Unorganized crew
Salem Express wreck dive and dives where we saw sharks were very good. The guides and the crew were unorganized and many times the dive briefings were not punctual. The camera wash bay was taken away and only after complaining two days in a row it was brought back. The compressed air smelled bad for two days.

It was amazing jornney!
It was our (me and my wife) very first diving safari. We saw langimanus, hammerhead, napoleon-fish, silky shark, Spanish dancer, manta ray and dolphins from the yacht. The guides Peter and Darya were always as underwater as onboard helpful and very empathic. The food was diverse and delicious, 10 out of 10. We will plan our next safari in Red See only with Discovery. Thanks the team for amazing experience and adventure!!!

Fantastic time onboard discovery
The crew onboard discovery really couldn't do enough for me and m daughter on the trip. Nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend for anyone thinking of a week's livaboard to give discovery a go. We will definitely be back.
