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!

Worth every penny, great trip.
It was really a great outfit. We actually sailed on the Snefro Spirit which is a larger vessel than the King Snefro 5. There was lots of room to spread out, the rooms were comfortable and tidy, ensuite bathrooms were nice. The food was copious, varied, and delicious. Mungi and Osama, our dive guides, were friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside was how cold it was but, that's pretty tough to control. Thanks for the great trip!

Adventurous experience!
Prestine RedSea nature, thrilling wrecks (Thistlegorm and Dunraven) and great service and guidance on board. It was a really hardcore diving experience to do a liveaboard on a smaller but still comfortable ship. The Ras Mohammed area gives the best fauna which the RedSea has to offer. And with the great experience of Crew and Diveinstructor we've beat the crowds many time and got the divesites for our self! (Yes, even the Thistlegorm!) Food and cleanliness are excellent.

7 days Safari experience in 3 days
I made 10 of my most favorite dives so far. With a nice crew, to famous wrecks south Sinai. The detail attention of the dive guide Mr Mongy made our dives easy and smooth. The chef Mr. Magdy made my favorite dishes, Mr Badsam the barman provided nice and clean services, and Hussain kept putting my fins with a wide smile. I couldn't ask for a better mini safari. So thanks Snefro 5.

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!

Red Sea with intensity
Elements I would like to mention:-Perhaps the selection of dive sites can be improved. Some spots were somewhat ugly like the dolphins without dolphins or the small wreck (I don't remember the name). The great wrecks are memorable!!.-The third day is rushed to arrive at port earlier than scheduled in the schedule. -/The snorkeling option in Ras Mohamed would be a good complement-The 11 possible dives are at the end 9 at most. Perhaps there is a lack of realism in the announcement-Perhaps it would be good to come on board in small one-person bottles, the large ones are fine as a collective element, but it seems excessive for personal useThese observations are not critical but an attempt to provide something that can help them improve, which I believe is what they intend. My degree of satisfaction is very high! Thank you!

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!
