MY Blue Planet 1 dive boat review
Fully upgraded in 2013, the 27 meters Blue Planet 1 is a great liveaboard choice in order to cruise the Red Sea. Indeed, with a great value for money and plenty of space on-board, the baby of the Blue Planet Liveaboard Fleet won’t disappoint! The boat’s dive cruise itineraries options are various. Indeed, either a mini 3 nights safari and resort stay or a full length, 7 nights, diving cruise are available.
Boat Cabins & Layout
As the smallest ship of her fleet, the Blue Planet 1 is perfect for smaller groups. The vessel can welcome up to 15 guests in 8 twin bed cabins. Every cabin is equipped with a complete en-suite bathroom as well as air-conditioning and good storage space.

Vessel Layout
The Blue Planet is definitely an elegant and luxurious ship. Nothing compares to it in term of size, it’s one of the smallest liveaboard sailing the Red Sea. That being said, the fact that it’s small means less people so less crowded diving! In term of luxury and service, the Blue Planet 1 is comparable to other vessels in her fleet such as the Blue Seas or the Blue Pearl.
Diving with the Blue Planet 1
The dive deck and dive platform of the Blue Planet 1 have been refurbished along with everything in 2013. It’s more functional than ever and very well organized. Indeed, there is plenty of room for 15 divers to gear up and the dive platform fives easy access to the water. On-deck showers, camera charging stations and personal storage space are among the best features of the vessel. Easy and convenient, that’s how it sounds to dive the Red Sea with the Blue Planet!
Price starts at 779$US for 8 days / 7 nights – North & Wrecks

MY Grand Sea Serpent
The stunning 41 meters luxury liveaboard
Great review here! You sum up the essential quite fairly! I did North & Wrecks with friends in May and it’s been great. The service is exceptional, it was a much welcome stress free week. Personally I’m much into wrecks so I loved discovering the wrecks of the Red Sea. Our group was fun and we all got along well. The beds and comfy and there’s plenty to enjoy on-board. I might try their newer vessel for a change next time but otherwise I would not hesitate to head back with the Blue Planet 1! Justin
Awesome dive trip
We dived with Blue Planet 1, dive guide Ashraf, North and Tiran route, we had a fantastic time, every body from the staff is very friendly and trying to help you, safety is a priority, and Ashraf is very professional yet approachable, always with a smile, he gave great dive briefings, supported with maps and photos, precise info about conditions and suggested alternatives dive plans to accommodate different interest and levels of experience, he guided the majority of the dives for the divers that preferred been guided, fluent in English, German and Arabic, and vast knowledge of the local reefs and wrecks. The food was fantastic, Chef Omar not only cooked varied and delicious food but the presentation was amazing. It was a lot of fun and for us, diving with wild dolphins for first time (and 2nd and 3rd). Very comfortable and spacious boat. Captain Hamada, has a vast knowledge of the local reefs, always found protected reef to dive even in the windiest days. Highly recommended
