When are we going back?
Very comfortable boat, the guides and crew are really great! Very good understanding despite sometimes the language barrier. The seabed is beautiful, however not expecting to see shark or big shark on every dive is even rather rare.

Really nice experience with silky sharks
I had an amazing trip with JP Marine, the crew was fantastic and very caring. The food was excellent, and they even prepared a special dinner for New Year's Eve. Very good dive briefings, and whenever possible, we were allowed to dive as buddy team, which was nice. We had great encounters with silky sharks.

One week that passed too fast!
The dive sites were the best that we could possibly get - beautiful aquatic life, the corals, the reefs, it was amazing to see. The dive guides were very knowledgeable and careful about doing all dives in a safe way, always making sure that we get the best experience, no matter the diver's skills level. That way everyone could feel comfortable, safe and enjoy the best experience!

Great dive experience in the Red Sea!
We did the Golden Mix Tour in April. Even though it wasn't shark season, we saw some hammerheads and a longimanus. Lots of pretty coral, several turtles, some nice caves/caverns, an incredicle amount of dolphins at dolphin house. The guides of JP Marine were great (very passionate about diving and very friendly) and we had a super nice group of divers with a fairly balanced mix of nationalities. I had an amazing experience as a solo traveler. Can definitely recommend to all dive enthusiasts.

Safe and exciting cruise, good value for money
Very nice liveaboard, in a boat with all the essential requirements (no frills) and a very professional team of dive guides (especially Ahmed, very strict and attentive to details) and crew (special mention to the cook). Highly recommended route. Although we didn't have great luck in encountering sharks (only some silky and reef, a fox from afar), most of the areas were very beautiful and we were able to do long dives thanks to the generously loaded bottles (250 bars).

Great first experience in the Red Sea
We choose JP Marine with full knowledge of the facts: because we have a tight budget, and we are looking for a boat without fuss to take us diving on great spots. Mission accomplished with flying colors during this week of October in the company of 9 different nationalities. The boat and the cabins are very decent (be careful with the air conditioning at night though), the crew was very caring, the kitchen is nice (even if several dishes come back during the week), and you can feel that the company is trying to make efforts on safety (we did a fire alarm exercise). For me it's a great value for money. We missed the hammerhead sharks, but came across whitetip sharks and a turtle, and had a magical time with a school of dolphins in Sataya. Nitrox fluctuates between 26 and 30%, and the inflation is more than generous. I recommend.

Very cool liveaboard
Had a great week on the JP Marine. On the one hand, I was super lucky with the other guests. It was a super international diving group that was really fun to dive with. In addition, the guide or the two guides were great. The cook and his crew served the best food every day and the rest of the boat crew was extremely competent, always helpful and in a good mood. This makes such a tour fun. Thank you very much!

The crew as well as the guides were super friendly, this cruise was very friendly. April was not necessarily the most suitable month for sharks, but we had the pleasure of snorkeling and diving with dolphins at Shoab Marsa Allam, which was a memorable moment! We will do this cruise again but another month because the itinerary remains super interesting to see big!
