I had an absolutely amazing experience with Deep South Divers in Marsa Alam! From start to finish, everything was incredibly professional and well-organized. Safety is clearly a top priority here, and I always felt completely comfortable and in good hands.The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable — they truly made the whole experience unforgettable. I completed my Open Water Diver certification in just three days, and it was a perfect mix of learning and fun. After that, I enjoyed several fun dives that were simply breathtaking.The reefs in Marsa Alam are stunning, with an incredible variety of marine life. Every dive felt like a new adventure. This was without a doubt one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt.Thank you, Deep South Divers, for an unforgettable diving experience! I can’t wait to come back.

If I had known my experience with Deep South was going to be that good, I would have stayed longer for a few more dives or get another certification. I've been diving in Thailand, Central America and the Mediterranean and this was one of the best dive centers I've met so far. Mudy and his team are genuinely chill and easygoing but they are also extremely careful with safety measures and planning. They've provided us with brand new equipment, titanium tanks which were lighter and more confortable and we've dived some nice spots near marsa alam. In the price they've also included pick up and dropping off, which is to consider as distances can be considerable. They were also super patients and careful with beginners, and also took pics and videos which is a nice detail. If you are diving in Marsa Alam or near the area, I would write them without hesitation. Thanks and greetings from Argentina!!

Właśnie ukończyłem kurs OWD nie mogłem wymarzyć sobie sobie lepszej szkoły i instruktora. Pani Monika z wielką pasją i zamiłowaniem uczy nowych kursantów( dodam że dowiedziałem się dużo więcej informacji i rad niż znajomi którzy robili licencję w Polsce). Gorąco polecam nie ma lepszej szkoły żeby zacząć przygodę z nurkowaniem. Instruktorzy to zawodowcy i bardzo doświadczeni nurkowie. 🤩

Polecam z całego serca bazę nurkowa. Ich doświadczenie zaangażowanie jest niesamwite Przygotowanie do kursu oraz czas spędzony pod wodą coś wspaniałego.Bardzo chciałbym podziękować Monice za perfekcyjne przygotowanie mnie do nurkowania głębokiego Deep Diving.

Coś niesamowitego i niepowtarzalnego spotkać prawdziwych pasjonatów i profesjonalistów, jakim jest team z Deep South Divers. Monia Twoja energia i podejście do ludzi zaraża optymizmem i pozostawia niezapomniane wspomnienia. Zaangażowanie całego teamu oraz pasja z jaką to robicie stawia Was za wzór. Oby wszyscy podchodzili do swojej pracy (pasji) w tak cudowny sposób. Dzięki za super atmosferę, niezapomniane wrażenia i na pewno do zobaczenia🥰😍❤️😀

Hands down the best diving school! They are very thorough, very sensible but also caring and warm, the instructors here make the first steps into scuba into an amazing experience. Every student is taught according to their progress and possibilities so that everyone can advance at their own pace. I saw such beautiful things and had such moving moments marvelling at the underwater world. From a complete beginner, I now know what to do in every basic situation that I'll find myself in! Muhammed and Monika are patient, kind and extremely professional teachers and if you want to get OWD certified - go to Marsa Alam and ask for them, it's gonna be great 😁 Regards - I'll be back for more dives!

Une équipe au top! Autant sur la terre que dans l'eau vous êtes assuré de passer de bons moments En niveau 1 il y a déjà de beaux spots à visiter et l'équipe sait s'adapter aux capacités de chacun 😊

Had a wonderful experience with mudi and team. Our sun achieved his SSI junio open water with the Deep South divers and on top we were able to swim with dolphins. Definitely recommend them for their expertise and experience of the area.
