Highly Recommend - From a dive professional

Had a fantastic trip. We were lucky enough to have the owner of the vessel on board and diving with us. His passion for diving and taking care of his guests shines through and spilled over to ensuring that his guests had the best trip. Very safety-focused, but at the same time willing to amend the itinerary, ensuring where possible our Vessel got to dive some of the best and most crowded dive sites all alone, yes we got up a little earlier in the morning but it was worth the sacrifice. The food was outstanding, my partner is a vegetarian and both of us were spoiled for choice. It is clear that the compressor is well serviced, we had clean air and got great blends of Nitrox. Where time permitted we were able to dive until we had 50 Bar, not dependant on a set time? Lead to some great long dives. We had the option to be guided or for those with experience would use the buddy system to self navigate the dive sites if desired. I have been on multiple boats in Egypt and this was a outstanding trip. As a dive instructor myself and a very frequent liveaboard diver (3 per year), I can highly recommend this vessel

Very pleasant trip

We overall had a very good experience with JP Marine. Starting from the airport a driver was waiting for us (although a bit late) and we went to a beach resort to wait for the shuttle to Port Ghalib. We had an extra request to try 2 different sizes of wetsuits and Victoria the fleet manager came twice to give and collect the suits. The boat is well built and compared to other ones (more expensive) well maintained on the outside. The cabine size is ok, a little more space for our personal stuff would be a plus. Also door hooks would be good. The cleaning was not great at first and we asked for an extra in the bathroom and then it was fine. On the outside i would be great to have a lot of hangers as well along the corridor and definitely more clothes pegs and racks. One weird thing as well is that the cabin door doesn't have a lock. So once a crew member didn't hear me and opened the door (after knocking) and the second time a late guest mistakenly opened our door. A key is clearly not needed but a mechanism to close from the inside would be definitely appreciated especially when it happens twice on the first day!!! After a rough first day the rest went well. The highlight of the trip was definitely the food. It was truly excellent, meat, fish, veggies, desert, great variety (maybe we needed more fresh fruits). The chef was perfect! We always had enough (the boat was full with 28 passengers), and not too much waste. The crew is also super nice, always helpful (sometimes a tad too much). The 2 guides were also very nice, respectful of the sea life and excellent divers. No issue security wise. 2 guides for 28 is something I was not aware of while paying but in the end it was fine as the whole group had a lot of experience. For those who dive in Asia it is a big change as we are used to smaller group. Renting gear is ok, not from this diving season i think. I would definitely recommend this boat

Awesome time on the JP Marine

Both JP Marine and Divebooker provided my friends and I with a great service. Divebooker were fast and efficient meeting all our needs and queries throughout the booking phase. Out of all the boats we saw around the south islands of the Red Sea JP Marine was most definitely one of the best. It is kept well and the crew on board are a lot of fun and extremely helpful. The food and cabins were top notch. Expect to be woken up earlier than usual so as to maximize diving time. Diving briefs are professional and our group on board was made up of 13 nationalities which was great. I would recommend this liveaboard.
