Best of the Best!
Unbelievable week on the BDE trip! The Boat and Guests: The boat surprised us and was probably THE nicest one in the port. It was kept immaculate (cabins cleaned twice a day). The boat itself is only a couple years old and is gorgeous. Plenty of space to chill on your own or mingle if you choose. This operator isn’t on some of the marketing sites that cater to everywhere so the guests were predominantly from Germany. They were all great and we had a great dynamic but if you are looking for a mixed crowd it’s something to note. The Crew: Absolutely outstanding. They work so incredibly hard yet seamlessly. I can’t say enough about how wonderful they all are, how amazing the food they prepare is and what good characters the entire staff has. The dive masters are incredible, such professionals. Karim, Tamir and Nemo were ours and they made our trip amazing. At times I had to trust Karim with my life. The Route: the BDE route is the most advanced route in the Red Sea. Expect max recreational depths on most dives (they are deep wall dives), current and negative entries from the zodiac. This was thrilling and I always had confidence in the guides but be prepared. My husband and I hired a private DM (Karim) at the last minute because I sometimes have equalization issues after not diving for awhile and on some of these dives you must descend quickly with currents. Divebooker and the operator were wonderful accommodating our request for a guide and keeping us safe. We saw so much in November… many hammerheads, oceanic white tips, manta and even a thresher shark. Dolphins raced the boat leaving Daldeaus. What a trip! Definitely don’t hesitate to book My Red Sea Explorer!
