What Our Divers Say

Real stories from our community of passionate divers

Byliśmy w Egipcie w maju. Super baza nurkowa i świetna opieka ze strony pani Moniki Lis. Wszystko było doskonale zorganizowane, na czas i bez stresu. Nurkowania przebiegały super sprawnie. Czuliśmy się bezpiecznie i w dobrych rękach. Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni! Polecam z całego serca <3

Excellente expérience pendant 4 jours avec l'équipe du Deep South Divers. Très pro et très sympa. Nos enfants 15 et 17 ans ont passé leur certificat Open Water SSI et nous avons pu les accompagner avec 5 plongées. La sécurité est prise très au sérieux et tout est fait pour que les plongeurs passent une journée magnifique. Merci!

We had wonderful time together. Our instructor, Mohammed, was the best! He explained us every part of the course in an easy and efficient way. We hope to come back diving with you soon 🤩

Très belles plongées Par contre attention les niveaux français ne sont pas bien connus Bien précise à l’avance ce que vous souhaitez faire Il est aussi préférable de payer en liquide (euros) pour éviter les frais bancaires Arsan et Moudy étaient très gentils et professionnels

I had a great time with these guys. Every dive spot they chose had something unique. Dive masters are very professional and helpful. English works well. Full recommendation

Szkolenie (zarówno teoria jak i praktyka) dla początkujących bardzo zachęciło zarówno mnie i mojego młodszego brata do tej aktywności która dla ekipy Deep South Divers jest pracą ale przede wszystkim pasją i miłością! Czułam się bezpieczna i wiedziałam że jestem pod bardzo dobrą opieką. Ekipa pomogła mi przekroczyć następne granice i doświadczyć nurkowania na własnej skórze. Pozdrawiam Monikę, Synusia i Wiktorię🤿🌊 Widzimy się w ferie!💗

Amazing place, they offered a fantastic range of dives for all experiences, we're incredibly knowledgeable and we felt very safe and comfortable with them. Really really nice people too!

I have dived at this center for 3 days, 2 dives each day. I can comfortably say it was one of the most amazing experiences i've had! The coral reefs here are in perfect conditions, and you can experience them with ease and tranquility thanks to the amazing personel, from whom i have learned a lot even in the short time i stayed. All the gear is in great conditions and all check have been made. This is my go-to center in Marsa Alam from now on.
