling...
