Good diving experience in a very comfortable boat
Really amazing trip and awesome accommodations but too conservative in some diving spots. There were a few diving spots that added not much to the trip but in an overall experience very nice diving sites

Amazing NDE tour: sharks, beautiful coral, excellent crew!
A fantastic NDE trip at the end of July on the Discovery II. The crew was friendly, sociable and always extremely helpful. Meals and snacks were extensive and very good. Ship very nice and always clean (Ahmed is a winner!).The dives were amazing: beautiful coral, lots of fauna, multiple sharks and even a Mola Mola. Instructors Khalid, Ezz and Mohammed were professional, enthusiastic and constantly made us feel safe. In short: a great trip without negatives. We will definitely be back. Thanks!

We will definitely do this again in the future, so see you next year!
As my first ever Liveaboard this one totally exceeded all expectations! The crew was always ready to help you with your equipment and your air was filled before you knew it. The food was amazing with lots of choice and the huts were already cleaned when you returned from your first dive of the day. Although, what you see while diving depends on wildlife, we saw so many amazing animals and the wrecks were also really great to dive through. All dive guides made you feel safe while doing the dives, even the ones you are nervous about. Thanks to all of you for this amazing time on board of Discovery II!

My first liveaboard experience
My first liveaboard experience and I liked it. Our diveguides Abdu and Khalid and the crews were very attentive and caring. I liked the relaxed but efficient organization for each daily dive schedules. The weather was nice, but it was still cold underwater with a 5 mm wetsuit. Enough shaded areas on the boat and good to have hot shower after each dive. The diving was easy overall with a good mix of the blue and the corals. Sometimes, I expericed some sea sickness, but a medication helped. We also had a chance to snorkel once and a few chances for unguided dives, and a night dive, which was unexpected but nice to have one. The dive sites were sometimes quite crowded. Overall, we made lasting memories. Thanks all.

Wonderful Liveaboard !!
Good boat, the ideal size for me, I don't like very large boats with many divers. The crew, the guides, the cooks... Very very good. Very good choice of dive sites. A very responsible captain who made the crossings during the night so we could take advantage of the day diving. In short, a wonderful trip... A very cheerful and fun dive group !!

- Excellent crew, guides and choice of dive spots. I am 78 years old and although I have many dives it is difficult for me to scmine with a full tank. The crew and guides made sure that I could sit at the stern of the boat and there equip myself and ditto on the Zodisc and also that I could climb the ladder with my equipment when I left the sea. I felt very cared for !!. It's the 4th time I've ridden the Discovery 2. Sometimes the comfort and quality of the week of the crossing depends on how your group is confirmed. This group was made up of young and cheerful people. A wonderful group !!.

Awesome dive trip - North wrecks, Ras Mohamed, Tiran and Safaga
I've enjoyed every dive. I felt safe and enjoyed the option to dive unguided in buddy pairs on some of the dive sites. It was nice to dive at a slow pace to be able to explore and have the time to check out the behaviors of the sea live without rushing. All the wreck dives were amazing. The boat crew and dive guides were always friendly, listened and attended to everyone and provided assistance where necessary or when required. It was an amazing and most enjoyable trip with Discovery II.
