The crew and guides were very attentive and helpful. A detailed safety briefing for the boat was very good. The food was exceptionally good. We felt very comfortable and the time went by way too fast. We can recommend the ship without reservation.

The tour on the Independence 2 to St.Johns was absolutely top! One of the best, friendliest and most attentive crews I have ever had on a safari ship, especially a great captain who is always there for his guests and the crew. I can highly recommend the Indie 2.

Simply everything just top, my best safari so far! So far I was always flexible on which ship I go, but from now on I will certainly look that I can if possible on the "Indi 2". The bathrooms are pure luxury compared to other ships!

A ship under German leadership, was visited exclusively by German repeaters, who were a pretty sworn group and did not care about us, sometimes quite pushy. The safari leader was little interested in integrating us a little. Too bad, we will avoid this ship in the future.

Super nice Brothers, Daedalus, Elphinstone tour. Friendly crew, nice ship, good diving team and much more big fish than expected before (whale shark, longimani, dolphins, hammerhead sharks, manta rays) I will always keep in great memory (trip Sep 2022).

We were rebooked on the Independence 3.
Cabins were bright and nicely decorated.
BUT: Air conditioning was not adjustable (neither strength nor temperature). Always on the highest level. This was the same in the other cabins.
Upper deck hardly usable. Too little sun protection and only 6 loungers for max. 24 safari participants. One table in the middle for max 9 people. At dinner, half of the participants sat on couches. The upper deck needs to be optimized as soon as possible. In my opinion, the Indy 3 is not ready yet. Therefore, I would not recommend the Indy 3. There are better ships in this price range.

We had a very nice tour with sensational guides, a super crew and an excellent ship. We would book the same arrangement again anytime.

Safety only 3 stars, because for the oxygen system only a single breathing mask was applicable and oxygen also could not be obtained directly from a large bottle.
Somewhat disturbing: obviously it was not desired that one dived independently as a group of two (experienced divers with local knowledge); good: ENOS; food completely okay, but also not earth-shattering; Diveguides could have been a little more skillful in planning at Daedalus. But: very good guidance.

Tour Red Sea BDE and wrecks still worthwhile, islands largely completely occupied with coral, big fish anyway.
The boat is very well maintained, food very good but could be better (e.g. fresh fish from the piece). ENOS and dive supervision on board.

The rating of the dive spots refers to the Brother Islands - the house reef in Quseir, which I dived after the accident of the Independence, does not deserve this rating.

Unfortunately, our journey with the IndyII could not be completed as planned. But just in such a, actually very annoying situation, it shows how well a team works: Our crew and the Tauchgiudes did not take any risks but took care of us in an exemplary way and did everything to make sure that we all came ashore safe and sound.
Until our departure, our two guides were tirelessly there for us and took care of us around the clock.
For this I thank you very much and look forward to my next safari with the Indy 2 with your great crew!
