The wonders of Whirlwind


Our latest group of divers had a great time on-board Whirlwind with Dive Guides Sameh & Gado.  See what the first timer thought, the 3rd timer and the 4th

“As always these sights did not disappoint with plenty of life to see. Emperor was a first time for me and was quite surreal to see a liveaboard at the bottom of the sea. Beacon rock was great night dive with no moon, no lights so made an excellent dive.” – Paul Hill

“I love these wrecks!! Again plenty of life on and around all of them, Napoleons, blue spotted rays, and bat fish all made these memorable dives. Abu Nuhas at night is always a pleasure. “
Ann Somervill

“Rosalie Muller was impressive this was the first time actually being able to get to her and WOW!!”

Dived on the north side of Jackson hoping to see big fish, there were no firm sightings, but there was a shadow about 20m below that certainly looked like what we were looking for.” Paul Hill 

“A fantastic first liveaboard – will definitely be back – thank you to everyone.”

“4th time on Whirlwind, always the best.”

“3rd time on Whirlwind, doesn’t disappoint.”

First time on a liveabord would love to come again (and stay forever).”

“Was last out in Sharm in 1998 and did a similar trip. However a completely different experience for the better. Excellent liveabord, guides and briefings superb (thanks for the PPpx Sameh, great record of the trip). New wrecks explored and favourites revisited. Enjoyed the night dives every day.  Quieter than I remember but I suspect that was down to careful planning from Sameh and hitting the sites at the right time. Never had so much space on the Thistlegorm. Many thanks to good planing.”  AK

“Beautiful and better than a hotel for the week. “Andrew

Mistral's Magic


Wrecks and Reefs with Samer and Yasser
“First dive Stingray Station and we saw a huge Stingray! Fantastic ;-)” Caroline

“Lots of life to look at, weather fantastic, boat great. Lovely holiday!”

“As a non-diver on my first liveaboard trip I was extremely happy to see a hawks bill turtle whilst snorkelling around the barge wreck. “ Anne Shelley

“Seeing a turtle on the Ghiannis D was amazing!!!” Linda

“Night dive on the Thistlegorm is a must.  It's a bit of a surprise for a turtle to appear inches from your face above a hold but one not to be missed.” 
“Watch out for the huge blue moray free swimming around the boiler section of the Dunraven!!  It's like Harry Potter meeting the Basilisk in "Chamber of Secrets"!! “ 



“The boat lives up to all expectations. Cabins are cleaned regularly during the day and all areas of the boat are kept spotless.”

“We loved the boats layout it was spotless throughout the week.”

“The boat is spacious, clean and comfortable. Highly recommend it.”
“The crew are very attentive and helpful and nothing is too much trouble and the guides are happy to let experienced divers explore on their own.”

“The crew are super friendly and always ready to help.  The guides are extremely attentive and make you feel very comfortable in the water if you are not a very experience diver.”

“The crew work really hard at keeping the boat spotless. They are friendly & fun. “
