Just finished my PADI Open Water and, from the first WhatsApp message right through to the end, it’s been a great experience. They never got tired of me asking the same questions over and over. Good guidance on how to complete the theory side. The practical course was brilliant with Gamal, our instructor – very clear and concise. He showed us best practice as well as exactly what we needed to achieve to be competent in the water. Special thanks to Karim, who assisted us as well, and to the big man Adil – without him we’d have been khalas. Very honest about pricing. Honestly, there were no hidden charges or “extras”. One tip: prepare to be there all day, bring lots of water and snacks, and expect to miss lunch.

Very good experience. our dive master Gemal, was exceptional, very helpful and a great teacher. We had fun, even when we were tired I enjoyed it. his explanations were very good, and even when we struggled he were patient and helped us understand if we were unsure. He cared for us as students and we could see that he was dedicated to make sure we had fun and learnt everything we needed to.Couldn’t have asked for a better teacher 😆

i completed a reactivate scuba course with alex, who was very experienced and calm, letting us take things at our own pace and not rushed then went with hannah on the boat for some dives the following day. very helpful and friendly boat staff, excellent diving and felt very safe. would definitely use red sea diving college again if i return to sharm, potentially on a liveaboard. food on the boat was good too, and free hot and cold drinks included.

An amazing diving experience, I have just completed my PADI re-activate and Advanced Open Water courses. Alex my Instructor was so patient and helpful and an all round great guy, his 20+ years experience at Red Sea college ensured I got the best and safest training which boosted my confidence. All the staff were friendly and very helpful and you feel part of the team from the moment you arrive. I was picked up from my hotel every morning always at the time they planned, and dropped back to the hotel when we finished. The boat dives were fantastic, everything well organised, and the boat is spotlessly clean, especially the toilets. We did 2 dives and then had lunch (food was so much better than my hotel). We then did the final 3rd dive which for me was the best one because by then I was totally relaxed and taking in the amazing coral reefs and sea life that the Red Sea is so famous for. Personally I would recommend this dive school to anyone, who is heading out to Sharm el Sheikh, even if it’s just to try it out to see if you like it, there are all sorts of courses. I’m now having a days rest beside the pool before heading out on another boat dive with them tomorrow.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — 5 stars —The best dive I've had in years, thanks to Nazim/Nassim (&team) Red Sea Diving College delivered an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. But the highlight was my dive guide Nazim who stayed with me as my dive buddy the entire day — and when I could only complete one dive due to my early flight, he chose to stay on the boat with me rather than dive with the rest of the group. I never forget what he said " your safety is our # 1 priority! That level of dedication and professionalism is rare. He pointed out sea life I never would have spotted on my own and made the entire experience feel personal and safe. If you go, ask for Nazim. You won't regret it. This is truly "the original and still the best."
