Awesome dive safari with an awesome team
I had a great time. The boat is not too big and not too crowded. The whole team was very professional. We went to great dive sites and had numerous encounters with sharks. The Brothers, Daedalus, Elphinestone tour is long and worth it. I am not sure if others actually sail these distances. There are people who did the 4th and 5th tour with Tala already, that says everything. I am coming back as well.

Great guides who know the place and who compose according to the diving conditions. Always attentive and full of wise and benevolent advice. The "family" atmosphere, chill. No pressure. The food and special mention for the morning falafel!.

My overall favourite trip in the Red Sea !
It was again a memorable and fantastic trip! I love the wrecks . I love to scooter . In fortunately I had a broken scooter after 10 min but the guide took me on tandem so that we did not have to end the dive . It was a nice group and the atmosphere was great .

The scooterdives. The good briefings and assistance by the crew to get in and out of the water/ zodiac. The food.

Crew top, Guides top, Route top
We had a great week at Tala! There was vegetarian food, the cabins were cleaned daily, the chillout area is very cozy.Everyone is super helpful and service-oriented, the crew even helps you into the suit and puts your fins on. After each dive you got a juice for refreshment directly on the dive deck.The guides did a great job, they tried very hard to find the highlights of the route (hammerhead, thresher shark, longimanus, etc.). In addition, you could see her passion for diving, dives always lasted a full 60 minutes or more.

The dives. The guides. The helpfulness of the entire team on board.

A trip worth trying
I like this liveaboard. The guide will arrange the corresponding diving plan according to the different diving needs of the customer, which I like very much. The only shortcoming is that there are many flies on the boat. Of course, the whole of Egypt is the same.
Recommended for
Diving arrangements. Drinks. The scenery of the sea.
