Hammerheads, dolphins and nudibranches
Amazing marine life on Al Lith itinerary, highlight being hammerheads, even though water temp was around 28-29, still had sightings in the blue. In general great density of life on healthy reefs, large schools of jacks, barracudas, trevallies, snappers, reefs sharks on almost every dive, large pods of dolphins in lagoonas and surprisingly great macro stuff if you know where to look! The only boat on the area, unlike the other side of red sea, which makes the experience much more enjoyable. Thanks to the amazing crew and the guides Giorgio and Teseo.

An unforgettable experience in the Red Sea
All the details of the meeting and pick-up points up to the hotel or airport, all the very nice passengers, nice dives, the climate of the area, we only came across one boat in the sea, so this creates relaxing dives. The boat is very spacious, large living room to relax and for the breefing, always very detailed, safe diving. absolutely to be recommended. We will be back

A Very Special Experience
We had a great time aboard the Almonda. From the airport pickup to the drop-off, we felt we were in good hands. As there were few of us on the boat, we all had private cabins, an unexpected treat. We arrived late and the next day was an early one, so most of us were tired but glad to get into the tropical waters. The early morning dives were wonderful, a great way to start the day and the best possibility of seeing big fish. The dive director was well experienced from around the world so a source of excellence and knowledge. The food was good, not the best I've had but satisfying. The crew bent over backwards to consider special requests. We did not see any other boats or divers the entire trip, which made it very unique.

Great alternative in the Red Sea to the usual Egyptian places. Very quiet and relaxing being the only boat for a week.
Very nice being the only boat from Saudi in the Red Sea so you just see no-one else for a week. The diving was great, reefs generally in pretty good condition (albeit with a LOT of fishing wires) and we saw hammerheads and grey reef sharks (amongst the usual Red Sea wildlife).

Amazing Trip
Stayed on here for the 10 nights trip. We did 27 dives, 2 of which were night. We had a lovely time. The crew were all really helpful and made everything easy and comfortable. The chef was great and the food was very good, and Amr was attentive without being overbearing. The dive guides, Jessica, Tore and Lee were fantastic and patient, friendly, and down-to-earth people who clearly loved what they do. We were very lucky with the dive conditions and saw a large school of hammerheads and silky sharks, which was amazing. A few dive sites were completely dead though, so highly recommend removing them from the itinerary. Safety was unquestionable, and the organization was smooth. The team was kind enough to wait for me at the airport when I got stuck for an hour before I could get out, which I really appreciated. We didn't need to go all the way to Al Lith port as they managed to dock the boat in Jeddah - not sure if this is always the case. The rooms were fine, though the mattress was a bit too hard for my back. I was in pain the first couple of days until I added a cover under me, which helped a bit. Common areas were comfortable and versatile, whether we wanted to sunbathe, read, or watch a movie. The vibe on board was friendly, fun, and relaxed. There were plenty of snacks, maybe even too many and we had to control ourselves to stop grabbing them. The medical kits were well stocked, which was reassuring, and the captain was professional and gave us a very smooth trip.
