Diving experience with Mustafa

It was one of the best experiences of my entire life. Mustafa, my diving instructor, taught me everything I needed to know about scuba diving. He was very kind and professional. He is the best instructor! Every time he saw a beautiful sea creature he showed me it (stingray, colorful fishes such as lion fish etc.) and that is why I will never forget this experience!

Great dive school and instructors

Excellent diving centre, particularly the instructor Mohamed abd Elkarim, who trained our family of 5 (adults and teenagers) to the Padi Advanced Open Water level. Very professional yet fun on both shore dives as well as a 2 day boat safari. Can highly recommend

The best diving centre in Sharm el Sheikh

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! When I’ve arrived to Egypt I didn’t plan to become a diver but after chatting one day with Ahmed the sales rep he convinced me to try it out. By the end of my holiday I have completed Open Water and Advanced Diving qualifications. I still cannot believe it! If not you Ahmed I would not done it so thank you so much! I was diving mainly with Emad who was really professional and managed to deal with me - a very anxious lady:D without any problems. He is an excellent instructor that can make anyone feel comfortable and safe under the water even at the 20m night dive-Thank you Emad you are the best! If Emad managed to teach me how to dive he can teach anyone- that’s for sure :D Special thank you to Mohammed Karim for completing the 30m dive with me on my last day. He didn’t allow me to give up and he is seriously like a Buddha- calm and tranquil with his students:D thank you so much Mohammed. I was so happy afterwards and it definitely wasn’t nitrogen narcosis :D Also service equipment staff was looking after us everyday without hesitation and we where always greeted with big smiles on their faces.They where working extremely hard to allow us to have an amazing experience every day. Thank you guys for creating amazing memories for us! Fortunata and Przemek

Best family dive experience

We had an amazing dive trip with these guys. With very little advance notice they were able to set us up with the perfect boat and crew for a two day liveaboard dive trip. They were always super professional and courteous and made sure we were looked after but also that we got the most out of the dives. The dive spots are among the best we have ever been to. The instructors ensured we had variety and excitement and that the schedules and dive plans were within our groups limits. We ranged from 12 year olds to 50 year olds and we all came away thrilled and agreed that we would highly recommend Mohammed el Karim and Mohammed 2 and the whole Pyramids Dive Center team. Thanks guys, we hope to be back soon!

Took my trial dive, decided to continue to PADI open water diver certificate ! Mahmoud the best ! Complete pleasure.

I took PADI open water diver course at 12.04-14.04 at this diving centre. First of all it was just few steps away from my hotel room. Me with my wife were wondering around and found this place. I was always interested in diving but never tried, so I asked the guy at centre if it was possible to try. He was very polite and told all the opportunities, so I decided to try my first dive next day. On the next day morning my instructor Mahmoud was waiting me . He provided all instructions , gear and we started our training in the pool upstairs . He was very careful, shown all necessary techniques for our first dive and checked if we can perform them by ourselves. Afterwards we took our first dive at the sea. I can’t describe emotions!!! It was fantastic. Mahmoud was in control of situation , but did not interfere with enjoying the moment. After my first dive I decided that I want to take PADI OWD course. They provided me with all educational information. All other dives in closed and open water I had personally with Mahmoud. He is very bright and kind person, enjoyed every moment with him! All educational process was complete pleasure! I would like to thank all other staff , the guys who helped me at diving centre and at the diving spot! Mahmoud, Mustafa and all other guys u truly became my Egyptian family! Thank you very much Leo

Highly recommended !!!

Here I successfully completed the PADI Open Water and Advanced Courses with instructor Wessam. He was very professional, friendly and supportive. The Red Sea was amazing: incredible reefs, different flora and fauna. Best vacation experience!

Amazing instructor

Excellent team. The instructor had to teach my 14 year old son so I needed someone who made the experience fun but safe. Would definitely recommend this instructor for anyone wanting a quality experience. My son even got to swim with a turtle which was just the icing on the cake.
