The spacious dive deck is located at the back of the boat and has ample space for kitting up and gear storage. Itineraries explore some of the best Red Sea dive areas and include tours to Ras Mohammed marine park to dive the Thistlegorm, Abu Nuhas, and stunning reefs of Shark & Yolanda, as well as the popular Brothers, Daedalus & Elphinstone (BDE) route for the chance of some pelagic life action.

Too many troubles and issues for one week liveaboard
In my opinion, Covid-19 countermeasures on the boat were very poor. One of the guests had high fever for 2 days and was not isolated. After returning home, I tested positive to Covid-19 (my test was done on the day of return). Luckily, I had quite mild symptoms, now recovering after 10 days quarantine. During the first 2 nights, extreme strong diesel gasoline smell in my room and in the rooms of my neighbors on the main deck. This boat is mainly oriented towards French market. This means, if you are planning to communicate while onboard with other guests, learn French first (8 French divers did not speak or did not want to speak any other language - English, German, Spanish, Croatian were options). For me it is clear: never again Vita Xplorer.

I will come back to the Red Sea
I enjoy a lot in this trip with the people (divers). I didn't like the way to manage the tip at the end of the trip, open envelopes and 2 envelopes, one for the dive guide and the other for the rest of the crew. In fact the dive guide ask me about the quantity that I gave (40€ like your web recommended) because he expected 60€. I think the tip must be confidential, only one enevelope per customer and no 2 open evelopes for all the customers. Merry Xmas

From cooking and serving us tasty meals, cleanliness of the boat and cabins to helping us on the diving platform and giving us Zodiac rides to and from dive sites.

Never... VitaXplorer, Corona Horror
Zuerst mal vorneweg, wir sind Erfahrene Bootsafari Gäste und nicht anspruchsvoll. Wir waren vom 10.Okt.2020 bis 17.Okt.2020 auf der VitaXplorer. Angefangen beim Hafen, die VitaXplorer startet nicht dort wo alle Safariboote starten in der New Marina in Hurghada, sondern an einem Steg beim Marriotthotel. Wir waren als Gäste 7 Franzosen, 2 Deutsche, 1 Kroate und 3 Schweizer. Die Gäste aus Deutschland, Kroatien und wir beide aus CH hatten Kabinen auf dem Maindeck. Beim einchecken war ein extremer Dieselgeruch wie ihn noch nie jemand von uns erlebt hat auf einem Boot. Er war so stark das die Augen brannten und wir erbrechen mussten. Die Crew sagte das man nichts machen könne. Nicht mal die Crewmitglieder hielten es länger als 1 Minute in den Kabinen aus. Um Mitternacht wurden alle von dem Maindeck in ein Hotel verfrachtet. Einchecken dauerte 1 Std. da der Inhaber von VitaXplorer was günstiges suchte. Man sagte uns das am nächsten Tag alles besser werde sobald wir abfahren. Das war nicht so. Leichter Dieselgeruch im Hafen ist normal. Es stellte sich heraus das das beim Tanken viel Diesel in den Tankraum lief. Erst nach mehrmaligem waschen des Tankraums und Spülen auf offenem Meer wurde der Dieselgeruch nach 2 tagen erbrechen besser. Das war erst der Anfang.... jeder der Gäste musste mit negativem Coronatest nach Hurghada einreisen. Uns wurde beim Bootbriefing gesagt, das wenn jemand Corona Symptome habe, er in Kabine 2 im Unterdeck Isoliert werde. Es wurde jeden Morgen Fieber gemessen. Als einer der Franzosen am Dienstag mit Halstuch am Frühstückstisch erschien, wurde durch die Crew Fieber gemessen... die Crew machte grosse Augen und wiederholten die Messung mehrmals. Es wurde wild auf Ägyptisch diskutiert. Der Franzose begann zu Husten. Die Crew hat null nichts unternommen. Der Franzose war immer als erster am Buffet und hustete alles voll, vor den Augen der Crew. 5 Tage später hatten wir wider Zuhause angekommen alle Symptome. Alle Gäste des Safaribootes haben sich dort mit dem Coronavirus infisziert. Meine Frau (47)musste hier in der Schweiz Hospitalisiert werden. Wir waren 2 Wochen in Quarantäne, und ich kann wegen akuter Athemprobleme noch immer nicht Arbeiten bis ende November. Wir musten trotzdem den vollen Preis bezahlen, weder Liveaboard noch VitaXplorer hat sich bereit erklärt irgend eine Gutschrift zu veranlassen. Auf telefonanrufe, SMS und E-Mails reagierte die VitaXplorer nicht. Warum auch, man hat ja das Geld zum voraus.... unserer Meinung nach wurde nichts unternommen um die Situation auf dem Boot zu ändern. Im Bad der Kabine (Wir hatten die Suite) wurde der Kübel mit dem verbrauchten WC Papier zum ersten mal nach 3 Tagen geleert. Auf anderen Safaribooten wird sogar 2xTäglich gereinigt und das Zimmer Desinfisziert. Finger weg von diesem Boot Any&Urs First of all, we are experienced boat safari guests and not demanding. We were at the VitaXplorer from October 10, 2020 to October 17, 2020. Starting with the harbor, the VitaXplorer doesn't start where all the safari boats start in the New Marina in Hurghada, but at a jetty at the Marriotthotel. We were 7 French, 2 German, 1 Croat and 3 Swiss guests. The guests from Germany, Croatia and both of us from CH had cabins on the main deck. At check-in there was an extreme diesel smell like none of us has ever experienced on a boat. It was so strong that our eyes burned and we vomited. The crew said that nothing could be done. Not even the crew members could stand it in the cabins for more than 1 minute. At midnight everyone was moved from the main deck to a hotel. Check-in took 1 hour because the owner of VitaXplorer was looking for something cheap. We were told that the next day everything would be better as soon as we leave. It wasn't like that. A slight smell of diesel in the port is normal. It turned out that a lot of diesel ran into the tank room when refueling. Only after washing the tank compartment several times and rinsing in the open sea did

- -Dieselgeruch 2 Nächte bis zum erbrechen. - Corona Infektion der Gäste inklusive. - Keine Stellungsnahme des Betreibers von VitaXplorer, geschweige dann eine Entschuldigung.
