Fantastic experience

I completed my open water padi and it was amazing from start to finish. Everything was well organised including pick up from our hotel. Julian was fantastic, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful, explained everything well and allowed me to take my time and helped put my nerves at ease. The diving itself is incredible, beautiful reef and so many variations of sea life. I would definitely recommend!

Professional, fun, safe and trustworthy.

Excellent. Safe, happy and trustworthy. As a family, we dived with Pyramid. 2 older boys (young men really) and 2 even older parents. The boys did their PADI Open Water courses and, as my wife and I hadn't dived for over 20 years, we refreshed our skills. The boys completed their dry-side learning in the UK - which is a fantastic option. We were picked up from our hotel nice and early (07.45). The early start meant we were back at our hotel for lunch. We were driven to the centre where the diving took place, at the hotel JAZ Fanara Resort. It was a busy, but well organised centre. On the first day, you get kitted out and that is allocated to you for your entire time with Pyramid. Overall, this saves a huge amount of time messing around and you always know your gear fits! I have to admit, I was feeling very nervous about going under water after such a gap, but the DM was so reassuring, it wasn't long before I remembered why I enjoyed diving. Also it is difficult to say thank you to only one person, they we all outstanding and genuinely seemed to want us to enjoy our time. After the courses, we all took the boat trip to the Ras Mohamed National Park. Once again, and despite the numbers of people there, we always felt safe and looked after. It was magical to dive together as a family and we have to thank everyone at Pyramid for their part in our amazing experience.

A wonderful journey!

We had a great time with the course of Pyramids Diving Center. Our teacher Mohamed Abd Elkarim was great. He had patience with us and was very friendly. We will recommend him! The team in the center is a real team and all of the members are very friendly as well. It was a wonderfull experience.

An amazing experience! The three-day course offered a perfect balance between theory and hands-on practice. Our instructor, Mohamed Abd Elkarim, was incredibly patient and guided us step by step, allowing us to confidently master all the skills. Absolutely recommended!
