Comments	[NMedium difficulty in reaching Hurghada ,Egypt from east coast of US. Boat was the Blue Force 3 a beautiful and excellent dive boat. Crew was very attentive and dive masters watched carefully during dives due to mild to moderate currents.Staterooms were large with ample storage and hot water,beds were excellent we had a queen bed. Fish numerous during current dives, some dives sites such as Little Brother were World Class. Saw Mantas and several Hammerheads there. One large Whaleshark at Big Brother, yellowfin tunas also. 3 dives daily plus night dives . Biggest problem with Red Sea is large number of liveaboards, many dive sites were shared with other boats. Meals were plentiful and very good to excellent.Boat anchored in calm bays at night you could not tell you were sleeping on a boat. I had done the Northern Red Sea in 1992 and could tell there is a decrease in overall number of fish. Boat is new (2016) and everything worked correctly. No Oceanic Whitetips on this trip, out of season.Would love to do this trip again.

UW Photo Comments	Large camera table but if all 22divers bring large rigs space will be at a premium. Inverter equipped charging cubicles. Rinse hoses and tanks plentiful. Large screen tv you could see your photos there at night.Crew handled cameras back and fort from Zodiacs very well . An ideal boat for UWP.
