AMAZING Red Sea Trip on King Snefro
This trip was absolutely incredible!! The crew were absolutely amazing, and helped where ever they could. Our Dive Master - Samuel, specifically was great!!. From the detail of his briefings, to the attentiveness and knowledge of everything under water. It's unlike any diving we have done. Another highlight was being lucky enough to have a school of about 15 dolphins swim around us. They were playing and having just as much fun as us!

Our eagle eyed guide, Essam, spotted a shark on the first dive! The food was delicious- must have gained a kilo or two in 3 days. Crew was friendly and our tanks were usually filled (not replaced) to over 200 PSI.

Professional staff and a lot of dives in a short period of time
Our guide Mohamed gave, in a very friendly way, great input on how to improve my diving. The dive sites chosen provided diversity even though Thistlegorm was the main goal. The food was great and the crew were very friendly. The boat is smaller than the 20+ diver boats, but in my opinion this made it easier to get to know everyone and it felt like there was more space per diver. Due to this also the rooms are smaller, but that's what to expect. Since this was a short trip I will definetly return for this boat and route. It's a great way to get a lot of diving in a short time. I will make it my "need diving now" goto. Flew from Sweden on a Saturday and back again on Friday morning. In total only 5 days of vacation and at least 3 dives a day during the liveaboard. Great value! I believe this is the first liveaboard I haven't had any complaints, everything felt perfect!

Awesome Diving, Great Service
Our dive guide Alaa was extremely experienced and we felt safe throughout the whole trip. Furthermore, I could tell that he chose the best sites and made sure we were able to see what we wanted to see. SS Thistlegorm was an amazing wreck, we were one of the first ships on the wreck and it made a HUGE difference. Great value, we will be back with King Snefro for more of the Red Sea!

Fantastic in everyway
The trip was absolutely wonderful! Did some local dive sites, and the grand daddy of them all, the Thistlegorm. The entire crew was friendly, helpful, and super attentive. The food was spectacular as well...be warned, you will gain weight on this trip! ;P Ramy was a great guide and obviously knew the sites and when to dive them. We had the Thistlegorm and the Dunraven to ourselves, just the six of us! I highly recommend these guys! 5 stars all the way around!

Beautiful trip
Despite we had a bad weather and we couldn't reach the wreck we were supposed to go for... The diving guide choose very nice alternative locations and we had an amazing trip full of colour and nice dives... Specially, we spotted a hammerhead shark on the reef. The crew of the ship is more than friendly and the food and service is amazing. Hoping to come back and to try to arrive to the famous wreck.
