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 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

Although the initial promise „learning how to fly“ sounded almost too good to be true, it was not exaggerated. Diving really is one of the best ways to spend your time and the „Deep South Divers“ School with it’s amazing house reef is the right place to learn it. We had the great pleasure to do our open water license with Mohammad Mustafa who is an amazing teacher. During the whole course he was supportive, calm and of course very knowledgeable. We always felt safe, received study materials in our native language (german) and were picked up at our hotel daily. Furthermore the other team members were extremely friendly and knew their craft. We will definitely come back for further diving. Thank you for the great experience.

Earning my SSI Junior Open Water Diver certification at Deep South Divers in Marsa Alam was an exhilarating experience. Under Moodi's expert guidance, we assembled our gear and embarked on memorable dives, discovering the underwater world. The diverse team added to the adventure. The beach-to-beach dives and the thrilling boat dive showcased the stunning marine life. Despite the extra day for my parents, the overall experience was enriching, and the Deep South Divers team made it unforgettable.

I know Mohamed Mustafa for almost ten years now. He educated me, my daughters and my wife. He is a talented teacher and perfect dive instructor. I am so much looking forward to the next dives with him in October. :)
