We did the northern tour at the end of October and had a lot of fun! It was our first for 7 days, we had already done a small one for 4 days before.
Great crew, great dive sites, especially the wrecks and RM/Tiran.
Excellent food from the chef!
We were also able to snorkel with 6 dolphins in the zodiac without other tourists (they didn't show up when we were diving).

The guides were good and did their job by the book, sometimes we would have liked more of a feel-good factor. One suggestion for improvement would be a short round of introductions of all guests and guides, group photo at the end etc. The briefing and the briefing times were sometimes a bit chaotic.

The cabin (double bed) was small, but the bed was big enough for 2 people and there was enough storage space in the wardrobe.

We were asked to tip at least €100 per person, although the info flyer stated €10/day as a guideline. We gave what we thought was appropriate and there was no further comment.

Overall a successful safari, we would come again :)

It was not ok that there was a discussion about the amount of the tip.
If it is true that the guides have to live off the tips then something is wrong.
It was very unpleasant and left a bad impression on the person responsible for paying the guides...

- Cockroaches on board (a lot from my bra, which I had taken out of the cupboard) and in the cupboard where cookies were kept
- The new dive guide is very fast in the water, not a relaxed dive. He should also turn around and see if his group is following him and if everything fits. He also can't show you anything "worth seeing". His colleague (Mosa) was much better!
- Some of the dive sites could have been avoided as they were boring and shallow water
- the biggest impertinence was at the end when our tip was criticized and they expected more. That's when the mood really changed. It would be nice if the staff received the money they needed via their wages and the tip was really a gratuity and not expected as "earnings"!

The cuisine is excellent!
The guides should pay a little more attention to the guests and not just pull off their "boot".
The cleanliness of the ship is very positive.

The cabins are very small, little space to store things.
For a week it's just so.
Wreck diving spots great, reefs unfortunately little life to see !

The cabins are with bunk beds and quite narrow. You can't sit in bed.
The crew on the other hand is very dedicated and sees itself as a family. Great briefings from the cruise director Chriss. The Egyptian guide does duty by the book. The cooks make really good food.

Already an older small ship but super clean with a very good cook. The dive guides were very concerned about safety and made a super briefing. Many thanks to the whole crew

Safari ship was the Thunderbird
Unfortunately, only a few wrecks could be dived due to the waves, was a pity, but here no one can what for it!
