Two weeks of vitamine Sea!
Wow, what a trip! Spending two unforgettable weeks diving in the Red Sea was nothing short of incredible. We explored legendary wrecks up north and visited the famous trio of shark hotspots—The Brothers, Daedalus, and Elphinstone—all in one epic itinerary. But it didn't stop there; diving at St. Johns, Zabargad, and Rocky Island made sure every day was filled with spectacular underwater adventures and breathtaking encounters. What truly set this journey apart was the exceptional crew and our amazingly cool dive guides. Their enthusiasm, skill, and deep knowledge of each dive site made every moment underwater not just safe, but truly special. They transformed good dives into extraordinary experiences we won't soon forget. And let's talk food—this wasn't your standard liveaboard fare! With a dedicated kitchen team serving sumptuous three-course meals for both lunch and dinner, complete with a talented pastry chef crafting fresh desserts daily, we enjoyed culinary delights worthy of a fine dining restaurant. Every meal was a delightful surprise that kept us eagerly anticipating the next. As if that wasn't enough, having a crew member who previously honed his bartending skills at one of Egypt's top hotels ensured every happy hour was vibrant, refreshing, and perfectly crafted. It truly brought us together each evening, adding an extra layer of joy and camaraderie to our already unforgettable days. This wasn't just a dive trip—it was a dream vacation. Thanks to the wonderful crew, outstanding dive sites, gourmet meals, and amazing atmosphere, this journey in the Red Sea was genuinely one of the best experiences we've ever had.

Excellent discovery of the Red Sea from North to South!
A top experience for a discovery of the major sites of the Red Sea. A professional crew and supervision that made this trip not only interesting for the sites chosen and the diving moments but for the atmosphere on board the boat! To recommend with your eyes closed!

Excellent experience on the Red Sea
It was amazing to see the Red Sea and dive there. The boat was well set up and comfortable. There was plenty of space and the cabin was roomy. The staff on the boat were more like friends and really know what they are doing. I always felt safe and comfortable. As a dive professional myself I’m always thrilled to see safety measures that go above and beyond. One example would be the encouragement of safety stops even when not necessary according to the ERDP.

Will definitely be returning
Very well organised. It was lovely to have two to three days of absolute solitude with no other boats or divers around. The whale shark(s), manta, turtles, and other marine life that we managed to encounter were an added plus. The guides were knowledgeable and professional. Crew was also always very helpful and friendly. I particularly enjoyed the towel art that welcomed me back from my first dive every morning
