Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Brilliant diving adventure--checked off all the boxes of wants and needs. Nice combination of reef systems and wrecks. Location enabled one to see it all, helping us to check off all the boxes one comes to expect from a perfect adventure. The "Northern Wrecks and Reefs" of the Red Sea offered up some of the most beautiful reef systems and of course, the great wrecks of the Northern Red Sea, including the Cristola, Dunraven and Thistlegorm. Creatures small and large came into our purview: dolphins, octopuses, nudibranches, schools of fishes. Lucky us on this particular week!”
