It's a shame that when you've been to Golden Dolphin so often as a group, you're still treated like a beginner. It should be clear by now if you have your own diving instructor and the group is known that this is also communicated to the guides from the office. It was a bit of a shame and also caused a bit of unrest. But over time it also became clear to the guides ...

It really was a super great week on the Golden Dolphin 2. Top crew and dive guides, delicious food. Cabins (lower deck) were OK but nothing more. I can really recommend Golden Dolphins 2.

It was a great trip on a great boat.
Only the air conditioning (in several cabins) was not exactly up to date (there was only on or off, but no level control ... Sometimes it even stopped working).
Otherwise there was nothing to complain about at all!

General information:
Dive guide Omar:
Very unfriendly (not only to us) especially to women! He was not motivated and hardly allowed any questions at the briefing!
Plan A and B were discussed at the briefing, then everything was different under water and he followed a different plan.
Example: During a dive the whole group decided not to dive into the wreck - under water he then dived back into the wreck...
There was no 15-liter tank on board if you wanted to change from 12 to 15 liters during the liveaboard.
There was no spare regulator on board.
The request for a tank at 5m for the deco stop at a deeper dive was not met. Answer: this was not necessary and not usual...
M.'s room was dripping from the ceiling. A room swap was only possible after negotiations.

Positives:
The food was very good!
The other crew members were all very friendly and very helpful!
The TG were very nice and varied.

The ship is getting on in years; there was a lot of gasoline smell in the cabin when we embarked.

Nitrox real not available, no membrane system,
O/2 in the intake from the compressor was also more of an experiment than a reliable result with fluctuations from NX32 to NX45 /NX fillings were then also prohibited by responsible guide

The staff on board was very accommodating, always friendly and professional.
You felt very safe and well prepared on every dive.
All in all, highly recommended.

Super diving trip,
unfortunately the Strait of Tiran was closed.
The Rosalie Moeller was not dived, because too many divers without sufficient experience were on board. This is not optimal.

Great ship with dedicated, professional and very friendly crew. Guides, briefings and diving top.
Small downer was that the reefs in the Strait of Tiran were not called because of the climate conference. There was no clear communication whether this was forbidden by the authorities or whether the captain did not want this because of the many military. In my opinion, this could be done better.
Furthermore, a visit to the Rosalie Moeller would have been possible in terms of weather and time, but was rejected with reference to the partly not sufficiently experienced divers. There I would wish higher requirements for travel participants or a differentiation in the offer, so that such an attractive wreck can be approached.

The ship is equipped according to the age, but still very well maintained. The only annoying thing is the loud engine noise during night cruises. The crew is super friendly and extraordinarily concerned about their guests.

I think we can be very satisfied. Reception fine, very pleasant cooperation with the guides. Background/history of dive sites/wrecks and sometimes also digital.
The kitchen was very good, the boat very functional. Very helpful crew and thus a very nice and relaxing vacation.

The safari was again very nice, with great dive sites and great diving experiences. I have one suggestion. Maybe it would be better to go to the next dive site the day before. We were often thrown out of bed at 3am when the ship's engine started. Wake up was then at 5:30, as usual.
It would be an advantage to be at the dive site already at night, so that we could really sleep until wake-up time in the morning. Otherwise everything was great. Thanks again to the whole crew and to you, for the professional organization. However, the makadi palace is no longer recommended. Next time I will take another hotel. But the palace was my wish, because I knew it from a previous trip. They have deteriorated badly. The staff is partly unfriendly and only looking for tips. The facility is very nice, but very outdated and in need of repair.

In any case, I am already looking forward to the next trip and appreciate their service very much. Wish you continued good business and see you hopefully soon.

Best regards
Sabina Speer

Transfer airport boat, long waiting time at the airport

Golden Dolphin 2 booked surprise on site it was then the Golden Dolphin 4!
Great boat everything 1 a gladly again any time :o)

(Automatically translated from German)

Compared to the boat we had originally booked (Grand Sea Serpent), the Golden Dolphin II was past glory and for practically the same price. The price-quality ratio therefore left something to be desired. Especially the hull of the boat was badly damaged, which compromised safety.

All in all a great trip with great dive guides, dive buddies, great dive sightings and great food.

The boat is well divided, with saloon and dive deck and upper deck are good.
Cabins are offer enough space.
Minus point is the extremely loud creaking of the wood, which I had so far on no safari boat.
Food was absolutely top!
Very helpful crew and extremely good service, it does not get better!
