Good safari on simple boat
The dives were really awesome except for the first day and the last day. The guides now know the diving area very well, one has been in Saudi Arabia for three years. There were tiger, silk and hammerhead sharks to see and beautiful reefs similar to those in Egypt.

A magnificent liveaboard
The dive guide worked hard to get us to see a lot of life on the dives and they were long dives. The staff were very friendly, they made us have a very good week. Beautiful dives with areas of well-preserved coral and lots of life.

My first liveaboard on Almonda, stunning exeperience
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing my first liveaboard on Almonda, and it was truly amazing. From the moment I stepped on board, the crew was available and always smiling, creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Their great organization and flexibility made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable. The food on Almonda exceeded my expectations. Each meal was delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared, making every dining experience a delight. Dives were nice despite the season, the corals were beautiful and marine life on and off due to hot water temperature which is notmal in July. Overall, my time on Almonda was exceptional. The combination of a fantastic crew, superb organization, delightful food, and stunning coral reefs made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Almonda to anyone looking for a liveaboard adventure.

great liveaboard in unchartered areas in saudi redsea
Almonda was a great liveboard experience in saudi red sea. I did 19 dives, 2 were exceptional, 8 were very good, 5 okay and 4 quite bad as we stayed in the blue and literrally saw nothing airport transfers excellent, cabin crew excellent, dive crew excellent, food excellent. i liked that we were some of the first divers to do these dives. high risk high reward a few things to improve: - i think i was the only one with a bad cabin experience where water was dripping from the ceiling on the bed and the cabin smelled exhaust gas for the entire trip - it would be great to get better wifi. today satellite wifi is availble for cheap - our guide was great technically, as a leader but first time diving on these sites so it would be good if ocean breeze take the dive guides to sites before they lead group

Diving in the pristine reefs of Saudi Arabia
It was a great week of diving. The boat was recently renovated. The crew was super friendly and attentive. Most of the reefs were pristine, and we saw some sharks and pelagics. A special mention to Leena , the transfer representative who did everything to retrieve my delayed luggage and send it to the boat before departure. It was really nice.

Nice dives with tigers and hammerheads on many dives!
I enjoyed the boat but there was a definite gasoline smell in cabin 4 for the first 3 days.
