“Thank you Mahmoud and the crew! We had a wonderful diving experience with a diving instructor Mahmoud! I went diving twice and really enjoyed it. I saw a lot of fish and beautiful corals. I’ve never seen so many beautiful flocks of fish all different colors and sizes. Some of them were about a meter long. I went diving in Turkey and the Crimea but this one was the best in my life!” - Reviewed on 2025-02-04

Recommended to have that experience for the first time!” - Reviewed on 2025-02-08
