Actionable Feedback Policy

At Shams Diving Centers, we believe that listening to our guests is an essential part of providing better diving experiences. Since 1991, we have welcomed divers from around the world to explore the Red Sea, and feedback from our guests helps us continuously improve our services, safety standards, and guest experience.

Our Actionable Feedback Policy explains how we receive, review, and respond to feedback from guests, partners, staff, and members of the wider diving community.

Our Commitment to Listening

We welcome honest and constructive feedback about our services and experiences.

Feedback may relate to:

  • Diving trips and excursions.
  • PADI courses and training.
  • Dive guides and instructors.
  • Boats and diving equipment.
  • Safety and operational procedures.
  • Communication and customer service.
  • Facilities and guest services.
  • Environmental and conservation practices.

Whether your experience was excellent or there is something we could have done better, we value hearing from you.

How We Collect Feedback

We may receive feedback through different channels, including:

  • Direct conversations with our staff.
  • Email and online contact forms.
  • Guest reviews and testimonials.
  • Social media and online platforms.
  • Post-dive or post-course conversations.
  • Feedback from diving professionals and business partners.

We encourage guests to provide specific information whenever possible. Clear details help us understand what happened and identify appropriate improvements.

How We Review Feedback

Feedback is reviewed according to its nature and importance.

When appropriate, we consider:

  • What happened and when it occurred.
  • The service or activity involved.
  • The people or teams involved.
  • Any relevant safety or operational considerations.
  • Whether similar feedback has been received previously.
  • What action could reasonably improve the situation.

Safety-related feedback is treated with particular attention because the wellbeing of our guests and staff is always a priority.

Taking Action

Our objective is not simply to collect feedback—we aim to turn useful feedback into meaningful improvements.

Depending on the circumstances, actions may include:

  • Clarifying information provided to guests.
  • Reviewing operational procedures.
  • Improving communication.
  • Providing additional staff guidance or training.
  • Checking or maintaining equipment and facilities.
  • Reviewing customer-service processes.
  • Improving environmental practices.
  • Following up directly with the person who provided the feedback.

Not every suggestion can be implemented, but every genuine concern deserves to be considered fairly.

Responding to Guests

When feedback requires a response, we aim to communicate respectfully and professionally.

We may ask for additional information when it is necessary to understand the situation properly. Where appropriate, we explain what we have reviewed and what action can be taken.

We cannot always provide information about internal personnel matters, confidential business information, or other private details. Protecting the privacy of our guests and team members remains important to us.

Public Feedback & Reviews

We value reviews and public comments because they help future guests understand the experiences of other divers.

We aim to engage with public feedback honestly and respectfully.

We do not believe that every review needs to be positive. Constructive criticism can help identify opportunities for improvement and gives us the opportunity to address concerns openly.

We encourage guests to share genuine experiences and avoid publishing misleading, abusive, discriminatory, or personally identifying information about others.

Transparency & Accountability

Transparency means being willing to listen, acknowledge concerns, and improve where improvement is needed.

Our approach is based on:

  • Listening — taking guest feedback seriously.
  • Reviewing — considering concerns fairly and objectively.
  • Acting — making reasonable improvements where appropriate.
  • Communicating — providing clear responses when possible.
  • Learning — using feedback to improve future experiences.

Privacy & Respect

We respect the privacy of everyone who provides feedback.

Please avoid including sensitive personal information, payment details, medical information, or private information about another person when submitting feedback.

Where feedback involves a specific incident, we may need sufficient information to investigate it properly. Any information provided will be handled responsibly and only used as necessary to address the matter.

How to Share Feedback

If you have feedback about your experience with Shams Diving Centers, we encourage you to contact us directly through our official communication channels.

For the most effective response, please include:

  • Your name and preferred contact method.
  • The date of your visit or diving activity.
  • The service, trip, or course involved.
  • A clear description of your experience.
  • Any relevant details that may help us investigate the matter.
  • What you believe could have been improved, if applicable.

We appreciate both positive feedback and constructive criticism.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Every dive is an opportunity to learn, and every guest interaction is an opportunity to improve.

Since 1991, Shams Diving Centers has been part of the Red Sea diving community. We remain committed to listening to our guests, engaging respectfully with the public, promoting safe and responsible diving, and using meaningful feedback to make our services better.

Thank you for helping us improve. Your feedback matters.
