Open water dover

Amazing and accommodating experience – the perfect course for our daughter and the whole family! ​We can highly recommend this dive center, especially if you are looking for a personal and family-friendly approach. Our 11-year-old daughter completed her Junior Open Water Diver course here. The dive center was incredibly accommodating—for a small fee, they allowed both my wife and me to join her on the boat throughout the entire training. ​Since our daughter does not speak fluent English yet, we were able to translate all the theory and instructor briefings for her on the spot, which gave her great confidence and peace of mind. As a certified diver, I was also able to dive alongside her and share her first underwater experiences. ​The instructors and boat crew were very kind, patient, and always focused on safety and comfort. They handled all our requests with a warm smile. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience, and we are taking home wonderful shared memories with our daughter. We will definitely come back!

Open water PADi

I had such a fantastic experience completing my OWD course here! The instructors were incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, explaining everything clearly and always making sure we felt comfortable and confident before moving on. The whole experience was made so easy and stress-free, with a driver picking us up from our hotel each day and dropping us back afterwards. Every dive was at a different beautiful location, which made the course feel like so much more than just training. I especially loved that everything was completed in open water, so after practising the required skills, we could spend the rest of the dive exploring and enjoying the incredible marine life. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to learn to dive. The whole team made the experience fun, relaxed, and memorable, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about completing their Open Water Diver course!

Magical

I recommend this Open Water course 100%! An unforgettable experience in Hurghada. A huge thank you to Ahmed, an exceptional instructor: patient, professional, reassuring, and always attentive. Thanks to his clear explanations and his guidance, I gained confidence from the very first dives. The dive sites were magnificent and the entire organization was perfect. If you wish to get your Open Water certification in the best conditions, don't hesitate to choose Ahmed who speaks French very well. Thanks again for this incredible adventure!

Great experience

I did the PADI open water course at Dive Nemo. Pleasant informal team, very good instructor and good equipment. The emphasis is on safety but also on fun. The crew on the boat was also knowledgeable

Amazing diving school

I had an incredible experience taking the OWD course here. The instructors were friendly, explained everything really well, helped us where we needed it. A driver picked us up from our hotel and brought us back afterwards each day, so we didn't have any trouble reaching the boat either, which was great. Each dive we did was at a different, beautiful location, and the fact that everything was done out in open water meant that, during the training dives, we would do some of our skills, and then just do the rest of the dive for fun. I would be very happy to come back some time for the AOWD course (which I would have taken right then and there had the weather been better...)

Great time diving with DiveNemo in Hurghada.

Everything was arranged perfectly!!! Everything was organized from the Netherlands. We were able to do the Open Water Diver theory at home and the practical part at Duikschool Nemo. We were picked up from the hotel and dropped off again. We went diving for 4 days and learned everything at a relaxed pace. Attaching and detaching the BCD to your tank, the weight belt, changing your BCD on the water, taking your mask off and putting it on underwater. We learned everything we needed to learn to successfully complete the course. Food on the boat was also well organized. Something for everyone, even for picky eaters like my son. Instructor Ahmed really took the time to explain everything calmly and thoroughly. All in all, highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn to dive in a relaxed way.
