I had an amazing experience completing my PADI Open Water course with Nass. He was incredibly professional, patient and friendly. He always took the time to explain everything properly. As a beginner, it was really important for me to feel safe and comfortable underwater and Nass did an amazing job making me feel confident throughout the whole course. He created a relaxed and fun atmosphere while still making sure we learned everything we needed to know. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. See you next time 🤿🌊

Padi Open water diving with Ahmed Gamal Amazing experience! We came for the open water diving license and were given Ahmed Gamal as an instructor and it couldn’t have been better. He helped me through difficulties at the start and made it a very enjoyable and manageable experience. I couldn’t recommend both the diving school and Ahmed more and I will be back when next in Sharm el Sheikh.

Where do I begin again with Red Sea Diving College? Following on from my review in February this year, where I said I was going to get certified with the college well.. I did! And today marks the first day of me being PADI Certified. As mentioned in my previous review, I dived with Alex and Hooch, this time I was accompanied by Ahmed Rostom, and he was absolutely exceptional, patient, perfect explanations, and not to mention how fun he makes his dives. Again the whole team were just amazing, I was lucky enough to briefly catch-up with Hooch, and he remembered me liked it was yesterday, as did most of the college which was a really warm and relaxing feeling going into the course, as diving can be scary! This really is a dream come true, and we will transition the spotlight onto my instructor Rostom for a few sentences. I performed most of the skills necessary to pass my PADI Open Water with a lot of ease, but there were stages such as, fully removing my mask, and removing my mask and swimming with it which definitely heightened my anxiety at times. Rostom was patient, and allowed me to do as many retakes, to the point where I could do it with ease at 6m depths! Additionally, Rostom took it upon himself to notice my true passion for sea life and the biodiversity within the ocean, and made sure to make our dives as centred to the reef as he could for me, with interactions with clownfish, being lucky enough to see a ginormous sting ray, a blue spotted ray, and other than the clownfish stealing the show, a personal favourite was a moray eel which we saw on our second day! (Unfortunately I couldn’t take my GoPro as Ahmed wanted me to concentrated, BOO!!) But thanks again team, you’re all fantastic, and I look forward to coming back to complete my PADI Advanced diving course, but until then! Mitch.

Un centre à recommander les yeux fermés Un centre très professionnel, sécure et l’équipe est juste extraordinaire. Des instructeurs parlant français. Un accompagnement qui est allé bien au-delà de leur job. (Souci de santé). Un immense merci à tous avec mention particulière à Gamal et Osama
