How do you rank the boats?
We combine each boat's Divebooker guest score with its number of reviews, so a boat with 4.9 from 100 reviews ranks above one with 5.0 from 3 reviews. Commissions never change the order.
Prices, departure dates and guest scores come from Divebooker, our booking partner, in US dollars per person, checked 28 Oct 2026. They change daily; the final price for your cabin is shown on Divebooker before you pay. Mandatory extras such as the marine park or reef tax, nitrox, equipment rental and crew tips are usually not included. ScubaDahab earns a commission when you book through our Divebooker links, at no extra cost to you. It never changes which boats we list or how we rank them.
