I love diving with Big Blue. You know the gear is going to be clean and in good condition, you know the ground staff are going to be helpful and friendly and the dive instructors/guides will be highly trained and a joy to spend your day with. Thanks guys.

If you are a frequent diver, and you wish to have the most of Dahab diving spots, head directly to the know-it-all guys here, the place is very welcoming with excellent management and very friendly staff. I had my deep dive specialty here, along with a spiritual Canyon dive which was one of my best dives ever. Save yourself the... More

When it comes to diving, safety and professionalism top my list of requirements. I consider it a GOOD sign that Big Blue makes refresher dives manatory for everybody who can't provide evidence of diving in the last 6 months. And before the dive machos send out a hit squad of head bangers: the refreser dive consists of demonstrating mask clearing,... More

Big Blue was where we landed in Dahab. Love the fast responses. Arranging a dive package is somehow agonizing, but Lyndsey at Big Blue, made it so much easier by composing a very comprehensive package including accommodation at reasonable price in short time. She was very responsive on all the queries and was very helpful with all kind of requests.... More

My friend and I started our diving course with Amr, and he was excellent. He was only with us for one day, and then Rashad took us in hand. Amr had a good excuse, though - his wife went into labour that night and gave birth to baby Nael. Congratulations Amr! Both instructors were patient and rigorous - they made... More

As a more "mature" student I started the open water diving course with an element of trepidation. I need not have worried - the professional attitude of Walid Sadik quickly gave me the confidence to undertake the dives necessary to gain my P.A.D.I. open water qualification. I started the course with Leonie but took an "extra" day out to get... More

The equipment I rented was very good, but not less important was the excellent service, the planning and the flexibility from the diving school.
