Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“We recommend Eriny. We were 3 days on Eriny in Sharm el Sheikh area (Ras Mohammad, thistlegorm, dunraven) and had a very good experience. Some challenge with the equipment on the test dive, but it was all sorted. Very good briefings before each dive, very friendly crew, good food, clean boat, good communication on WhatsApp before departure. We felt safe. Our dive guide, Amr, was calm, friendly, safe and steady. Thank you for a good trip!”
