To live to believe
I had an amazing week, I didn't really know what to expect, this extraordinary, the crew always has a little word, a smile, they help us with each dive, they are really benevolent. The instructors are top notch I was supervised / Ramadan. and the chef cooks 🥰 he delighted us. You have to live it to believe it. The amazing dives, there were night dives every day. I had taken my 93-year-old dad with me, it's not necessarily to be done, but he has stars in his eyes. He is a former sailor and a former diver.I will come back to the Dicovery 1

Great experience with great crew
Actually, everything was perfect. An international diving group that has grown together quite a bit in the one week. The food was great, varied and the crew very helpful.A cake was conjured up for someone on board for their birthday on the last day.Only in the port of Hurghada there is no shore power for the boats, so the ship's engines ran all night on many other boats. In Marsa Alam this was not a problem

Great experience: absolute must!
Saw a lot of sharks (hammerhead, grey reef shark and treasure shark), beautiful coral and marine life!The crew was incredibly friendly, helpful and we laughed a lot together.Dive instructors were skilled and put safety first. And there was always room for humor and fun!Great food galore.Cabins were super clean and we were fully equipped.Nice group of international people. We didn't have a camera, but everyone took a lot of pictures and videos for us.Only point of feedback is that there was no sparkling water or diet soda. Well if that's all there is to it, that's saying something, isn't it?!We will definitely do this more often. We are going to do Discovery 1 again, because we also want to discover the North (we have now seen the South).

Professional and fun dive guides who are always doing extra-effort for their guests to fully enjoy experience. Great itinerary which gives ability to do diversified dives, including very nice coral reefs, shark diving and the best wrecks I've ever seen (SS Thistlegorm and Salem Express). Probably one of the best value for money.

Getting to the remote locations was exceptional and a great way to experience the Red Sea. The whole crew was fun and friendly, while still maintaining a professional and safe demeanor. Our dive guides were AMAZING! Knowledgeable with a great eye for spotting critters. They also split our group into two with similar diving experiences, so everyone felt comfortable and with the right level of guidance.

Only 16 of 19 dives were done
The overall experience has been satisfactory as the staff has been very friendly But 19 dives were offered and we have only done 16 and that three are missing does not seem logical to me since we did not have bad seas or any other inconvenience, I would have liked there to be some night dives, although this if it was not in the Itinerary but since it was a minimum Advanced dive it would have been appreciated at least on my part

Excellent Dive Trip … a lovely group of people
We were so pleased to go back to the Northern dive sights … we were divers there in 1989! So lots of changes . The weather was windy and challenging at times but the crew were excellent and the itinerary changed to where it was safe to dive Very lucky to see White tip sharks , dolphins and the highlight a huge Whale Shark at Ras Mohammad ! A real bonus
