Great trip aboard the Blue Storm!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on this liveaboard. It met our expectations and the staff were very accommodating and met all our needs. The lead dive guide was very informative and friendly. We had 4 snorkelers on board and they changed the itinerary a bit to bring us to some dive sites that were snorkeler friendly. The diving in the Red Sea was OK....glad we did it, but we wouldn't go back as there are other areas that have lots more to see.

Thank you for a great time!
We had a fantastic week on board of blue storm with Haitham, Tarek and the entire crew. Although I am no early bird and the wake up call at 5:45 am is incredibly ealy, I really enjoyed the trip, felt very safe and looked after by the entire crew and had lots of funny moments with the other divers.

Best liveaboard I’ve been on.
The highlights of our trip are all about the crew. I have been on liveaboard dive boats in South America, Indonesia, south east Asia, and the Caribbean and I have never experienced service like I did on blue storm. From help donning your wetsuits and your fins to over the top food with beautiful presentation. The guides were professional, experienced, and shared in the enthusiasm of their clients. The boat was perfect in every way. With all the liveaboard choices out there my wife and I were so happy we picked Blue Storm.

Unforgettable days. You come as a stranger and leave as a friend
Highlights?! Where to start? Great guides, great and partly individual diving options. If you want, you will also be guided by the guides (by the hand) The crew on board was also great. English and German works well. Elphinstone, with my earnest encounter with the Longimanus, was impressive. Actually, we met all the great animals of the Red Sea. Only some of the dive sites are unfortunately already subject to coral death. Very sad to see.But all in all a great safari with a great boat, great crew, well organized and always recommendable.

Long live the South!
The crew is attentive, the boat is very well maintained and the rooms on the upper deck are comfortable. The groups are large in number: 2 guides only on board for a boat that can accommodate up to 22 people. They are attentive to the respect of underwater life. We discovered beautiful sites and amazing caves and canyons.

Very lovely trip!
I had a wonderful time. Tarik and Hasan as dive guides were excellent. They stressed safety while in the water and I appreciated this. Good safety briefing about the ship at the beginning of the trip. The crew on board was amazing. Helpful and kind. Food was excellent. Boat was very clean and well cared for and the common spaces were comfortable. I had a cabin below deck at the back of the ship (cabin 2) and would not recommend it. The cabins on the main deck and above were much better ventilated and I’ll opt for this next time.

Great trip on Blue Storm!
Just got back from an amazing liveaboard trip. The service and friendliness of the crew were incredible. A special thanks to the Salon team (Bahaa and Abu Omar) for their smiles and attentiveness. The seamen were incredible at handling the Zodiacs in rough seas and supporting us during diving operations, both when getting ready and when returning from a dive. The dive guides were knowledgeable and handled briefings and dives professionally. The boat, Blue Storm, offered all the comforts needed and the daily activities were meticulously organized. Although the food in general was great, I have some recommendations regarding guests with dietary restrictions. It would be excellent if the staff were more familiar with the vegan diet and could offer a wider variety of plant-based proteins during meals. Also, unfortunately, we experienced some members of our group damaging the corals on multiple occasions, even breaking big chunks with their fins. The dive guides did mention paying more attention during briefings after the incidents were reported. I would recommend insisting much more strongly on this point during the initial briefings to prevent this kind of damage from happening in the first place. Highly recommended!

Wonderful trip, very good ship, wooden floors
very good and soft beds good to sleep, space between beds in lower deck cabin a little narrow but totally sufficient, silent, good interior cabin quality 90% perfect, more dry fresh air ventilation from outside to cabin would be good, temperature setting for shower on dive deck sometimes a little difficult to contol, nice and rich cruise ship architecture with balconies, crew handling with zodiac entry and exit perfect, a lot of high quality sitting space all around the ship available, sunshade and wind protected areas available, very silent engines and generators, good nitrox and 220bar, good spirit in the ship, save stairs, perfect clean and good sanitary rooms, stabile drive through the waves, a romantic trip to the shore of an island, nice daedalus lighthouse trip, late away from harbour- and sadly early return, only 1 nightdive, great crew and ship, good food and relax holiday

A perfect trip
I'm grateful for beautiful hammerhead shark encounters! The guides drew our attention not only to big fish, but also to smaller creatures like snails, which I find just as fascinating. The dive sites were chosen in a flexible and intelligent way to avoid no crowdy dives. In addition, the captain and crew were very considerate of passengers who were seasick and conducted the voyages accordingly. The cabins were clean and comfy and the vegan / plant-based food options were excellent!

Who likes luxury, many people and many TG suitable, suitable
The boat is luxurious, large, clean and well maintained. Instead of the South Tour Brothers-Deadleaus-Elphinestone we had to do the North Tiran Tour due to the strong wind conditions, which lasted five days.Which was good for me, even though I had done the North Wreck & Reef tour the week before. In any case, it was also relaxing. Four dives per day. Unfortunately, I had a bit of a cold for two days, but I quickly got help from the boot pharmacy. So that I could continue diving. Were all helpful. A fin tape broke, it was put on and mended by hand. There were also beautiful cloth animals in the room again and again. 2-3 times a day the garbage was emptied, the room tidied up. There was also a barbecue evening. On a beautiful bay. Our guide (Mohamed) was also relaxed and let us dive back to the boat on our own every now and then. The diving level of the divers was also taken into account.Unfortunately, there is a negative point.On the 3rd day of diving I had gastrointestinal problems. After several questions, min.. 8 more passengers. It was funny that I didn't have anything on the liveaboard before. Here, too, I immediately got help from the boot pharmacy. I therefore recommend Perenterol 250mg, which I usually have with me in Egypt.If you like 4 dives a day, everything is timed. We were 23 people, three groups. You come out as the last group and the cables are already connected to the tanks, the larger Zodiac is taken up. It was sometimes too fast for me personally. Especially when we didn't have to go any further but stopped at the dive site. So sometimes you had to climb over it.I also liked the fact that special requests veggie / fish were taken care of.On night dives, I also particularly liked the fact that the boat is illuminated blue at the bottom and was super recognizable next to many boats.But what I also don't like is that you collect the fee for the national park on the day of arrival. The next day you learn that you are doing another tour and will be paid again because of it. Something like that is not customer-friendly and I would change it. Only when you know the permit or the weather/wind conditions from the navy could you collect this fee. I know that you pay for this at the end.

Alles was perfect!
What a great trip with Blue Storm! Everything was right! The boat is beautiful, clean and fully equipped. The staff is friendly and helpful and the dive guides are extremely experienced. The food was insanely tasty every time and always a lot of choice. I myself am vegetarian and a vegetarian dish was prepared especially for me every time. And during every meal, the service was fantastic! 1x we even had a nice bbq dinner on the deck. The crew had beautifully decorated the deck, set the tables beautifully and again insanely good food. The Blue Storm team had made a nice planning for the trip and always communicated clearly about it. Dive briefings, for example, always started on time and with sufficient surface interval during the dives. As for diving; We went at the beginning of March, be sure to bring a 5mm wetsuit ;) We haven't seen a lot of 'big stuff', it seems to be too cold for that at this time of year. Nevertheless, we made many beautiful dives. The coral reefs are beautiful, versatile and extremely colorful. And the caves in St Johns are very nice! Next time we will definitely go with Blue Planet again! Thank you all!

Very modern boat but difficult conditions in April.
In mid April the conditions are a bit challenging. Strong winds forced us to stay in port for the first full day, missing dives. The diving in the caves at St John‘s and other places was fun. Elphinstone disappointed, but we could only do the walls due to current. Need to come back later in the year. Cabins and service were very good. The dives in general were very good, but the conditions a bit challenging.

Very modern boat, but lacking the character of old Mahagoni boats.. Very good and capable guides, but only two are not enough when one is also teaching a course.. The crew is very friendly..
