Aquarius Dive Club

Sheraton Sharm Hotel
Al Pasha Coast
Sharm El Sheikh
Egypt

Rating: 5 stars

"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. "
James Davies, 2007

Rating: 5 stars

"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
