We booked a snorkeling trip for the first time this week and upon arriving at the centre we were asked if we wanted to try scuba too! I had wanted to for years but was quite nervous about it! When I tell you the guys were so reassuring and friendly, I gave it a go after all and I'm so happy I did! The 2 instructors that were with us on the boat were so lovely! It was a real pleasure! I felt safe and well informed and it was truly a wow experience for me. We didn't think to bring a camera with us (silly I know) but they still took underwater photos for us! It was fun from start to finish! Definitely would recommend! My partner was unable to try scuba due to medical issues but we got to snorkel together after and it was really beautiful.

Great experience! I organized this tour for my family who is quite picky. Even though they don't speak any English, they loved it! The guide was attentive, the gear was good, and the program was well-prepared (they were very excited that they managed to see squids, sea tortoises, and different fish). The only problem was with my mom: she is a pescatarian and couldn't eat most of the food for lunch. Overall the experience was 5/5

Sakr was an excelent tourist guide!!! Always making sure we enjoy and feel happy Also Mansoor at the camp was very kind and helpful It was an amazing experience!!! Thanks a lot!!! Elvia Círigo

It was really nice. First time and I got to see sharks and giant turtles. The team is nice to newcomers. It is not a cheap thing, but it does worth it very much. I recommend.

Had the most amazing time, everyone involved were very friendly and made sure it was perfect.
