The Blue is currently one of the best ships in the Red Sea. Optimally designed, spacious cabins and wet rooms (large shower and always enough hot water). The common areas (dining room, upper deck and sun deck) offer a lot of space to enjoy a pleasant time with free space between and after the dives. Only on the dive deck would be a little more space for personal small things that you want to deposit before or after the dives nice. But otherwise there is nothing technically wrong with the ship. The ENOS was/is defective, therefore the deduction in safety. I think the fleet is big enough that you could at least invest in a backup system for the fleet.
The entire crew, from the captain to the sailors, cooks, service guys to the dive guides a very great bunch. There would be one dive guide on trial, but I suspect that was his first and last week. The other two and especially the one I dived with are very experienced, calm and very accommodating.
The food got a deduction because I find that the very western old fashioned style of cooking does not suit my personal taste. But I'm sure there are still many fans of lots of meat, thick sauces and fries. I would like it to be a little lighter, less meat and a touch more Egyptian. But that's a matter of taste and only reflects my personal preferences.
There were deductions at the dive spots and the organizers and tour guides can't influence that either, because the military doesn't allow overnight stays at the Brother's anymore. This means that we were only at the Brother's for one day, which for a Brothers-Daedalus-Elphinstone tour is a little bit less.
But we had great hammerhead shark dives at Daedalus and when diving out at Ras Trombi 15 min 2 dolphins.
All in all a great week, with a super crew, nice guests and many great dives. This should have been my 14th Dive Safari in the Red Sea and I can only recommend the ship. And the next tour I will probably do again with the Blue.
