I explain my fears with my instructor Hassan at the Sensotorie Hotel in Sharm. Hassan was excellent, he got me... More

Unfortunately the one missing star in my review is for the deteriorating facilities at the dive center. My husband and I took our Open Water PADI course at the Hilton Fayrouz, Naama Bay dive site. Let me divide this review in pros and cons. The pros: George: our very concerned and sweet instructor who was very helpful, patient and genuinely... More

I really enjoyed the convenient location of Ocean College and the proximity of the training facility to the area where you get to experience the Red Sea first hand. The facility is surrounded by other businesses that support the industry as well. The staff at Ocean College was very knowledgable and willing to work around our schedule and time available.... More

I had emailed a few dive centres before heading out to Egypt and these guys were the only ones to reply. I wanted to do my PADI Wreck... More
