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.

To be done and redone!
We were lucky enough to come across dolphins in the blue at brothers.Lots of longimanus as well as hammerhead sharks, thresher sharks and grey reef sharks.Abundance of corals and small reef fish.All we lacked was the macro but at the same time the BDE cruise is the big one and at this level we were served! 1 quite nice night dive (Spanish dancers, torpedo ray and a lot of life in general). And once again a very nice and attentive staff who bend over backwards to have a great cruise.

- -visibility, underwater life (corals and fish) and perfect diving conditions!; -friendly atmosphere with a top crew; -guide who knows how to put us in safety (complete briefings with several plans depending on the currents...) while leaving us a lot of autonomy and freedom underwater

Expectations well met!
Actually seeing every shark you could expect to see and more; drinking and chatting with people from all over the world and be surprised for dinner with fresh caught fish.

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.
