Phenomenal
Highlights included diving with dolphins, experiencing some of the most beautiful coral reefs, and the impeccable service from the crew on board Amelie. The dive guides were second to none, and all staff ensured the guests were comfortable at all times. I can’t fault the trip and would highly recommend to all levels of divers.

Loved every second of it
I can highly recommend this trip. The crew was very sweet, the food surprised me since it was o super yummy (they also take care of vegetarians and prepare everything fresh - one night they even catched fresh fish we ate the next day) and they even prepared fresh fruit juices for us after the dives. The dive spots where marvellous - we met dolphins, turtles, octopus, barracuda schools, etc. This is amazing value for money (note that a 50€ marina fee comes on top of the price). They also offer free nitrox (the percentage was not very high though, but that really didn't matter much to me). I also liked that they tried to cater for guest's wishes and split groups into experience levels and let comfortable divers go on their own in buddy teams. I would totally come back and will not forget those 3 days which seemed so much longer since we experienced so much. Thanks for everything, guys!

Great experience and great value for your money!
We did 8 days on the Amelie and had a great time! Beautiful dive sites where we saw octopus, calamari, a lobster, eagle rays, electric ray, napoleon fish, spanish dancer, nudibranches and a large school of dolphins! The trip is budget friendly and you do have to share 2 toilets/badrooms, which can result in waiting for your turn. The food was great and plenty and all kinds of drinks were available the whole day. We even had decent wifi for the most days. The staff was friendly and were keeping the boat spotless. No famous dive sites like the Thistlegorm or deadalus and not a lot of wreks on our route, but a lot of beautiful corals and sites that were not crowded. Overall can definetely recommend!

Amazing trip with Amelie Safari
The trip was amazing! It was very well organized - the pickup from the hotel, the diving, the boat life,.... The crew and our dive guide Hashim did an incredible job. They selected the dive sites according to our wishes and in a way that we were alone underwater most of the time. I cannot recommend this trip more!

Brilliant!
I spent 4 brilliant days on the Amelia, the crew, from captain to chef were brilliant throughout. The food was really good and plentiful. The boat crew were always happy, laughing and happy to joke!! Our dive guides knowledge of the area made for an enjoyable trip with plenty to be seen. The wrecks were my highlight! One small point was the first night on the boat could have been on land as it was mid morning the second day before we left the harbour.

Excellent value
Though if I had known I was going to be sitting tied up on the docks for the first 18 hours, I would of prefered to have not slept on the boat that night and just done a gear check the night before and joined up the following morning. Everything else was very good. The crew was excellent. Would suggest more comfortable areas to sit on above deck in between dives. The dives spots were good although after diving here I think I would of prefered diving much more south egypt than in this area if I was to do it again but that has nothing to do with the boat or crew. This is the best Value trip you can book for the money.
