Very, very great
Despite sometimes very windy weather with a lot of swell, the guides always made the best of it and looked for dive spots that were safe to dive despite the weather.Support at the airport and pickup service perfect, as in itself the whole trip was carried out very professionally.

Amazing Trip!
Our experience on the Golden Dolphin was outstanding, from start to finish. The organisation of the team is excellent which made the transfer from the airport efficient and easy, the staff were really friendly and happy to help out with anything you need. The food was first class! Three large meals a day with different choices of food, fish, meat, salad and veg. The team also provided snacks and fresh fruit in-between meals so you will not go hungry on this boat. The dive guides were very helpful in and out of the water and good fun too. They chose a really good route which maxed out the best diving each day. On the boat the cabins, lounge and sun decks were kept clean and tidy. This is a fantastic boat with a team that really cares so would recommend to anyone looking to dive the red sea - we will be back.

Perfect!!!
The trip was just perfect!It starts with the pick-up and transfer to the boat, continues with the helpfulness of the entire crew, the perfect timing at the best dive sites, the cleanliness and service on board and in the room, the absolutely fabulous food, the great dive guides and ends with a huge longing for more beautiful stays on the Golden Dolphine I. I will be back!! :-)

Book with Golden Dolphin! The safest and most fun way to see almost everything in the Red Sea!
I don't even know where to begin. From the beginning to the end I had enjoyable moments with the people on the boat and the crew. They were kind and helpful and fun. Their penchant for safety was clear and so were the dive briefings. I loved having nitrox and wifi when available. We saw so much life under the water! It was warm and visibility was fantastic! We saw hammerheads, octopus, manta rays, eagle rays, so many moray eels, hawkfish, puffers, baby clownfish!, red anemones, nudibranchs and so much more. It was some of the best diving I've ever experienced. They even let us jump in the water after our dive to swim with dolphins!! How cool is that? So wonderful. The cabin was clean and comfortable with A/C, which was so nice. The food was also absolutely scrumptious, props to the chef and his assistant. The captain also worked hard bringing us from place to place in such a timely manner. Highly, highly recommend going with Golden Dolphin and I loved being on Golden Dolphin 1 as it is a bit smaller, but that's a personal preference.

- The sheer amount of life in the water - so the locations of the dives were incredible. The staff was so fun and friendly, really made the trip that much more exciting. I felt really safe on the boat and in the water with the guides, which means my fun is maximized..

Nice trip
Definitely famous Thistlegorm (sad to see it is slowly degrading over the years), but also other nice and accessible wrecks during North Trip. It's maybe a bit chilly this time of year, especially when undressing after dive, but tranquility was worth it.
- Recommended for
- Upgraded to bigger & even nicer boat. No crowds this time of year (just 8 divers on 28 diver boat), just 2-3 diveboats at Thistlegorm & generally we were the only boat on most of the locations.

A super week with beautiful and versatile dive sites and 1 very good boat
For me, the whole week was 1 highlight and we were once again very lucky with the weather and didn't have to fight with high waves. The beautiful dive sites, especially in the south, were perfectly briefed and guided by our professional guides Rudi and Omar.There are also dive sites that are ideal for beginners as well as snorkelers.All of us (my 5 diving friends and I) felt very comfortable on this boat, which I would recommend at any time.The entire organization from start to finish also worked out perfectly.
