Awesome dive trip - North wrecks, Ras Mohamed, Tiran and Safaga
I've enjoyed every dive. I felt safe and enjoyed the option to dive unguided in buddy pairs on some of the dive sites. It was nice to dive at a slow pace to be able to explore and have the time to check out the behaviors of the sea live without rushing. All the wreck dives were amazing. The boat crew and dive guides were always friendly, listened and attended to everyone and provided assistance where necessary or when required. It was an amazing and most enjoyable trip with Discovery II.

Great diving trip
I had a great week aboard the Discovery II. I highly recommend the northern route (North Wrecks, Ras Mohamed, Tiran, Brothers, Safaga (Hurghada - Hurghada)) if you want to see shipwrecks and beautiful coral reefs. The dive sites are definitely worth it! The boat was comfortable, the meals good and plentiful, and the staff attentive. Special mention to Ahmed who was really at the top!The only downside is that there are not enough dive guides on board, and for about half of the dives, only one of the two guides accompanied us. We then had the choice to dive with the guide but in a large group, or to dive independently without a guide. I found this operation to be a bit disappointing and I think it would be better to have 3 guides on board on this 22 passenger boat.

I would repeat without hesitation
We were a group of 5 people and we all enjoyed the experience very much. The rooms are a bit small and the food has been a little better on other boats, but overall the whole experience has been wonderful.The crew is super friendly. Special mention to Ahmed who took care of us every day so that we were as comfortable as possible. The dive guides were also very nice but it is clear that they do not always want to jump into the water. We insisted that we wanted all the guided dives and although in the end they reluctantly accepted, it was clear that they were doing it a bit out of obligation.I read reviews that said they wouldn't let them do dives on their own. We almost always had that option, except in the BDE islands, which had to be guided there no matter what.I also read other reviews about the quality of the boat and that, for us everything was fine. As well as the lack of crew. It's true that it's a small team but you don't lack anything.
