It was a great trip/workshop. It was very well organized and coordinated. Our boat, Snefro Pearl, was good, and the crew was awesome.

Absolutely the best experience during this trip were snorkelling and diving with wild dolphins and diving the Thistlegorm shipwreck. For the complete list of dive sites, please see the list below.

Dive Sites:
Temple, Jackfish Alley, Dunraven, Beacon Rock, Small Crack, Marcus Giannis D, Carnatic,
Thistlegorm, RM Lighthouse, Shark Reef, Ras Ghozlani, Ras Za’tar & Ras Umm Sid.

There was no COVID restrictions.

Dinghies that they are using in Egypt are very high and without ladders. This could be a problem for older and not very fit divers.
