Familiar and friendly cruise in the red sea

Blue Planet 1 is a serious company that organizes extraordinary cruises. From the very first moment, I felt that the dive guide took the dives very seriously and respected the safety rules. You feel safe during the dives. The dives were very easy with a depth not exceeding 35m. However, you need to be autonomous to fully enjoy them and not be dependent on the dive guide full time. BluePlanet takes you to the most beautiful spots, avoiding other cruises and daily excursions. You are sometimes alone in the red sea :) I will definitely come back with them. Next time South !
