Wonderful. - Very well organized, for a fee there is the possibility to do two diving excursions and they are worth all the money spent, you will never be left alone and you will be trained on the experience to do, alternatively during the stops you can do snorkeling to admire the majesty of the coral reef, arrival at the White Island and small stop to take very beautiful photos 😊

Nice boat with a great crew - The boat we travelled with was really clean and nice. The captain was great, did a good job. The crew told every important thing we had to know. We had to memorise the name of the boat (La Luna) and that was on of the most important to remember. Although there were many other boats, we did not feel to crowdy non of the places we stopped, since the crew was really friendly, but serious in safety issues. You have to know that at the beginning you have to wait until everybody arrives who will be on your boat and it can take a while. But you can sit down there, rent your life jacket and snorkelling equipments if you want, and buy something. Nothing is obligated. prepare wirth towels and a pullover, it can get chilly because of the wind. The snorkelling is ok, the corals are really nice, but you always have to go after a guy from the crew. The lunch was very delicious, with the serving of the crew. White Island is funny place: a sandy little island, we swam there and photos were taken by a photo guy, if we wanted. The photo guy was correct and was making good photos. We enjoyed the experience, thanks for it and gratulation for the crew! Transportation from the hotel was good, with a kind driver (with stops on the way at different hotels). The transportation back was with a different driver, he was not that kind, but was ok.

Beautiful day of snorkeling - We organized this excursion together with 3 other excursions with the guys of book tour Egypt and we had a great time. I would like to give a special mention to the impeccable and precise organization, since you arrive in Sharm they regularly write messages on WhatsApp in Italian to keep you updated on everything, from the pick-up time at your hotel to remember documents to bring or possibly not to bring. Also during the day they write to you to know if everything is going well or if they can solve any problems encountered (never had fortunately, everything perfect). The drivers they rely on are punctual and very competent. During this excursion the guys at Dive were professional and kind. They always tried to find areas off ras Mohamed where there was less current and it was safer to swim maybe losing those 10 minutes more than other boats. It is possible to snorkel alongside the instructor around the reef to which you have moored, usually you try to stay in a group because there are many people and there can be a risk of "getting lost" and therefore waste the group's time. In my case I stayed in the water when everyone returned by boat and the instructor was very kind in following me on a solo tour of the reef with which I could go more quietly and at my own pace in exploring the reef. Even in the case of people who do not know how to swim or have difficulties there are always 2 snorkel instructors in the water with a lifebuoy that you can cling to to get carried around by them and see the wonderful coral reef. I have seen people who are really happy to have been able to do this experience despite not knowing how to swim. On board the boats there are independent photographers not tied to the agency to take pictures on the boat or for those diving if one decides to do it, they are not insistent. Speaking specifically instead of the excursion to ras Mohamed and the white island as a coral reef and snorkeling spots I liked much more the outing to the island of Tiran but there is also to say that the number of reefs present at ras Mohamed is really huge and you would need dozens of outings to visit half of them. So if I have the chance I will definitely come back to explore others. The white island is an experience to be had once you go there but is in the future I will avoid it without regrets. Lunch on board was delicious with generous portions that you can take back as much as you want. (Rice, pasta, chicken cutlet, seasoned vegetable mix etc.) Water and soft drinks such as Coke or Sprite are available throughout the day. Truly a wonderful experience that I recommend to everyone. Of 7 days spent in Sharm we stayed outside the hotel for 4 and they were the best days of the holiday.

White Island - The lunch was phenomenal, the boat was gorgeous and the guides were so helpful with information, the history and just the general doings of the day. It did not feel like a long day and really wish we could’ve spent more time in each area :)

Nice day at sea - First the positives: - Pickup from hotel on time - Spacious and very clean boat with very friendly staff - Tasty food for lunch The cons: - 2.nd snorkeling stop was very disappointing and only 100m from first stop. It was at a tiny pinnacle and it was a "Human soup", very very cowdy. I will for sure use the same company again on my next vacation to Sharm El Shaikh

Very good value for money. - Very good. Disorganised pick up and when you get to port. Felt abit like herds of sheep. Once on board. Spacious. No sugar free drinks available. Limited to tea/coffee/water and Sugar coke. Overall staff were brilliant. Had a really good, but longer then expected day. Thank you. Expect to pay extra for a snorkel mask and life jacket.
