We went twice to the Samadai dolphin house: saw many dolphins snorkeling first, then did two beautiful dives in the reef. Ramadan was the best guide ever! We first did a refreshing dive with him. He’s very nice and professional, made us feel very comfortable the whole time.

2 weeks diving with them and this place is INCREDIBLE!!! Very knowledgeable, professional, and punctual. They gave better prices than anyone in the area and the level of instruction was fantastic. Rami was my same instructor the whole time and the owners, Moodi and Montana, took care to set me up with everything I needed from rides, food, hotels, and even took me out to dinner with Monica (resident Polish Instructor!) Moodi even gave me a ride back to Cairo. I can not recommend this place enough, whether it be Open-Water, Rescue, Elphinstone, or general day-dives. I will be coming back and bringing family. MESA-MESA HABIBIES!!!

Great dive centre, with lots of different dive sites accessible from shore or boat. Friendly staff, who try hard to accommodate your wishes.Located right on the beach, near a great restaurant and cafe, plus over the road (5 minutes walk) is the Deep South Eco Lodge, which makes a perfect match - of affordable, good accommodation (with amazing meals!), diving and eating and relaxation, as well as a easily accessible reef nearby to snorkel on when not diving.It is quite a way (15 minutes drive) from Marsa Alam town centre so remote, but this is its beauty and makes for a very chilled base. Some people do travel (& get collected) from their other hotels etc if not staying over the road at the EcoLodge. Enjoy!
