TERRIBLE AND SCARY!!
We are two former dive pros that have been diving in the Southern Red Sea with JP Marine in September 2018.
On the positive side: the boat is nice and the food is good.
On the negative side is a huge violation of many safety standards. Multiple dives between 30 and 40 m per day, people without deep dive training going to 40-50 m, people without any tec training whatsoever going to 58 (!) m on nitrox, at least one person/day going into deco, ditching of a single group member on 46 m because he didnt want to go deeper, people running out of air, 2 guides for 26 people, wet and slippery decks and staircases, no proper safety and divebriefing etc etc. With 12 hours boatride from the next coast/emergency facilities I would have expected a lot more common sense!
Hi Verena!
I want to thank you for sharing your review on this liveaboard. I’m very sorry to hear that the diving operation was not up to the expected safety standards. Also, very glad to know you’re safe despite what seems like poor diving management.
Thank you for taking the time to let other divers know about your experience, and we truly hope you next diving cruise will be fantastic to make up for this!
Safe bubbles, always!
