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.

Wundervolle Riffe auf tollem Boot

Ich hatte das Vergnügen, an einer Tauchsafari teilzunehmen, die meine Erwartungen voll erfüllt hat. Das Boot war nicht nur komfortabel, sondern auch gut ausgestattet, was den Aufenthalt äußerst angenehm machte. Die Besatzung zeigte sich äußerst professionell, aufmerksam und freundlich, was zu einer angenehmen Atmosphäre an Bord beitrug. Die Tauchgänge in der Grenzregion zwischen Ägypten und Sudan waren schlichtweg atemberaubend. Die Vielfalt der Meeresbewohner und die faszinierende Unterwasserlandschaft machten jeden Tauchgang zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Die Guides erwiesen sich als sachkundig und sicherheitsbewusst, was mein Vertrauen in die Tauchgänge stärkte. Ein Highlight war die Silvesterparty unter Wasser, eine einzigartige Erfahrung, die ich so noch nie erlebt habe. Das neue Jahr inmitten der Meereswelt zu begrüßen ist mal etwas ganz anderes. Insgesamt kann ich diese Tauchsafari uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Die Kombination aus einem großartigen Boot, einer tollen Besatzung, beeindruckenden Tauchgebieten und einem besonderem Silvesterfest unter Wasser machte diese Reise zu einem unvergesslichen Abenteuer.

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....
