We were transferred to the Golden Dolphin 4, currently the largest boat in the Red Sea. Severely understaffed with 10 divers but still got the full service.

We were very satisfied with the private dive guide and wanted to give him a generous tip of 100 euros (equivalent to 25%). According to his reaction, he had expected a lot more. Were we really that far off the mark?

Dolphin 3 was swapped for luxury Dolphins 4, was a very pleasant surprise

We had probably the best crew on safari so far. Super nice and helpful, charming, funny. The ship is no longer the very latest, but very well maintained, large and functional. The food was top, unfortunately fish/meat is always cooked to death - but apart from that great, 90% Egyptian/Oriental food and probably the best falafel ever. Absolutely recommended - especially if Mandu and Safwat are there as guides. Diving-wise we did the Brother Islands-Tour with Daedalus and Elphinstone. Super Spots, but just accordingly strongly frequented. But that's just the way it is, you have to put up with it.

Beautiful ship with dedicated, friendly crew. Excellent cuisine. Dive guides, briefings and diving very good. My fourth safari on Golden Dolphin III and sixth with Golden Dolphin, which speaks for itself.
Unfortunately, the reefs in the Strait of Tiran were surprisingly not approached due to a political event - so "North and Tiran" without Tiran, therefore deduction in the dive spots. .

Except for problems with the air conditioning (has gone out in between and can not be regulated) and the setting of the water temperature in the shower, the cabin was tip top! The agency is aware of the problems with the air conditioning and is working to fix them.

The food was very good and I was pleased to be able to eat Egyptian specialties. As a mango lover, I got my money's worth, there was almost every day fresh mango for snack (probably seasonal :-)). Every morning we also had freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast.

The dive guides always made detailed briefings with plan A and plan B (depending on the current) and they successfully avoided diving with other groups from other boats at the same time. Very rarely did we have other divers UW, which is rare for the hotspots we dove.

The crew (which is not mentioned here) is very friendly and helpful. They offered us Bedouin coffee and shisha and also organized a dinner above Dahab on a small lonely beach.
Also the captain does everything to offer the guests a great liveaboard. This was connected with long night trips during our tour to the deep south and the high north in 14 days. Personally this did not bother me as I am "seaworthy", but other divers could not sleep so well.

The cabins are good and clean. For me personally, the rain shower is not ideal, as it has limited water pressure and therefore the shampoo is gone only by long rinsing from my "thick" hair.

For safety, I have already suggested in the evaluation of the boat that with the ladders (boat and Zodiac) the handles should be wrapped with an anti-slip material to prevent slipping because of wet hands, especially in strong waves. Otherwise, everything was available what you want.

Overall, I can highly recommend the boat.

Air conditioning did not work in some cases. However, the crew tried very hard to fix the error in each case.

I booked GD III > on site upgrade GD IV, which was also evaluated in this case.
Travel for many years with GD. Know therefore also all ships of the fleet. The GD IV certainly belongs to the extra class! You do not have to shower in the toilet :-)
Service as usual - excellent.

Very well coordinated, helpful and familiar team. We felt very comfortable.

(Automatically translated from German)

From the originally booked south tour on the GD III was made by the organizer a north tour. Were by upgrading other GD guests final then 16 divers on board, including a 8-person strong dive club from Upper Austria. Altogether all experienced and relaxed people. That together with a very professionally organized diving operation on board and in the water altogether a very great experience. The two guides Omar and Eslam were great, the ship is ideal for people who focus on diving, the food is a poem and the service of all crew members whether diving or eating always helpful, super friendly and competent. I will be back, but then south

Cabin 6: WC flushing went smoothly but until a flush could be made again this takes about 2 hours because the water ran extremely slowly into the cistern this was reported but not fixed until my departure. Air conditioning system in the cabin makes extreme noise. Both guides super. Team Super. Ship clean. Room doors often open by themselves.
Too bad that the GD3 is not stioniert in the official port. Diesel engines were running all the time. At the dock where the GD3 docked, there was apparently no electricity for the GD3, therefore a lot of exhaust fumes around the ship, quite troublesome to let off.

I was very impressed that we got the wish Guide Talaat although he no longer works at GD. We had this wish and they have fulfilled us.
The Zodiacks should be replaced in which the 20th century justice.

A great 14 day liveaboard to many famous dive sites in the Red Sea.
Good food, an especially nice and helpful crew, a diving captain and much more ...

The booking was on the Golden Dolphin II, we got an upgrade to the Golden Dolphin IV and that terrific. The ship, the crew, the guides, the food were top, unfortunately the weather was not. Thereby it came to route changes. But all dive sites were worth to be dived. And our group will definitely do this originally planned route again, gladly again with the Golden Dolphin IV and the crew/guides! Thanks to all!!!

An amazing week on the ship Golden Dolphin 3. Every diving lover gets his money's worth here! Super dive guides, great organization and unforgettable dives.
The ship is a bit outdated. But the crew and their commitment make up for it and the food on board is excellent.
We will come again!

The safari was basically as expected great. The crew had unfortunately not quite the motivation, the kitchen and the captain excluded.


(Automatically translated from German)

Since the ship was not in dry dock in 2021 due to Corona, you could find some places in need of repair. But the crew made up for that with friendliness and helpfulness.

(Automatically translated from German)

The boat is a bit outdated, but definitely preferable to the new giant boats with their high number of divers. The crew is in a good mood, very helpful and also happy to respond to special requests. The guides were also very good, so an all-round successful holiday.

For safety I only gave 4* because I think the tile floor in the shower is dangerous. It is very slippery. A non-slip mat would be helpful.

(Automatically translated from German)

The boat has suffered from Corona, accordingly was the condition of the Zodiacs, outboard, generator, etc..
In addition, however, the note from the organizer that the appointment is planned in dry dock.

The bathroom in cabin 3 is in need of renovation

The crew was very helpful

Had a very nice liveaboard. The service has left nothing to be desired. Super nice and helpful team, great guides, the food was great and everything clean. The only minus point is the cabin size and storage space. I will definitely do a tour with this boat again. Compliments!

(Automatically translated from German)

Again and again. Great crew, good atmosphere, everything worked out, great dive sites, leaves little to be desired.

(Automatically translated from German)

Transfer has worked well.
Crew and guides always friendly
and helpful. Food good.
Cabin too small. No storage space.
Ship needs refurbishment.
Dive sites great.
