Fun, professionalism and safety... Pyramids a guarantee

Unique experience, for me holiday in Sharm = Pyramids. Diving courses with them is unique. First of all from the initial contacts with Sabrina always available on whatsapp and to continue with the real diving experience with Julian, my Padi course director, there are not enough words, security, tranquility and experience and preparation without counting the human side, kindness sympathy and availability. What about it? If you want a true authentic experience choose Pyramids.

PADI open water course & white knight&mustafa

Took an open water course with my husband through the rihos seagete hotel. I express my great gratitude to manager Misha for selecting wonderful instructors (Amr and Mustafa). Very accessible and competent in communicating all information. Aside from that, we got a lot of positive emotions from the dives. We've seen morays, wings, rays, barracuda, a huge napoleon, dory fish. THANK YOU!

Open water Padi

Very good diving center, lots of things to see! Shams is a very good instructor, offers coffee and water, good-natured and funny but knows how to be serious when you have to. I highly recommend! ! Does not speak French, a good command of English is necessary for classes.

Very fun

Shams is a very good and strict instructor. He makes sure you understand every detail so you don’t make the same mistake again. We had fun and saw a lot of fish. We felt very at ease but confident to do the exercises well and we felt safe.

A Good Trustworthy PADI Dive Centre

Very good team. Reliable, fun, trustworthy. No problem with refunds when our kids got ear infections. I would recommend them. Only 4 stars due to lack of availability of drinks, snacks or other hospitality. Can’t even buy a Coke and a chocolate bar after diving, so need to BYO. This is strange, given that the branch we visited was set in an all inclusive hotel (Pikalbatros). Despite paying to be there (ie paying the dive company who were paying the Pikalbatros), we were forbidden from using any of the facilities - chairs, beach, sunbed, pool etc. Nevertheless, thanks to Misha, Ibrahim and Ahmad Nasser, and the crew on their boat Royal Pyramids.
