An unforgettable experience in the Red Sea
All the details of the meeting and pick-up points up to the hotel or airport, all the very nice passengers, nice dives, the climate of the area, we only came across one boat in the sea, so this creates relaxing dives. The boat is very spacious, large living room to relax and for the breefing, always very detailed, safe diving. absolutely to be recommended. We will be back

Great alternative in the Red Sea to the usual Egyptian places. Very quiet and relaxing being the only boat for a week.
Very nice being the only boat from Saudi in the Red Sea so you just see no-one else for a week. The diving was great, reefs generally in pretty good condition (albeit with a LOT of fishing wires) and we saw hammerheads and grey reef sharks (amongst the usual Red Sea wildlife).

A Very Special Experience
We had a great time aboard the Almonda. From the airport pickup to the drop-off, we felt we were in good hands. As there were few of us on the boat, we all had private cabins, an unexpected treat. We arrived late and the next day was an early one, so most of us were tired but glad to get into the tropical waters. The early morning dives were wonderful, a great way to start the day and the best possibility of seeing big fish. The dive director was well experienced from around the world so a source of excellence and knowledge. The food was good, not the best I've had but satisfying. The crew bent over backwards to consider special requests. We did not see any other boats or divers the entire trip, which made it very unique.

- Our dive director and the crew were great, very friendly and helpful.. Excellent visibility and the state of the corals was good.. The daily agenda and dives were well organised.

A very good trip to gain experience from the challenging dives with current.
Overall, a very good experience! I thought the dives were challenging. Our dive guide Lee seemed a bit bored but found him very nice. But he was less attentive to us underwater. He was a very good skilled diver and knew thee sites very well. Lee was pleasant and friendly.

Super reefs
Everything about the trip exceeded expectations. The reef diving was excellent, and devoid of the usual features associated with overdiving.
- Recommended for
- Professional, safety focused guides and crew.. Excellent and varied reef diving. Also lovely Wreck,Iona.. As no other liveaboard or dayboats at the dive sites, the sites were quiet, with undisturbed life..

Absolutely amazing dive
The meeting at the airport was smooth and ahead of schedule. The connection @the airport by Leena was very organized. She got there ahead of time. Connected with everyone and helped introductions. The bus to the port was clean, good air conditioning and had newer leather seats. The bus was large enough where the 15 of us had our own 2 seats. The boat is beautiful, in great condition, the crew is fantastic, the beds are heaven. I think memory foam of some sort. Briefings are high quality. Pictures of fish. The dive guides Maged and Nina were professional and experienced. Their insight and patience made each dive amazing.
