Comments We dove the southern route (Red Sea Aggressor I) excellent coral diving, saw numerous Oceanic White Tipped Sharks, large Dolphin schools, beautiful coral reef fish, spotted eagle rays, a Big Red Octopus, Blue-spotted eagle ray.

Excellent service by the crew in all areas!!
The boat was in great shape.

Cleaning of dive equipment after dives and the end of the trip was inadequate.
Needs to improve communications during the dive trip.
I hoped to see more pelagics...

We added the Aggressor Nile Queen cruise trip after the dive trip, and We highly recommend the Nile Queen trip by Aggressor!!
