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.
An excellent diving center with super instructors who speak fluent English, German, Dutch. Super organized, very friendly, very helpful. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to do diving activities or simply wants to go out for snorkeling.
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.
