"Have just done my divemaster internship in Hurghada with a very nice British-run outfit called Gulf Divers at Beirut Hotel . I am in no way connected to them - they just did a really good course, very professional, in a town where the majority of the 200 other dive centres leave a lot to be desired from a safety and professionalim aspect.
Good value for money - 5 day pack (10 dives) 150 Euros with lunch included (2005). "

"40 Euros for a perfect daily dive, wish it didn't end! Nice and friendly atmosphere, professional guides and instructors, everything was tip-top! During my three days diving with them we saw at least 5 turtles on different days, several eagle rays, plenty of HUGE morays, lionfish of various types, stonefish, and of course all the myriad smaller citizens of the reefs. Paul, one of the dive guides, knows the reefs and points out tiny details that would otherwise go unseen. He also knows to take it easy and does not rush one around the reef and back to the boat. It's the best, no comparison needed. Just come and dive! "

"Had the best weeks diving on liveaboard Blue Fin with Company Blue o Two operating out of Hurgharda. First class all the way from pickup to drop off. The boat was excellent, the food superb and the diving varied, well-organised with safety as a priority. The dive guides were knowlegeable and went out of their way to ensure everbody's requirements on the dining front were met. A good selection of dive sites on the Northern Red Sea itinarary satisfied everyone. The crew were ever helpful ensuring that even this 54 year old diver of questionable fitness never missed one of the four schedualed dives everyday. I have no link with the dive operator. I have never contributed to this sort of forum before, even declinig to fill in standard holiday questionnaires. However I was so impressed with this organisation I feld compelled to comment. I shall be using them again. "

"I would recommend avoiding Diving world. They short changed me 2 days of a liveaboard on a 7 trip! work that out in cash. No one at airport to meet me, less dives than the Germans already on the boat and delivered to the airport late enough to nearly miss flight and sit 15 rows apart. Rubbish!"

"Be aware of there hidden cost: three divers toted up a bill of over 1800 euros. They didn't even warn us of all the hidden charges. We are going back to hugarda but not with these guys. They need black listing. Be aware."

"You can get a discount by pre booking on the web. They have a European call centre with a UK number if you want to talk to someone. Very professional and based at the Sheraton Mirimar resort. I took my PADI open water with them so I could dive with my partner who qualified with a different company in Hurghada earlier this year. The Sheraton Mirimar was a superb hotel very clean and friendly with good rooms. The sites we visited were better than those my partner had dived in Hurghada in May. They also endeavour to not go to sites that are crammed with other dive boats, and when planning each days dive take into account where people have dived before. "
Martin Tyrer, 2008
