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.

Great experience in the red sea
Great experience, the only weak point had been the dive guides a little to pushy during the dives (we were mostly dive pros so no need to be controlled)

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..

The trip restored my interest and confidence in Red Sea diving; none of the crowds that characterise diving in Egyptian waters.
The trip was excellent, for the reasons outlined. Although Saudi is more difficult to get to than Egypt, it was definitely worth the extra effort

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.

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.
