Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Excellent Dive Trip … a lovely group of people. We were so pleased to go back to the Northern dive sights … we were divers there in 1989! So lots of changes . The weather was windy and challenging at times but the crew were excellent and the itinerary changed to where it was safe to dive Very lucky to see White tip sharks , dolphins and the highlight a huge Whale Shark at Ras Mohammad ! A real bonus”
Recommended for: The mix of people. A lovely group of 16 not too many. The dive guides. Professional and good safety. Briefings were excellent. The food . Very good.
