Best Wishes for Whirlwind


The Wreck of Ulysses

“This was Lisa's first ever dive in warm water and the Red Sea. We were totally impressed with what we saw and the information supplied by the Dive Guides. Carnatic was..........Awesome!!!!!!!.....”  Lisa Richards & Carl Roberts

“First time open water diving again after a 10 year break.  Everyone was extremely helpful in getting me back into it (instructors, crew and guests alike). All the skills came back very quickly – thanks for the support!”  Lonn Landis

A nice easy start with a good choice of sites. Fun diving was had by all.” - Aquatech Group









“Ulysses was the dive of the day. It was simply stunning I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was.”John Holt

“The Thistlegorm turned me on to wreck diving.  I didn't think I would like wreck diving but the underwater museum is amazing.”  Lonn Landis

“This morning we saw the sun rise from the prop of the Thistlegorm with the wreck to ourselves! “ Paul, Paul and Dave.

“The boat was impeccably presented when I arrived and every effort was made to keep it tidy, a well run ship!!”  Tony Matthews

“The boat is clean, tidy and well presented.  I'm amazed that it's been kept so well with 20 messy salty divers on it every week!!”  Lonn Landis

“This was my first liveaboard  any others will have to go a long way to beat this.” John Holt

“What can you say..........They were fantastic.  Especially Yasser.  He fulfilled Lisa's lifelong dream........to swim with dolphins!” – Carl Roberts

This being our 2nd trip on the Whirlwind within 3 months, we can say that we think that the Guides and Crew do a grand job and are always so polite.  There are no complaints from us.  Thanks for the fun time and the great diving.- . J Swanley Sub-Aqua Club (SSAC)

Hot Chocolate, Wrecks and Night Dives



“Fantastic return to diving after 6 months off.  As a novice wreck diver all wrecks on this trip were loads of fun.  3 on the Thistlegorm...what a treat!” -  JFE

“Beautiful dive on the Ulysses with loads of life around the bow section, included hundreds of Sergeant Major fish and Black Grouper, Nudibranchs around the prop, glass fish and star fish n the stern section.” 

“Someone suggested a night dive with no torches on the Thistlegorm. Brilliant idea.  Very atmospheric and relaxing.”

“Great trio!  Resident T-gorm turtle was very patient with the lot of us pokin' 'round the house. Night dive on T-gorm...can't beat it...no torch tour; simply the best!” -  JFE

“This dive doesn't need fish.  What a spectacle swimming along that massive wall in its grandeur.  Simply breathtaking and so...National  Geographic “ – Shark Reef

Six hammer head sharks on Jackson and long drift back to the boat at the south side that was unforgettable dive, well done Sameh.”

“Crew incredibly professional and friendly; couldn’t do more to help.  All were a good laugh and their efforts made the trip.  Always on hand to assist before and after the dive.”

All I can say is my hats off to all from the Captain to the zodiac drivers.  I didn't have to work at all...except to don the wetsuit...what a pain.”

“The crew were very courteous, professional, knowledgeable and skilful.  It is amazing how these gentlemen manage the operation so smoothly.  Quick to satisfy any need when called upon. Great bunch of lads.” JFE, Jorgen and Glennie.

“Mr Mahgob's Hot chocolate after the night dive was especially nice.” S. Thackray
