Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Fantastic Crew and Well Thought out. The dive locations were incredible with the incredible wall, swim through and deep blue diving. The team planned the route and schedules around other touring companies to ensure minimal divers were in the water at one time. The staff were excellent and impressionable. You will always be welcomed by a new towel folded animal after every dive! Lastly, on the last day you come into the harbour and spend the night within the harbour before you depart. This was really helpful as it provided a good opportunity to bond with you, your boat and neighbouring boats the last night. Highly recommend My Blue for your next Egyptian dive safari.”
