Another generic diving holiday video!

[MB NZ]

Red Sea North & Brothers itinerary, August 2023. Another generic diving holiday video! Just for my memories, but thought I'd share. Apologies to Arabic speakers about the music, while I know it's not inappropriate, it's not particularly relevant either. I just liked the song.

Thanks for sharing. I liked it more than a lot of other diving videos.

What is the name of the liveaboard and would you recommend it?

Grand Sea Serpent. Good boat, crew and food. I wasn't enamoured with the way they organised the diving though. Very large groups, mostly getting in/out the water together.

Looks like a big boat, how many divers, how many divers per group? Did they allow autonomous buddy diving?

27 divers. Group sizes were skewed because one family of 5 and another couple of young lads booked a private guide, leaving two groups of 10 divers for 2 guides which was too many, especially as they wanted the divers in/out the water together most of the time. Limited autonomous buddy diving was allowed at the easier sites. I don't have much to criticise about the trip and most people seemed to be happy, but I wouldn't book with them again.

My last two trips to Malpelo were 2 groups of 6 divers, each group at a separate site, that is about right. The conditions dictated that the group stay together

Great videography quality! My wife & I are entertaining a red sea trip and we're quite concerned by the quantity of divers, Liveaboards at dive sites etc. The reefs in your video healthy and great. GREAT CAPTURE!!
