Just exquisite!
The whole trip just came so nicely together, the route, the people, and the wildlife. I never dived with big sharks before, and was a bit anxious about this, but when first one, and on next dive two curious Longimanos appeared, the guide was right next to me, keeping an eye on everything, so I could enjoy watching these large creatures. Thanks for many (17) great dives!

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.

Amazing service from the entire crew.
I could not ask for any better service from everyone in the staff. The guys who help you get ready, the ones driving the zodiacs, and those who cleaned the cabins and public spaces were all very personable and super helpful. Our dive guide was amazing. The chef even made me a birthday cake. Everyone was wonderful.

Great service, great dives
It is a boat with 20guests capacity. Not too many people which was nice. Crew and service were excellent. Dive guides both relaxed, experienced and relaxed.I booked spontaneously shortly before the safari and was more than satisfied.I can recommend the golden dolphin 1 without reservation. Of course also the southern tour, everything was great exactly to my taste

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.

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..

Excellent Trip Thanks to All Crew Onboard !
Watching the Oceanic White Tips from the boat and then being in the water with them while diving. Swimming with dolphins who came to visit! Seeing a Thresher Shark, beautiful corals. Fantastic crew, fantastic, friendly, professional dive guides! Wonderful food! Lovely atmosphere onboard with other guests. Would go on another trip on this boat, however it is the crew who make it so good!
