Sharks and more sharks!
During our dives we were lucky enough to see a great hammerhead, scalloped hammerhead, thresher shark and oceanic white tips. I also enjoyed seeing the clown fish, especially the small cities of anemones with families.

TipTop
A good atmosphere on board - crew, dive guides and captain - a pleasant, well-coordinated team. Food created with love and ideas and tastily prepared. Ship everything tip-top. Five days 360°/24h just our boat - sensational! Chef-diveguide/manager (Sven kahlbrocki) relaxed, reflective, briefings "honest & pleasant". The offer to the guests; guided (standard), semi-guided and unguided - smashing!! Dive sites; always a good choice with dream-reefs included! The "ZODIAC" adventure was missing, but the mother ship was always well moored on the reefs. 30° water temperature: too much for fauna & Ūrīnātor. An all-round successful and well thought-out concept from the provider - to be recommended and invites you to a 13-night Sudan safari....
