Diving in the pristine reefs of Saudi Arabia
It was a great week of diving. The boat was recently renovated. The crew was super friendly and attentive. Most of the reefs were pristine, and we saw some sharks and pelagics. A special mention to Leena , the transfer representative who did everything to retrieve my delayed luggage and send it to the boat before departure. It was really nice.

Good safari on simple boat
The dives were really awesome except for the first day and the last day. The guides now know the diving area very well, one has been in Saudi Arabia for three years. There were tiger, silk and hammerhead sharks to see and beautiful reefs similar to those in Egypt.

Great two weeks
The second week was also an absolute pleasure for us. Diving at great spots, absolutely fantastic food and the helpfulness and friendliness of the crew made the week an event that will be remembered The Almonda itself is already getting on in years and this is also visible in some places. In this context, however, a stay in the dock is still on the agenda in 2025... We will then be able to compare it on our next tour. 😉

great liveaboard in unchartered areas in saudi redsea
Almonda was a great liveboard experience in saudi red sea. I did 19 dives, 2 were exceptional, 8 were very good, 5 okay and 4 quite bad as we stayed in the blue and literrally saw nothing airport transfers excellent, cabin crew excellent, dive crew excellent, food excellent. i liked that we were some of the first divers to do these dives. high risk high reward a few things to improve: - i think i was the only one with a bad cabin experience where water was dripping from the ceiling on the bed and the cabin smelled exhaust gas for the entire trip - it would be great to get better wifi. today satellite wifi is availble for cheap - our guide was great technically, as a leader but first time diving on these sites so it would be good if ocean breeze take the dive guides to sites before they lead group

- best food ever on a liveboard. cabin crew and dive crew. some of the dives were memorable with unplanned encounter of a tiger and a whale shark.

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
