Another great week with JP Marine (our fourth time with them).

Habili Marsa Alam, Daedalus (manta rays, hammerhead, & thresher shark)Rocky, Zabargad and Gota Nabira. The organization of the trip & itinerary by Sergei was excellent. We did have a problem on board with the compressor but the right decisions were made (we went to a the closest port) and it had only a very small impact on the itinerary & dives. Excellent decision-making. A great thanks to captain Mohammed, Sergei, Peter and all of the crew and the chefs. We will see you again in August 2024.
