Comments	I have been coming here since 2010 and love the place. The dive centre arranges transfers and is also a hotel with pool, bars, restaurants and roof terrace. The customer service is outstanding and all runs smoothly. Your kit goes into an assigned box which is moved onto whichever boat you are on each day. Dives are via day boats and it is possible to do up to 3 dives a day. The boats are very comfortable with toilets, showers and areas to relax in the shade or sun. Dive decks are spacious and have rinse tanks for cameras etc. The hotel is also very comfortable with ensuite rooms, safe, fridge, free WiFi and a tv (although I never turned it on!). I love the diving in the Red Sea as you get a really good variety of corals and marine life. Sightings for us included eagle rays, turtles, reef shark, huge schools of snappers, unicorn fish, tuna, morays, nudibranchs, octopus, squid, pufferfish, rays and much, much more! Always worth keeping an eye out on the blue as well as you never know what may drift by! I managed to fit in 14 dives on various local dive sites as well as sites around Tiran and Ras Mohammed National Park. There was quite a bit of current around some of the sites but hardly any at all on other sites and dives are tailored to the abilities of the groups accordingly. You can also arrange to snorkel from the boat.
