The guide was amazing! very knowledgeable, and gave us plenty of time underwater until one of us hit 100 bar. Very safe/we'll regulated within Padi standards (actually more so compared to other padi centres I've dived with). very thorough with checks and safety. Highly recommend for open water/ advanced open water divers!

10/10 experience. We went scuba diving in Hurghada in July. From the get go the guide was understanding, calm, end explained every bit that we needed to know thoroughly. Both dives were done with a guide, 2 pers / 1 guide. We saw the beautiful reefs and the many fishes living in them. We had lunch on the boat, after the second dive, around 1PM. The lunch was decent and diverse. After the lunch we went near the Eden Island and had 1hour of free time, which we used for snorkeling. The program ended around 5PM, when we started to head back to the port.
