A cruise where we were unlucky in the water but we were accompanied by a fantastic crew
We spent pleasant moments all together, several encounters with oceanic sharks, personally I loved anemona point in Daedalus where we could see dozens of clownfish. The BBQ evening at Elfinstone was a great time with everyone as well

We did not travel on the Al Farouk because we were transferred to another boat at the last minute without being informed beforehand. The new boat was called My Orion.
We were lucky enough to dive with a group of over 20 dolphins. We had a great time with the crew.

À faire et à refaire !
Nous avons eu la chance de croiser des dauphins dans le bleu à brothers. Beaucoup de longimanus ainsi que des requins marteaux, requins renard et requins gris de récifs. Abondance des coraux et des petits poissons de récifs. Tout ce qui nous a manqué cest la macro mais en même temps la croisiere BDE cest le gros et a ce niveau là on a été servis ! 1 plongée de nuit assez belle (danseuses espagnoles, raie torpille et beaucoup de vie en general). Et encore une fois un staff tres gentil et a l'écoute qui se plie en quatre pour passer une super croisiere.

- -visibilité, vie sous marine (coraux et poissons) et conditions de plongée parfaites ! ; -ambiance conviviale avec un équipage au top ; -guide qui sait nous mettre en sécurité (briefings complets avec plusieurs plans selon les courants...) tout en nous laissant beaucoup d'autonomie et de liberté sous l'eau
