The ship is very clean, the kitchen is really excellent. The cabins are also very clean, bed linen and towels are also changed in between. All cabins are above the waterline (main deck and sun deck only). An emergency hammer is installed at every window on the main deck.
Diving is well organized. ENOS is issued to all divers. O2 equipment for emergencies is available and accessible at all times, an on-board pharmacy with various medicines, plasters etc. is also available. One of the two Zodiacs is equipped with a ladder. Life jackets, fire extinguishers and smoke detectors are available in every cabin. The guides (Renate and Mohamed with us) were always available and always had an open ear. Renate as "chief guide" had everything under control at all times. Captain Hamada is excellent and plans the route really well and skillfully avoids large groups of boats where possible. The crew is helpful and super nice. A highly recommended safari boat. (Note: if the guide is Ilona, be careful, she is quite inexperienced, difficult to deal with (likes to blaspheme and has attracted negative attention from some guests with inappropriate comments) and is always "very important" because she is friends with the boss. The lady is also not well regarded by the crew... )

some dive sites were not visited because there were too many boats due to the high season, there was a lot of emphasis on places where we were alone

Sometimes up to 16 safari boats at one spot. Too bad, but probably not to change.

A successful safari on the whole.
The appointed Tauchgudi Renate was really super and has saved us the safari. Her male gepart a Freelencer from Egypt screwed up some dives and him the guests were unfortunately not so important, the guests should be motivated by the Gudie and not vice versa.

What a great boat. Not only outside, but also inside "hui"! For a long time we eleven have been looking forward to this part of our Egypt trip and together with another eleven guests, so a total of 22 pax on board, experienced the most extensive safety briefings, dive briefings in a long time. The cabins are bright, all above the waterline and with excellent beds. As far as I know, no guest has reported any deficiencies or asked for improvements in their cabin. The food was extensive and varied and I have not seen this quality on any safari ship in the Red Sea. Finally a chef who knows that the chicken does not have to be a "crash chicken" to cut it. Anyone who has been to Egypt knows what I mean.
Our bar for great, safety conscious and relaxed diving has been easily passed by Bluewater Safaris with this boat and crew and we will be happy to come back.

The crew is great!

The cabinets in the cabins could offer a little more storage space.
Very positive that all cabins are very well ventilated by the location on the main and upper deck.
Very spacious bathroom.
Perfect organization also in all non-diving matters by guide (Renate), excellent briefings and dive planning, very friendly and helpful crew, ENOS and EH case on the most modern safety level.

With the dining room in the "basement" and all the cabins on the deck, we enjoy a window on the sea and it is very pleasant.
A beautiful boat with a nice and attentive crew.
Our guide, Mohamed, must have a GPS in his head, we made some sick dives.
To advise strongly
