I had the absolute pleasure of completing my Advanced Level Diving course with VIP Diving College, and I can honestly say it was an experience of a lifetime. Out of all the diving centers I’ve visited – and I’ve been to many – this one stands out as a clear 10/10.

The team at VIP Diving College is truly exceptional. They are not only incredibly professional but also deeply caring, always prioritizing safety while ensuring you have an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, they made me feel comfortable, confident, and excited about every dive.

A special shoutout to my diving instructor, Mody. Words cannot truly express how grateful I am for the knowledge, patience, and dedication he showed throughout my training. Mody isn’t just a great instructor—he’s a game-changer. He took the time to ensure I understood every detail, gave me personalized guidance, and treated me with genuine care and respect. His passion for diving is contagious, and his expertise is unmatched.

VIP Diving College is a place where you’re not just another customer—you’re part of a family that truly wants you to succeed and have an amazing experience. If you’re considering learning to dive or advancing your skills, I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you for everything, VIP Diving College, and especially Mody—you’ve given me skills and memories that will last a lifetime!

I was on vacation in Sharm el-Sheikh in July 2023. I contacted “VIP Diving College” because I was not satisfied with the services and prices offered at my hotel. I myself am a certified diver (AOWD+ Nitrox Diver - NDL), with 8 years of diving experience.

I was very pleased with the excellent team that works according to the strict standards of the diving industry:
- an adequate price list with a fixed price and bonuses for the number of days, no imposition of additional services and payments;
- obligatory timing, including transfers from neighboring hotels;
- polite and qualified staff from the director and instructors to assistants;
- mandatory check dive to test skills for compliance with the declared qualifications;
- guide-instructor, aimed specifically at your capabilities and skills (guides who work with Russians speak both English and Russian, everyone’s English is very good);
- detailed individual briefings, explanation of actions for possible situations, control points, guidelines;

I went to sea for 5 days, including snorkeling and intro-dives with children aged 12 and 15 years.

Instructors with whom I was glad to dive:
Ahmet, Aladin, Moodi. Everyone left an extremely pleasant impression of both communication and professionalism. Friendly, cheerful, polite. Children especially liked it because of the harmless jokes and kind attitude.

I would like to note the excellent work of the Yonis manager in organizing the holiday

For a family trip with both diving and snorkeling, I highly recommend a tour to the Tiran Island area (Jakson reef, Tomas reef, Gordon reef). An amazing variety of corals and various marine life around you.

For training and check dives, the dive center has a very beautiful home site Cleopatra + Rehana home reef, which is a sheer coral wall going into the depths. The site is suitable for all categories of divers.

When traveling on the WRECK "SS THISTLEGORM" I recommend taking care of the presence of 15 liter cylinders and Nitrox, if desired - since the depths are up to 30-32 m, and you have to climb onto the ship (including the safety stop) using the "walker".

I will be glad to go on a diving safari with the “VIP Diving College” team.

I stumbled across this diving school attached to my hotel and I spoke to one of the staff “Aladdin” he convinced me to try it out... Little did I know how this decision would change my prospective on open water diving and how diving would become my new hobby.

I opted for the 3x day course with 1x training dive in a swimming pool and 4x in open water dives, two of which are 12meters at Sharks Bay and the other 2x are 18meters at Cleopatra bay, plus a proficiency exam at the end. This qualifies you as a lifetime SSI open water diver and you can dive all over the world.

I was then assigned to my diving instructor “Kareem” he turned out to be the highlight of this course. Kareem’s attention to detail and work ethics above and below water is second to none. His enthusiasm, knowledge and experience made this course enjoyable and exceptionally educational.

From the office staff to the dive instructors at VIP team, thank you for making this course one of my best memorable holidays.

See you all soon.

The trip we went on to Tiran Island yesterday was truly amazing because of our instructor Kareem ! Firstly we are mother who has never snorkelled in her life for fear of putting my head under water.My sister who has a fear of water and never been in the sea and my daughter who can swim and snorkel.
Kareem gave us one to one support and his manner speaking slowly and calmly allowed myself to snorkel for the first time in my life seeing what our marine life is about brought me to tears . My sister that couldn’t get into water Kareem encouraged and gently she got into the Red Sea which was a truly inspiring moment !!
We had an amazing day and Kareem took my daughter to see all the beautiful corals and fish the Red Sea offered .
Please donot hesitate booking with this company they are truly wonderful and have made our holiday so special

Amazing trip, this trip was exactly as the sales guy advised 25 on the three level luxury boat and it is luxury! The pick up and drop off without any additional hotel stops and on arrival at the harbour it was less than 10 minute wait to board and we set off straight away. There was so much seating and we were made to feel very welcome by all the staff the kitchen team preparing the food, all took time to talk to us and made us feel welcome, so firstly thanks for making us feel welcomed. Osama from VIP was superb he made my kids feel very special he took time to talk to them and my daughter who is a nervous swimmer was taken snorkelling by Osama and he made her feel confident in the water and she was able to enjoy the beauty of seeing the amazing coral reefs. Nothing was too much trouble drinks all day, the food was fantastic and again for my son who was hungry before they served dinner was able to have something to eat… nothing was a problem! Can’t rate this trip highly enough sold through VIP Diving at Cleopatra… well done team if anyone is looking for a memorable trip book with this company..

Were for the first time in Egypt, vacationed in Sharm El Sheikh with their family at the hotel "Cleopatra Luxury Resort Sharm El Sheikh" from August 7-14, 2024. A luxury high-end hotel where I was lucky enough to meet the guys from VIP Diving College, which is located and operates on the premises of this hotel! It was thanks to these professional guys that I dived for the first time in my life to a depth of 8 meters underwater in the Red Sea for 25 minutes! It was something incredible! Ears are laid, on the one hand an infinite abyss, on the other an indescribable beauty! It was scary, but very beautiful! Anyway, it was "SCARY BEAUTIFUL"! 😁🔥 Thank you so much to my instructor Moody, who became my first mentor in my first diving experience and introduced me to the stunning underwater world from the cartoon "Finding Nemo"! Thank you very much, Moody, thank you Islam at the reception, all the divers and everyone, all the workers of VIP Diving College! You guys are awesome! Unequivocally recommend and look forward to meeting you soon so that I can feel the most invincible emotions of my life again in the depths!

We are in a 2 week break at the Cleopatra Resort and are having an amazing time.
VIP Diving College are located on the hotel beach and can provide you with an amazing range of water experiences. We, myself and 2 grandsons, 16 + 20, recently had the try dive day with them and what a fantastic underwater journey it was. It was the highlight of our holiday.
Collected on time from the hotel, it’s a short, 15 minute drive to the marina where the vessels are kept. Straight through security into the boat and made to feel welcome by the crew onboard. A short while later we set off to the first diving spot. Only a few of us had chosen the dive option, so whilst the others went off snorkelling we were given our prep talk etc. An in-depth questionnaire was completed with them checking out people’s medication etc. kitted out it was all systems go.
The guide was with me the whole time and obviously knows the reef like the back of his hand. It was most definitely not like swimming in Finding Nemo! It was a 100 times better. The colours of the coral, the variety of fish was breathtaking. We had the full 30 minutes but didn’t feel rushed at the. My guide was constantly checking I was ok.
Back onboard they helped me off with my kit. They couldn’t have been more helpful. We had 2 more snorkelling stops and were taken around by another guide and shown another amazing reef, if possible, more beautiful than the first. We were also lucky enough to have the company of a small pod of dolphins who put on a spectacular show for us.
Lunch was served after the second stop and was a really good selection of salads and meat and fish. No complaints there.
After lunch we moored up for the final stop and had the opportunity to just jump and swim or snorkel if we wanted to. Again, another beautiful reef and crystal clear blue water. You could just stand on the deck and watch the fish swimming below. Heading back to the marina a huge plate of fresh fruit was brought up for everyone to enjoy. Soft and hot drinks freely available throughout the day.
I can’t rate this company highly enough. We had already been on a snorkelling day with our tour rep and the experience simply don’t compare. If you’re staying in The Cleopatra, give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.
A massive shout out to the team,
YONIS, the manager, YOUSIF the salesman and not forgetting MOODI the diver and all the others. Thank you for a wonderfully exhilarating day that we won’t forget.

Splendid week, very beautiful dives: Barbara, Max and Ramadan with their professionalism and sensitivity help even the less experienced to dive and manage the different conditions that can arise at sea. Splendid people. Continuously clean premises and professionally trained crew: always attentive and present in helping everyone, very polite and friendly. Great feeling between crew and guides, this makes the environment peaceful and always friendly. Captain extraordinarily precise and attentive to everything, always!
We eat well. I will definitely come back, I recommend it.
