Decent experience but feel short of what I thought a red sea dive trip would be like

Decent boat, good food, helpful and friendly boat staff, dive masters could do a better job during dive of showing us highlights of the dive vs just hunting for big things, zero WiFi internet access even at the docks,

The famous B, D, E safari for good value with experienced dive guide.

The boat wasn´t overcrowded, good weather, excellent underwater visibility. Downsides: not enough dives, food, rush
