Hope you have been well. I have had a fantastic trip to Brothers Island on Contessa Mia couple of weeks ago, the dives were pretty challenging with the changing currents but overall an awesome experience. Bit disappointed that there were very few sightings of sharks that were far away, not close up, as the water temperature were too warm for them to come up. Apart from that, I'll go again! Saul

Just a quick note to say thanks to Scuba Travel for a super holiday (5-12th August) onboard Contessa Mia - Brothers Route. Despite being blown off The Brothers and switching to an alternative itinerary (Northern wrecks and reefs I think), I had a fantastic time and met some great new diver mates. Hany our guide was excellent, a credit to the Sea Serpent fleet dive team, the crew were very competent in what they did, and the food was tremendous, well up to the standards I have come to expect from Scuba Travel.

My partner and I have just returned from a holiday on a Red Sea liveaboard the Contessa Mia. We booked rather later for the trip; the standard of service was good and we experienced a fantastic holiday. I would like to share with you the highlight of the trip which was a gentleman by the name of Mike Ward, what a marvelous fellow; his knowledge on the Red Sea wrecks was second to none. The briefings were very informative with an excellent delivery style which kept you captivated, a pleasure to listen to. Mike held a digital photo work shop; the topics were relevant and delivered at levels that were comprehensible to all. Mike's passion for diving and photography was an inspiration to us all, nothing was too much trouble, be it advice on how to shoot a subject or help on setting up your camera. On chatting with the other guests it is apparent that everyone had learn't something which would aid them in their future photography adventures, even an antiquated film user like myself found the sessions motivational.

Just a very brief note to try to express how much I enjoyed my latest trip with yourselves, everything was wonderful EXCEPT the 2 guides, Val & Sarah who quite frankly were the best I've ever dived with, the briefings were superb, details included photo's of the wrecks both before and after their sinking as well of picccies of what we could expect to see 'fish-wise' they really made the holiday & frankly give me something to aspire to be! Great holiday - I'll be back, but you can expect a request that they are on the boat! Cheers. Tessa

Dear Scuba Travel. I would just like to thank your team for a wonderful holiday aboard the MV Contessa Mia. Pete and Mohammed were the perfect guides and the whole crew made the week a fantastic event. I noticed that Tony was in Sharm that week and would have liked to have thanked him in person. Please pass on my thanks, and I'll send him a copy of the DVD I have just produced of the trip. Should he be looking for any new recruits for the Red Sea, then I'll be ready and able. Regards.
