Five SCUBA diving centers in Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada, located in Sofitel Hotel (AquaMarine),
Crowne Plaza Resort, Mecure Luna Sharm, Na'ama Bay and the Hilton Hurghada Plaza. Our headquarters, called the 'White House' is located on Peace Road in Na'ama Bay. Divers International - 'White House' is a PIRA Gold Palm Resort.
"Cost was 222 euro for 3 dives (1 beach and 2 boat), lunch and Thistlegorm. I would try them again only if they give me a 15% discount and guarantee me dives in the good spots. In short. They are okay. The dive master was good, though a little inflexible. I didn't like paying 9 euro for a low quality lunch either. My main problem was that they didn't have a good definition of the boat schedule. I was snookered into taking the Thistlegorm (presumably since this dive had a much higher profit margin) even though I specifically insisted on Ras Mohammad dives. I hope that next time, the boat schedule and the options can be made clearer and possibly made accessible online too. Boat was reasonable. Had all the needs. A little slow for thistlegorm but did the job well. I would go again, but with a good discount. The food could definitely be improved especially considering we are paying 9 euro ! Its not cheap. Its about the same deal as you can get in the US which is a very expensive considering that Egypt should be a very very low cost place relative to the US.
" "Divers International, Na'ama Bay, 280 Euros, would dive with them again."
Sheraton Sharm Hotel "I visited Sharm El-Sheikh for the first time in September this year. As a disabled person (tetraplegia
a full time wheelchair user) who had not dived before I decided to take a couple of introductory lessons with Cybaqua - Mike's Dive Shop in Warrington. After a very sucessful introduction here in the UK I was bitterly disappointed when I arrived in Egypt that several dive centres werent interested in taking my custom as they saw my disability as a huge problem, I'm convinced that one very well known centre actually saw it as an open cheque book, demanding nearly £500 for one day class work and two introductory dives. "I would like to recommend Aquarius Dive Club in the Sheraton Hotel in Sharm El-Sheikh. Very professional and allowed us to be really flexible with our diving holiday." " In september I took my Advance Open Water and passed. i went on to do a further 12 dives at some great sites. I was so happy with my diving experiences that I returned to Sharm in December to do a few more dives. All of my dives were completed with Aquarius. Thanks to Stefan, Ahmed and the crew. I'll be back in March.
" " Can highly recommend Chris (Instructor) from Aquarius found his instruction excellent and he filled me with confidence.
" " My tutor was Rob Pearson for my open water course. Very good and professional. I will dive with them again as soon as i can get back over there.
" " Was picked up and returned to hotel every time, distance was no object. Passed open water advanced, chris was a excellant instructor, ensured I was happy, enjoying experance and learning as i go. All staff happy & friendly people.
" "Only had time to revalidate my Advanced Open Water qualification. However instructors very experienced, very friendly and honest. Instructor (Gary) made it an enjoyable day and has encouraged me to get back into diving. First time diving ouside the UK - nice to be able to see beyond a few meters and so much wildlife - brill. Girlfriend did Scuba introduction - think it was Julia who gave a very nervous person much support to someone who cannot put head underwater. Cannot fault the club. Did not stay at the Sheraton. But would do after seeing facilities and location.
" "Completed Open Water course and the Aquarius dive club and instructor (Gary) were brilliant and extremely flexible.
" "They have a good service with transportation. Cost is about 200 Euro for 3 days daily diving safaris.

Naama Bay "Good value dive centre. Completed PADI Advanced Open Water and 1 day extra diving. Fantastic boat and lunches. Staff and instructors were the best. Definitly would recommend and will dive with them again. Was competitivly priced and given the attention to detail and quality of the instruction would say excellent value for money. I have dived in several of the "good" dive resorts and this was by far the best. Much less crowded than the other big dive operators. We pre-booked the course and were impressed by the quality of information and speedy responses to the e-mails I sent." Vicki, UK, 2006

Tel: +44 07540081170 "Dived with 321dive - nothing was too much trouble. Great experience - throughly recommended best value by far. Thanks Toby! I'll be there again. Not a 5* holidya but a proper diving break. V good value for money - shopped around but found 321dive cheapest, like for like. Red sea diving is red sea diving. never disappoints and is only a few hours away. Found Thomascook cramped...sardines/cattle comes to mind. Had a great holiday and will use 321dive next year again
"
"I went away with 321dive a few weeks ago to Egypt on one of my diving holidays. In all of my years of holidays and trips I can safely say they were the cheapest, most helpful and best value. As a family we had a few issues initially with dates and details but 321dive accommodated any request we had with fantastic efficiency and good humour. We booked originally online which was great to do (our previous dive company made a mistake over the phone!) and I deffo recommend 321dive Egypt dive holidays to anyone – everything was organised so well.
"
" Went recently on a group trip to Dahab and got a great deal with 321dive. In 30 years of diving these guys are the best value!
"
" Definitely dive with these guys again - school trips and groups they are brilliant for. Got a great deal. Very good value for money - 1:10 free place, but we had 21 and we got 3 staff free."
" Went on a school trip in Easter. Pupils and staff had an awesome time. Great value for money and very safe. Recommended unreservedly. Diving with 321 dive already next year again now! Very good value for money. Easily beat any other quote we went for (out of 4). Thirrd dive trip to date, two with 321 dive, we will continue to use 321dive unitl foreseeable future. No problem getting them past the Local Education Authority hurdle of risk assessments etc Very pleased with overall experience, including the pre-leaving admin for our school group (38 strong + 4 staff).
