First class team at Deep South Divers. Signed up for three days of dives and every dive site was impressive. Modi also went the extra mile to ensure that we got to see a sea cow during our trip! Responsive and patient with questions, thorough trip organisation (including transfers and bonus falafel sandwiches), and professional service. Equipment was maintained well too. Will definitely dive with them again. Thanks for the hospitality and sharing with me the beauty of Marsa Alam and the Red Sea. Shukran awi!

I’ve been diving with Deep South Divers in April 2023 and had a great time with them in Marsa Alam. From the first contact (booking/organisation of the trip) to the diving, everything went smoothly and was well organised. Regarding Deep South Divers: they have a great team of young professional dive instructors and masters and made the right priorities (1. Safety, 2. Fun). Equipment was in good condition and the location in Tondoba is perfect to dive from the shore. Regarding diving Red Sea: there are several beautiful and diverse dive spots around Marsa Alam and as it’s yet not too overcrowded, the reefs are all in great condition (as far as I can judge). I got to see several rays, turtles, octopus, eels, etc. Apparently spring isn’t the best season to see sharks, thus I’ll go back and for sure will dive again with Deep South Divers.

I would like to highlight this diving company, which I had the honor to meet recently. You can see that this work is done by brothers who themselves do it from the heart. They certainly lack organization, communication and a pro-client approach, which is often lacking in Egypt. They are great professionals and thanks to them my vacation and diving were unforgettable. Thank you guys very much and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon

This place has the best ratings in Marsa Alam and as we learned this is well-deserved. The entire team is super friendly and helpful. We always felt well taken care of. Since we had not been diving for 2,5 years before, we even got one-to-one supervision with two dive masters joining the two of us during our first dives. This made us feel very comfortable and we could not have asked for a more pleasant environment to get back into diving. Special thanks to Mudi and Romy! In total we went for 12 great dives and we will return for more! We came back home with amazing memories and new friends. Hope to see you next year, Steffi and Simon

I got my open water in the 90s. I have not dove since 2004. I clearly needed a refresher. I'm so glad I did! Doing the advanced open water with Deep South Divers was a very safe and pleasant experience. Great group of people and the instructor was clearly a master. If you plan to dive in this part of the Red Sea, you can't go wrong with Deep South Divers.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND everyone to book with Deep South directly, or at least through a reputable hotel etc. I booked with a person in town who assured me they were an agent of Deep South etc. This turned out not to be true, and the information they provided me was all wrong (prices, where we would be diving etc). It’s hard when they are so pushy, but just say NO and book direct. When I got to the Deep South’s dive office and realised all of the info I got was wrong, I was super upset. Muhammad the owner came and met with me & talked with me about how they could fix it even though it wasn’t Deep South’s fault to begin with. We sorted everything out, and I have to thank Muhammad for his professionalism and service. He really saved the day and went out of his way to help me.
