Great experience.
I went with my husband and 18 year old son in December. At 60 years old I was very nervous but Ahmed was an excellent and very encouraging instructor and we all really enjoyed it. I liked the fact that we started in the sea, not a swimming pool, and there were loads of fish to distract me from my nerves and to inspire me to push myself. By the time we went down to 18m I felt very confident. We organised it through Sabrina and she was very helpful and answered all queries very promptly. I would thoroughly recommend and I have 3 friends going early February.

Crazy idea and amazing experience
Getting certified was probably the craziest decision I've made in a while. I knew nothing about certification and had only done a few excursion dives, but I was lucky enough to have Rahma as my instructor. I thank her for her attentiveness, understanding, friendliness, and sternness when necessary. It was only thanks to Rahma that I overcame difficult moments and acquired all the necessary skills.
I would also like to thank the entire team - instructors, technical staff for their help, friendliness and support.
On my next visit I will be happy to return to this office to obtain my Advanced certification and gain new diving experience.

Open water cours at Pyramid diving center
Mixed experience, great instructor but poor organization
We booked an Open Water Course (3 days) with Pyramid Diving Center in Sharm El Sheikh.
First of all, I want to highlight that the instructor/trainer was an excellent person – professional, calm, fun and very kind with the students. On a human and teaching level, the experience was positive thanks to him.
Unfortunately, the overall organization and communication were disappointing.
We stayed at Steigenberger Alcazar Hotel, and when the course was sold to us in our hotel, we were not informed that the diving activities would take place in Fanara hotel on the other side of Sharm El Sheikh, with at least 30 minutes drive or much more is we picked up other divers along the way. This resulted in losing almost half day.
I accompanied my childs and I was not allowed to stay at the beach or use any of the hotel facilities from the same hotel chain (even I had all inclusive package) during the diving days. Instead, I was obliged to stay inside the diving center for around 4 hours while the dives were taking place.
This was particularly inconvenient because the divers were minors, and I was there only to accompany them for safety reasons. Being confined to the diving center for such a long time, with no prior warning, was frustrating and unnecessary.
Summary:
• ⭐ Great instructor and personal attitude
• ❌ Poor communication, hiding some important details before I paid the course
• ❌ Long transfers not disclosed in advance
• ❌ Inconvenient and restrictive arrangements in Fanara hotel for accompanying parents

Super expérience de plongée avec Amr le meilleur moniteur !
Super expérience avec le meilleur des moniteurs Amr que nous vous recommandons fortement. Amr est gentil, drôle, et saura vous mettre à l'aise quelque soit votre niveau
Nous avons passé notre brevet Padi open water diver avec lui et c'était un réel plaisir ! De plus les prix sont très avantageux !
Attention toute fois aux packages photos qui eux... le sont beaucoup moins, compter 200 euro minimum pour un package de photo complet ! Mais ce n'est pas une obligation, c'est juste qu'on se sent un peu forcer si on veut repartir avec de jolies souvenirs de là bas.
Merci également à Ahmed qui travaillait pour le centre de plongée Padi dans notre hôtel le "Steigenberger Alcazar"
