Saturday 28th January – Thursday 2nd February, 2012 : 10 of us (Bob, Chris H, Duncan, Geoff, Ian, Laurence, Mary, Mike, Neil, Sue R) went off to the Red Sea to take part in a massive cleanup operation that just happened to involve diving – perfect match!
The trip was organised through blue o two and was aboard one of their liveaboards: The M/Y Blue Melody, 5* diving live-aboard with large dining area, separate sky lounge with state of the art entertainment system and double and twin cabins all benefiting from en-suite facilities, air conditioning and personal entertainment systems. A spacious dive deck makes kitting up and getting in the water a stress free experience.
We must have chosen right as Blue Melody went on to win the prestigious Diver 2012 award for‘Liveaboard of the Year’ and the Sport Diver 2013 ‘Best Liveaboard’ award! Lots more information is provided here
