I had a wonderful time

Everything was perfect for me. Mo the guide was excellent. The Red Sea is always amazing diving. Lots of oceanic white tips, beautiful corals and many gorgeous fish. The food was great. The boat was very clean. The crew were awesome and made a special effort for a birthday onboard. I had a great time. Thank you.

An unforgettable week

We didn't have any luck with hammerheads, but the dolphins very much made up for them. The crew was patient, amazing, and absolutely professional. Thank you so much for a memorable week! <3 to Kareem, Ali, Dabs, and the entire discovery crew!
