Thank you for the report.
JP Marine is still on my shortlist.
I read some reviews which were not so great- an "authritarian" guide was mentioned, but it seems like you had a great time.
How were the other guests? Very international?
The two guides that were on my trip (Peter and Ellia)were firm while giving out briefings butotherwise
pretty chilled out. Authoritarian is hardly the word I would use.
They did lay down certain rules in a firm tone...like no diving once you have a drink...deco limits,no diving after missing briefings and such.
All very necessary I thought. But otherwise pretty relaxed and let everyone do as they wanted.
Iteastotally upto you if you wanted to follow the guide or go off with your buddy
Great guys and great dive guides overall.
There are three other guides who work on the boat on rotation.maybe one of them was that I don’t know
We had 28 guests from 13 countries : Russia, Malta, England, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Poland, France ,Belgium, Netherlands, Mexico, Sri Lanka and India (me).
The crew of 11 was all Egyptian
