When we were looking for a scuba diving institutes in southern Egypt for our certification course, we came across Deep south divers. After contacting them on WhatsApp, they provided all the details and we had an initial intro call with Mr. Heikal(Moody). He explained us everything in detail. During our 4 days course, everything was explained very well by all the instructors. Right from assembly of all units, buddy check to rescue operations, everything was explained in detail and taught us very well. 1st day of training I was little nervous about moving underwater, but Deep south divers team made me comfortable, especially Lara. It was lot of fun and learning about various underwater situations. We did various combinations of dives including beach to beach, boat to beach, boat to boat etc. Learning about navigating underwater was super fun. Thank you Deep South Divers team for these wonderful moments to cherish. Thank you Moody for your patience teaching me underwater techniques and making our family certified in Scuba diving ...Special thanks to Ahmad who looked after and did snorkelling with my lil one while we were learning this meditative sport!

Spent two days with these guys at some awesome sites. Samadai is pretty magical, with a strong chance of swimming with dolphins. Would love to have seen some dugongs but maybe next time. Well looked after by the team and would be happy to return.

My wife and I dove here for a good week. We are both experienced divers. All the staff were very courteous, helpful and accommodating for the dives we wanted to do. They were professional and they loved their job, and what they were doing. A big shout out to the DM's Ramadan and the Mohammed's, so great to dive with you and to get to know you as friends. The house reef is excellent, with a number of dive sites right off shore and even more within a quick zodiac ride. The equipment is of good quality, and the pick up and drop off to our place of stay was well timed with no hassles. The atmosphere at the dive center is very relaxed, with free water, coffee or tea for the asking. We look forward to be able to come back to Marsa Alam and dive with Deep South Diver in the future.
