ScubaDahabAbout ScubaDahab
We are divers based in Dahab, on Egypt's Red Sea coast. ScubaDahab helps you choose the right liveaboard for the Egyptian Red Sea by putting every boat, route and price side by side.
What we do
Booking a liveaboard is a big decision: a week on one boat, often more than $1,000 per person, on a boat you have never seen. We put every Egyptian liveaboard with open departures side by side: for each of the 73 boats we show its guest score, price per day, size, age, nitrox, the routes it sails and every departure that still has space.
How we rate and rank boats
- Guest scores are verified-guest reviews on Divebooker, always shown with the review count. Where a boat also has a LiveAboard.com score we mention it as a second opinion.
- Prices and dates are Divebooker's, in US dollars per person, checked 28 Oct 2026. We refresh them regularly.
- Our "Our take" notes and route picks are calculated from that data: how a boat's score compares with the Egyptian average (4.7/5 for boats with 5+ reviews), how its price compares with other boats on the same routes, its size and age.
- We only list boats with upcoming departures you can actually book.
- We visit boats in port when we can. Pages say clearly when a boat has not been inspected in person yet.
How we make money
Our booking partner is Divebooker. When you book through a link on our site, Divebooker pays us a commission. It costs you nothing extra. Commissions never change which boats we list, their scores or their order.
Where the data comes from
Prices, departures, guest scores and boat specs come from Divebooker's public listings. Some boats also show a LiveAboard.com guest score for context. Route information comes from operator itineraries and our own diving in the Red Sea. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we will fix it.
