Highly recommended 👌
If you're considering a Red Sea liveaboard, I can't recommend JP Marine highly enough. The biggest reason was the incredible crew. Mohammed, our cruise director and fearless leader, was exceptional. His experience showed in everything he did. Every briefing was organized, clear, and informative, making everyone feel confident and prepared. Beyond that, his passion for sharks and marine life was contagious, and by the end of the trip he had created an atmosphere where the boat truly felt like family. A huge shoutout to our dive guide, Sindbad. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and fun. He is constantly studying and learning to become an even better guide. He took the time to learn your favorite marine life and somehow always managed to find and point it out underwater. Diving with him was an absolute highlight, and JP Marine is lucky to have him on their crew. On our return to port, we experienced an unavoidable injury onboard. It was during this moment that the professionalism of the crew truly stood out. Mohammed handled the situation with calm, organization, and obvious emergency training. Sindbad was incredibly thoughtful, caring, and supportive throughout. It gave me complete confidence that if an emergency ever occurred, you couldn't ask for a better team to be with. The food deserves its own review. Every meal was exceptional, with an impressive variety throughout the week while still bringing back some favorite dishes everyone looked forward to. And the desserts... absolutely unforgettable. I'll genuinely miss meal times on this boat! Special thanks to Hussain for adding thoughtful touches to every dining experience while keeping both the cabins and the entire boat spotless. I'd also like to recognize Abdo, who I had the pleasure of diving with once. He was calm, professional, and always prioritized diver safety. Thank you to our captain and assistant captain for safely navigating us to incredible dive sites and timing site relocation for optimum comfort. Homada and the rest of the deck crew were always there to help with gear, zodiac operations, and keeping everyone's spirits high. Finally, thank you to Ahmed, our mechanic, for keeping the compressors running flawlessly and making sure we always had air to breathe and a boat running at its best. This crew wasn't just excellent at their jobs. They genuinely cared about giving every guest the best experience possible. Thank you, JP Marine, for an unforgettable week in the Red Sea. I hope to dive with you all again someday!

It was great, as usual! Thank you :-)
Diving with dolphins and spending a good half hour on the landing with a longimanus on Christmas Eve, then swimming with dolphins on Christmas Day... What more could you ask for?Cruises on the JP are always good. That's why, for the past 15 years, I've only been going on this boat.

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.

from airport transfers to cruise, crew, boat and dives everything was perfect. Some dive site were really stuning even so few sharks were met. We had a lot of fun not only diving but also with crew and all divers teams
