Customer Review
”This was sea our first sea safari and we really enjoyed it. We chose a short 3 day excursion to see if we would enjoy it and have the stamina to dive every day. It was yes to both accounts. Seeing Sharks, reef & zebra., eagle mantas plus the visit to SS Thistlegorm.” Recommended for: You didn’t have to do anything other than dive & relax. The guides were excellent and the crew very helpful.
Customer Review ByGraeme L, from: United Kingdom scored the MV Snefro Pearl 10 out of 10; Review courtesy of Liveaboard.com, for more reviews and information click here: MV Snefro Pearl.
”Amazing Trip. Will definitely do it again. The wrecks were just amazing. Beautiful. The dive guides were perfect, they knew when to jump in the water and where to go (along with the captain’s approval). The Thistlegorm is probably the most dived wreck in the world, and there was too many boats at the dive site, but our guides gave us four full dives of the Thistlegorm alone, with no one around, just because they chose the right timings. The Crew were amazing, making sure we were comfortable with everything. The food was great. Our cabins were cleaned during every dive, which is more that what you can ask for. Tea and coffee service were always there. Nothing was missing. And finally our group was great and had great diving experience, which made our dives great and basically we could dive any site we are at. I know this is not something anyone can ensure, but we were lucky.” Recommended for: The cabins are great, the dive trips and the knowledgeable guides.
