Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Unforgettable PADI and Red Sea Bliss on the Iceberg. It was an absolute delight to complete our PADI certification on the Iceberg, where we were warmly welcomed with great kindness and simplicity. This human-sized boat is a gem. Contact with Elisabeth, the manager, was smooth from start to finish; she carefully considered our wishes and needs. Her team is serious about diving safety, rigorous, and welcoming. Life on board is a culinary delight: fresh, varied, rich, and diverse; there's something for everyone, and nothing is ever lacking between dives! We progressed with complete confidence, thanks to excellent equipment and a team that was attentive to our needs, discreet, and complementary. We had the pleasure of sleeping in a spacious, carefully decorated, and comfortable cabin with true comfort and a private bathroom. Little thoughtful touches awaited us upon arrival, and we will cherish those memories. It was a joy to organize a surprise for my partner's 40th birthday there. I highly recommend Elisabeth and Karim for discovering the Red Sea on a human-sized boat. It was a joy to simply relax and enjoy being on the Iceberg.”
