Amazing trip!
Golden Dolphin delivered the experience beyond expectations! Nothing to complain about, all perfect! Boat, equipments, crew, office service and the dive guides all were just great! Most importantly I felt very safe, because of how organized they were, and how responsible the dive guide was. They take safety seriously and are very keen to details. I had a great time with golden dolphin and already can say next time when I visit Red Sea again I will definitely go with them onboard again! (Highly recommend their newest boat VI)!

Wonderful week of diving aboard Golden Dolphin 2!
Omar was an experienced, professional and fun dive guide. Together with the helpful crew, everything was arranged perfectly. Marine life and especially the coral were in good condition and incredibly beautiful. Lots of fish, even some sharks, turtles and rays. We were very lucky because we were the only boat at most locations!

An experience to dive for...
I am a vegan and the cooking staff was very considerate and accommodating. The boat is nice, the crew awesome, and the dive guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The southern part of the red sea has breathtaking reefs, amazing coral gardens, and some awesome negative entry sites. The whole trip was organized very well. If you are reading this and plan to visit egypt, please avoid and discourage the use of plastics and plastic bottles. Most people who visit egypt are educated and have the awareness to say no to the use of plastic in any form. Help preserve the beauty of Egypt by cultivating a sustainable ecosystem.

four to the North
we were only four (4!) divers + 1 guide on this tour, quite an experience - thanx to Golden Dolphin that we still could take all of the iternary. The dolphins of Sha'ab El Erg were in the mood to interact with us - how cool that was! Only two other boats at the Thistlegorm - always worth another dive, down the decks of Giannis D - amazing! Every single night dive was most enjoyable. The drift dives at shark reef among the biggest schools of fish ever - moving! Also moving was wind and waves on a two hours crossing - almost scary and I had to rely on Dramenex, but the crew made an excellent job, likewise our guide. Everything was on track even as we lost one of the ships propellers (four guests only need one propeller ;-) ) Solid 30% Nitrox in the tank throughout the week Thank U big time! What I didn't like was the last day in Hurgada at the Golden Dolphin Pier which was at this time a building site and about 4km south the new Marina and €275.- fees (national park, port, fuel) - the most I've ever had to pay, other operators charge less to none.

Will be back
From the outside, the boat is getting on in years. Luckily we had a cabin on the upper deck. Which we found to be very good. For the first liveaboard we were satisfied. The bottle filling, organization, worked great. The team was super well-rehearsed. Due to the last three windy days, the visibility and the crossing were of course a bit shearer, but the captain led us safely to the harbor. Thank you and see you soon. At breakfast I don't wish for a little more variety. Toast every day is not so great. In the cabin you could tighten a little screws, put drawers back in so that they don't fly out again and again during strong winds/waves.

Amazing oceanic whitetip experience
Really enjoyed my week diving the BDE itinerary with Golden Dolphin. I had perhaps expected to see a few more sharks on the trip and the dives were quite similar over the course of the week but that is a reflection of the BDE itinerary and not the operator. Boat was clean and comfortable, outside decks were nice, the food a bit repetitive for vegetarians by the end of the week but still really tasty for how many people the boat is catering for. To be picky, I would have liked a better choice of alcohol and filter coffee available with greater frequency, but in general the trip was great value

A once in a life time trip
Every morning I felt like I woke up in a National Geographic special. I never knew what I might see next. Whether it was diving the deep blue with schools of hammerhead sharks, swimming with dolphins, seeing manta rays, or hanging out with Oceanic White Tipped Reef sharks, each dive was an adventure. With approximately 900 dives under my belt it is hard to wow me, and I was completely blown over. I definitely plan on returning. The amenities were very comfortable and posh. I loved having my own terry cloth robe to slip into after each dive and being handed a glass of juice to rehydrate. I felt very pampered.
