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.

We will be back!!
It was our first dive safari ever and we've loved it. Very organized and very friendly staff. Michael was the perfect dive guide, giving good briefings and a clear plan of the site and safety and what is expected. On some dives we could go on our own or with a guide. We had an amazing time and seen lots of cool animals. I even got a cake since it was my birthday that week, which I didn't expect at all :)We will be back for our next tour with the JP Marine!!! ❤️

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!

We had bad weather and a semi-good visibility (March 2022) but despite the weather, the crew was very helpful and friendly. The boot is showing its age but if you do not expect a 5* cruise you will definitely enjoy it. Food was great and we will come again.

The diving and good vibes of the crew and the guides who went "above and beyond" to meet our expectations!The boat itself is spectacular, the cabins are a bit hot (and at times in the underground ones you can smell a certain smell of fuel/oil), but since you can sleep on the upper deck in the open air there is no problem!Great experience!!
