Great trip all around

Took this trip as a female solo traveler. From the moment I was met at the airport and taken directly to the boat, everything was near perfect. Boat is in good shape, crew and guides were extremely kind and helpful, Amazing dive sites - rarely saw other divers (but it was April, so low-season), they paid alot of attention to diving safety, all the divers on board were really friendly, chef made great food all week. All in all, it was everything I wanted out of a dive holiday on the Red Sea. I also really appreciated being able to stay on board 24 hours (plus) after our last dive rather than having to find a hotel to stay at. And they delivered me right back to the airport at the end of the trip. I would absolutely take this trip again.

Celebrated my 63rd birthday on board, chef made me a nice birthday cake and EVERYONE sang me "Happy Birthday" made some lifelong friends on this trip... great value $$$ and compare a few of the dives to Palau, Chuuk Lagoon and Raja Ampat. Plan on coming back soon to dive the south side of the Red Sea. Erik

Wrecks Galore

Diverse dives, especially wrecks, off the boat and Zodiacs at shallow and deep depths. Incredibly attentive crew support. Interesting mix of international guests. Toiletries not provided even though the boat description notes the opposite.

Well organized liveaboard, with great facilities for diving and living.

Overall it was a great trip - good diving spots, and the crew timed them so the water was less crowded.

Welcoming staff, great food, awesome wreck dives

We had a intense week with awesome diving sites and accompanied by a awesome group of divers. The food was amazing and the interior team so welcoming and even took special dietery request into consideration. The boat is in a good condition considering his age, and they took care of the cabins daily. The deckhands were very helpfull and considering withouth rushing you to much. The dive briefings were very well done and left you with no questions. Unfortunately the dive guides seemed a bit tired and not too motivated under water always rushing us a bit, they did the bare minimum regarding guiding under water compared to the quality of the briefing and did not seem to bother saying good bye at the end of the trip. Other than that they seemed realy considering and helpful with any problems. Unfortunately the rental gear has seen better days and I advice you to get your own suits especially during low season when the water is colder, the rental ones wont do much and you will freeze. Further there are not any spares available if something breaks on the trip - I would advicd the company to always get some spare computer/jacket/regulator in the boat in case anything breaks down on the way. Besides those hick ups we had a great time even with the rough conditions regarding the wind and some rough passings - everyone was realy helpful and always tried to improve our stay. Special compliments to the chef and interior chief. I definetly would recommend booking the sea serpent fleet and would have a safari with them again.

Overall the trip was very good the only sour note was regarding the WiFi/ internet access. This ran out almost as soon as we came back into Hurghada Marina.

The dolphin encounters were the highlight but I will use this space to add to my WiFi comment above. Internet access ran out almost as soon as we returned to Hurghada Marina. Which is when it is most needed by guests to contact family, confirm hotel bookings, confirm flights and critically in these days sort out Covid requirements for returning home. If it is to be restricted to 30gb then turn it off when leaving port and switch it back on when the boat returns!
