It was a great week on the Sea Serpent Contessa. We had great dives and were able to see some of the fish that the Red Sea is known for.

The feedback from the participants was very positive!
The two access ladders with the solid treads of the steps were praiseworthy!
However, there was often water on the floor in the wet cabins.
Some participants missed a second toilet on the wet deck.
The itinerary could also be shortened for environmental and rest reasons as well as due to the weather.

The toilet in our cabin was broken from the 5th day and only repaired after the 4th request. When I reported the defect, jokes were made about me in Arabic that made everyone laugh. After a complaint it sounded as if we had broken the toilet.
The dive guides were friendly and showed us the way. But no more.
Some of the dive sites looked like the cemetery of cuddly toys. Dead and broken corals and few fish everywhere. But lots of boats, sometimes 15 of them. It was my first diving cruise and that really surprised me.

The ceiling height in the dining room is too low
and the seating is too cramped.

Unfortunately, despite the air conditioning in the sleeping cabin being switched off, the air conditioning in the sleeping cabin was running. It was due to the central air conditioning system. It couldn't be changed. And so I was ill after 4 days. I was only able to do half the dives.

The cabin we stayed in had two beds, and my bed was 1.40 meters high. On the first night, I had almost no way of getting into the bed.
The next day they put a chair in there and it was easier for me to get into bed.

Beautiful dive sites, very courteous crew and nice and competent dive guides. We really enjoyed the varied food and there were always snacks available. Perfect organization on arrival and departure. An all-round relaxed vacation!

More than one dive in the attractive Ras Mohamed and less repetitions on the second last day would have been good.

1) Staterooms taken care of. One person brought personal toilet paper for medical reasons. This did spontaneously disappear from the closet (while the Egyptian toilet paper remained in the closet).
==========================
2) Food was very good. It was however specified that 1 person did not eat fish and the crew was not aware of this. The other 2 special requests were known
==================================
3) Dive guides: their briefing on the dive sites was very good. There were some struggles though because our group has been diving together for years and we tended to arrange our layout ourselves, while the alpha male among the guides wanted to do it himself. We got out of it without many problems, though. What was annoying was that the two guide was not always on the same page as the first guide.
======================================
4)Concerning safety I have a lower score for 2 reasons; a) what was said in the briefing by the main guide and what was said by the crew on the zodiacs did not go 100% and caused a confusing and dangerous situation: the guide said: "we all fall together at 1-2-3-GO! and the crew shouted "1-2-3" but no GO! People hesitated and did not fall into the water synchronously, fortunately without consequences. Also, the agreements made by the guides and us regarding the division of the team in the zodiacs was not communicated or respected by the zodiac drivers. We were also quite bullied.
b) one time we had to follow the guides but suddenly, almost at the end of the dive our guide (again the second guide) had disappeared without clear communication regarding it.
==================================
the required tip of 100€ was not communicated to us. Most people still had 40€ in their heads and some of them feared cash problems because of this.

We had a super week! Nice dives, good food, helpful crew. North/Wreck tour - as the name says combination of wreck and reef diving. Wrecks: Burge, Thistlegorm, Dunraven, Ghiannis D, Carnatic. Beautiful reef dives with intact, colorful coral gardens. Highlight were the three night dives - there was always something going on!

Super liveaboard,
small note on the side. Not everyone is the English language powerful, a German Briefung alternatively would not have been bad and a hint at booking would have been nice, especially since both dive guides were the German language powerful.
Have asked us afterwards the most important information.
Otherwise super.

Some dive spots were not visited because of too much wind? The dive group with 12 divers and only one dive guide was too big.
No German speaking staff although more than half was German speaking, for a smaller Spanish group was very well a Spanish speaking staff available. We could have done the dive spots from land at any time, we would not have needed a safari. The on-board staff and cuisine were very good. The night dives were all offered without dive guides. Unfortunately, this safari was a disappointment for our group.

On the tour were almost exclusively wreck dives, which has not been apparent in the announcement.
was not quite ok for some participants!
