Dr. Petr Paszek opened Planet Divers in Dahab in 1998. M. Abdelghany Saleh was a diving instructor there. Ten years of diving, instructing and guiding later, they built the boat they couldn’t find anywhere else — M/Y Aphrodite, launched in 2008. Today Mohamed is the sole owner, and the same founding principle still drives everything: a boat built for divers, by a diver.

故事
决定在正确的地方建造正确的船。
The story begins with a decision. Dr. Peter Paszek and M. Abdelghani Saleh — a Czech and an Egyptian, both passionate about the Red Sea — had spent years taking people underwater. Peter as the owner of Planet Divers dive centre in Dahab, M. Abdelghani Saleh as a diving instructor there. And for years, they were frustrated by the same thing: the boats weren’t built right.
Dr. Petr Paszek opens Planet Divers dive centre in Dahab, on the Sinai Peninsula. Mohamed joins as a diving instructor. Both are passionate technical divers. Over the following years Planet Divers becomes a well-established operation — and the place where the idea for a liveaboard built differently first takes shape.
