Trip Operators

These are the operators the Atlas trusts to run a liveaboard trip. Some own their fleet outright, others charter from established vessels. What matters is that they are accountable for the group, the guide and the dive experience from start to finish. Booking through an operator means someone with a stake in the outcome is managing the details. For most divers, that makes a meaningful difference.

All operators listed here are known personally to the Atlas and operate to standards we'd be comfortable diving with ourselves. We do not list operators we haven't verified.

TheyCallMeDugongi
Founded by Karim Kabbage & Ali Labib

Egypt's most social liveaboard operator. TheyCallMeDugongi trips are built around one simple idea: put the right people on a boat and get out of the way. Mostly Egyptian divers, friends-of-friends, all routes across the Red Sea. You dive hard, you eat well, and by the end of the week you've got 20 new best friends. One group, no sub-groups, no cliques. The dive guide is hands-on and genuinely excellent underwater.
