What Our Divers Say

Real stories from our community of passionate divers

J'ai effectué deux jours de plongée avec 2 moniteurs différents, tout aussi compétent l'un que l'autre. C'était très professionnel, organisé et fait avec le sourire. Merci pour tout, je recommande sans hésitation ! Ah oui j'oubliais ... Les fonds sont superbes !!!

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

I highly recommend Deep South Divers for my memorable dives in Marsa Alam. The dive masters are friendly and the owner, Mohammed is very accomodating. I especially recommend Hassan, who is not only an excellent dive master but someone who works tirelessly to bring satisfaction to his customers.

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

Deep South Dives to najlepszy klub nurkowy w Egipcie! 😃 Zespół jest niesamowicie przyjazny i przede wszystkim profesjonalny i doświadczony. Miejsca nurkowe, do których zabierają, zachwycają pięknymi widokami raf i różnorodnością życia morskiego. Nurkowanie z tymi ludźmi jest niezapomnianym przeżyciem, które polecam każdemu wybierającemu się do Marsa Alam. Do zobaczenia 😄
