Customer Review
”Beautiful boat, delicious food, wonderful service, great diving, will definitely go back!
1) Great itinerary and definitely value for the price we paid.
We started diving from the North of Sinai, at the beautiful Ras Mohammed reefs, did the Thistlefgrom, Dunsraven and Yolanda wrecks, dove at the Panorama reef and the eerie Salem Express wreck near Safaga, then onto a reef near Marsa Alam where we snorkeled with school of dolphins!
Then it’s the Brother Islands where we saw the legendary Thresher shark and were circled by a curious (man-eating) Oceanic White-tip shark on different morning dives! Wow! Then to top off the week, the Hurghada Marriott Hotel that ‘Blue Force 3’ had paid for and booked us into, at the end of the liveaboard, was a superb hotel that had helped me to line up great activities to do in and near Hurghada at great prices and no hassle!
2) Staffs and crews were the best!
The 3 dive guides were always smiling and never got tired of our many requests and questions, very professional and very knowledgeable of the Red Sea dive sites, marine life and very safety conscious and always look out for our well being. The crews on the boat are very pleasant and ever helpful and they keep the boat in tip top shape and so clean!
3) Luxurious dive boat—food is wholesome, filling, plentiful and tasty!
The pastries are out of this world! Drinks of all kind (and clean glasses) are always available. The staff kept everything tidy and spotless at all times. Comfortable chairs and sofa everywhere for resting and lapping. A great selection of current and old movies! Powerful flushing toilet, piping hot shower at all hours. In addition, onboard reference catalogues of Red Sea sites and marine animals were very useful and educational! I won’t hesitate to go back in a second!” Recommended for: 1) Great itinerary, thus value for money paid, 2) very knowledgeable, safety-conscious and super friendly staff, 3) luxurious dive boat.

”First time on a lifeaboard! What a ln experience! Since this was my first lifeaboard I didn’t really know what to expect so I can’t compare. So the boat was as new. 2 come zodiacs with it to bring you to the dive spots. I had a room with 1 single bed and a double bed.
Since we were with 17 people I had the room for myself!! But with 2 persons I would be more than enough space. Bathroom is great, warm shower. The food ( 3 times a day ) is amazing. Didn’t had something the same to eat 1 day. 4-5 different salads, rice , pasta meat. Also for vegetarians enough to choose. Diving equipment was brand new. I had a BCD with the cards still attached to it. First one using it! All other equipment also in supreme condition. Dive instructors we’re skilled and relaxed.
Me and 2 others were diving with José. Thanks again José for the relaxed vibe you had while diving. You looked after us but also let us do our own thing. Perfect! Next lifeaboard will be the blue force one in the Maldives! Thanks David, Carlos, José and offcourse the rest of the crew!!! Foppe Jan” Recommended for: The boat, the food and the relaxed & skilled crew.
