Comments We were upgraded to the Elite (that is a boat!). It has excellent facilities and staff who were helpful and ever vigilant but not 'in your face'. The dives were well planned and one had to be cancelled due to rare bad weather (in the Red Sea!!!!!!). Cabins, food and service both wet and dry side were impecable, especialy Achmed the dive guide - thanks Achmed. We did the 'Deep South' trip and the diving was good, but I have done 'Simply the Best' previously and I think that took first place. Saw Grey reef and Hammerhead sharks. The night dives were excellent. Lion Fish follow the lights from diver's torches in shoals - amazing. Would certainly go with an Emperor tour again. Nothing much that I would have liked to know before I set off. The pre-trip communication was excellent.
