Amazing!
The trip with JP Marine was absolutely fantastic. Everyone working on the boat was so friendly and worked really hard to ensure we had the best experience possible. The dive guides were great people and did a wonderful job in briefing us well and guiding us through some amazing dive spots in the Red Sea. Food was great and plentiful with healthy options. We had a wonderful group of people on the trip from various different countries. Did the BED trip and saw thresher, hammerhead and oceanic white tip sharks, as well as many other amazing creatures. Highly recommended with JP Marine!

St. John's is a stunning reef and it's really worth it. Even though the boat itself does not necessarily promise much luxury in the cabins, it convinces with the mega sympathetic and helpful crew, the space on the sun decks and the beautiful reefs.

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!

I found my home in the Red Sea. I will come back every year.
This stay was a real success! I am used to diving cruises in the Red Sea, I have already done all the itineraries, but more particularly the BDE cruises (it was my 7th). For me, it was the best cruise I've ever done in the Red Sea! Perfect organization! The quality of the diving was absolutely remarkable! We were lucky for sure, but everything was planned to maximize our chances of having underwater encounters. In terms of safety, I have never seen such a level of preparation and anticipation: really congratulations to the dive guides!! The food is exceptional, I eat a lot of vegetables, there were several varieties of raw vegetables and cooked vegetables every day, but also always pasta or chips, meat and fish. There is always dessert, pastry, oriental fruit. It's really great. I haven't been sick once (it's the first time in Egypt!). Whether it's the crew, the catering team and of course Ahmed (special shout out to you my brother!), Mohammed and Mickael: the three best dive guides I've ever had in the Red Sea!I travel several times a year to go on cruises around the world. I have my base in the Maldives, I always return on the same boat. Now I have my base in the Red Sea: it's absolutely certain that my next cruises will be on the same boat and with the same team! (I have more than 900 dives)

I recommande 100%
Had an incredible Red Sea diving experience with this boat. Each dive was breathtaking, featuring unforgettable encounters with hammerhead sharks, crocodile fish, dolphins, and more. The guides were highly professional, attentive, and provided clear briefings. The boat itself exceeded expectations, especially considering the price. The onboard staff were simply delightful. I can't recommend this experience enough! J'ai vécu une expérience de plongée incroyable en mer Rouge avec ce bateau. Les dives étaient toutes sublimes, avec des rencontres aquatiques mémorables : requin marteau, poisson-crocodile, dauphins et bien plus encore. Les guides sont extrêmement professionnels, attentifs et clairs dans leurs briefings. Le bateau était parfait, surtout compte tenu du prix. Le personnel à bord était adorable. Je recommande vivement cette expérience ! Tuve una experiencia de buceo increíble en el Mar Rojo con este barco. Cada inmersión fue impresionante, con encuentros inolvidables con tiburones martillo, peces cocodrilo, delfines y más. Los guías fueron muy profesionales, atentos y ofrecieron sesiones informativas claras. El barco en sí superó las expectativas, especialmente teniendo en cuenta el precio. El personal a bordo fue simplemente encantador. ¡Recomiendo esta experiencia altamente!
