Rough start to a great trip!
Great crew and boat. Especially appreciated the emphasis on safety since our trip had a delay embarking due to the accident in the Red Sea in late November (Sea Story by ProDive) that resulted in some casualties. The divers experienced frustration at the unknown length of time for the port closure resulting in some discussion between divers and dive guides about back up plans as the closure became prolonged. The boat company did the right thing by accommodating some shore dives and gave the customers a break on nitrox costs. With the port (and Red Sea) closed for two days all the boats ended up leaving at the same time. It was great that the Royal Evolution sought out a revised itinerary and sites that were not crowded. We had some dive sites to ourselves and others were shared with just one other boat. The food (variety and quality) was amazing. Overall, this is a great boat and staff. Would readily dive with the Royal Evolution again.

The crew were top notch.
Dates Nov 18th -25th 2021 We had a great time. Didn't see as much aquatic life as we hoped, but the boat and crew were very hard working. They made a huge amount of effort to make sure we had a good time.
