Master Liveaboards

Overall a nice trip, but I cannot say that diving was superb. Almost no large pelagic, and the visibility wasn't good at times due to bad weather. On the other hand, the diving was easy, the underwater topography in Russell Islands was stunning, the corals were very healthy, and there were many interesting macro opportunities. The boat was spacious and well designed, with large cabins, large common areas and large dive deck. The food was good, but pretty standard, with only a few variations over the course of 10 days. The crew was very attentive, with increased focus on safety and making guests comfortable. The dive guides were always there when they were needed, but they did not make much effort in trying to find small, hard to see critters and pointing them out to divers.

Would definitely chose to travel with Blue Melody and it’s crew again. The chef was great with allergies and food preferences, the dive guides (particularly Mousa) were passionate about their jobs and keeping us safe.

This was my second liveaboard with Blue Melody and fourth with Blue o Two. What sets apart this fleet is the outstanding service offered to its customers over the years. The staff and crew were very helpful and friendly and the chef Amr prepared delicious food. The boat has rooms in the lower deck, while the middle deck includes a lounge and the dining room. On the upper and sun deck there is plenty of space to relax between the dives. We had two excellent dive guides Haittam and Ahmed. The route best of wrecks covered all the important Red Sea wrecks: SS Thistlegorm, Ghiannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K, Aida, Numidia, Salem Express, Dunraven, Kingston and the Barge. The captain Yousif planned the trip very well to also allow all the divers to get good rest at night, while still travelling from one location to the next. Besides the trip itself, the staff at Divebooker has been very helpful and supportive throughout the booking phase and during the trip, and I must mention Teresa, Irene and Karina on who you can always count to plan your liveaboard.
