This diving center is simple but that’s what makes it a little paradise along the beach! Muhammad, Ahmed and Monica will take you diving to amazing places to see anything Marsa Alam can provide, you MUST go to Dolphin house and check the cave dive, mesmerising.

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.

We have chosen Deep South Divers based on the outstanding number of positive reviews shared here. And we must admit they do not lie:) Me and my wife have spent 5 days scuba diving with them and it was perfect experience. The staff is very professional and keeps safety as the first priority. At the same time all divemasters that guided us through our underwater experience were friendly and fun to spend time with. They were very attentive and helped us with setting and putting on gear making our pre-dive preparations very comfortable. They are communicative and their English is on very good level. The gear is overall well maintained. Every day we have dived in a different location - both offshore, zodiac or speedboat. All locations were nice and worth to see. Their prices are transparent and compared to other diving bases I have checked are a bit friendlier. I also appreciate assistance with arranging the airport pick-up. Very responsive and straight to point communication. Bottom line: Next time we dive with them again!

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. :)

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 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.
