Station is well organized, professional and helpful crew, two nice boats with toilet and suncovered upperdeck. Nitrox for free and dives for any skill level available. No complaints, happy to come back again somewhen.
I was with Michaela and her team in the last week of September 2021. After 2 years without diving, I was sufficiently starved. As always, Michaela took excellent care of everything beforehand (I had also booked a room with her in the Shams Lodge). Although the actual base boat, the New Shams, was still in dry dock, we were offered an excellent replacement with a great captain and courteous crew. And of course the always friendly base team around Gina, Paula and Essam did everything to make you feel like a friend and not just a paying customer. There is no need to waste words on the area, for me Safaga is still perhaps the most beautiful area after the offshore reefs in the Red Sea. We saw everything from dolphins to eagle rays to whale sharks. What more could you want? My 3rd time in Shams will definitely not be my last. Thank you for a fantastic week of diving and see you soon!
