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.

Amazing pelagic life on a great boat
We were lucky enough to see pretty much every pelagic animal you could dream of, including some whalesharks that gatecrashed our dive on a wreck. The boat is decent for the price, communal areas and dive deck really nice. Food is excellent - I loved the Middle Eastern options. Cabins are fairly basic, very small but comfortable beds, all you really need! If you have a lot of camera gear I recommend taking a multi plug extension lead. Guiding is in pretty big groups (8-9 people) I’ve never had larger than 4 previously. But you can also choose to self guide, which we did on all the night 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!

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!

Great experience
The boat, crew, food, accommodation and diving on this liveaboard were amazing, and truly great value at this price point. The dive sites were lovely with an abundance of marine life, including beautiful hammerheads at Daedulus, which is one of the best things I have ever done in my life. The dive sites sometimes have challenging currents and situations that require your full attention to the dive briefing and guides at all times, so although I really have nothing negative to say about the experience I think it would be pertinent to add a fair warning to ensure your experience is at a level that is appropriate for these dive sites, as the guides will understandably not be holding your hand. I believe the briefings and guides were sufficient but it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure you are diving safely here, in particular minding your deco time and depth and keeping an eye on the guide at all times. However It was a fantastic trip and I will not hesitate to book again. Thank you.

Seeing Hammerhead Sharks on 4 different dives, quite superb. The dive briefings were very detailed & informative with great use of humour too (thanks Peter!), the dive guides were excellent & they looked out for us in rather tricky conditions (down currents/up currents & sudden fast surges etc) which even for experienced divers were quite a challenge!
