Scuba diving tour
Highly recommend this if you’ve never tried scuba diving or in Sharm. We went with Khaled who was the absolute best. Attentive, professional and just a great person. The Bella 3 ship was super comfortable and plenty food and drinks were available. Would definitely do this again.

Memories for life!
Dear Pyramids Diving Center Team,
I would like to thank you once again for all incredible experiences.
From the very first conversations, when I was seeking advice on dive sites and the best options for both myself and my family, your team was outstanding. Everyone was friendly, responsive and genuinely interested in helping us make the most of our time in Sharm El Sheikh.
As a diver with more than 20 years of experience and dives around the world, I can honestly say that this was the first dive center where I saw such a strong focus on safety and proper diver assessment. I truly appreciated the way you carefully reviewed divers' backgrounds and experience levels, ensuring not only the safety of your guests but also that of your staff. Thank you for maintaining such high standards. Diving is one of life's greatest pleasures, but returning safely from every dive should always be the top priority.
During my stay, I completed several dives with your team, including a shore dive, the famous SS Thistlegorm wreck (both outside and inside the wreck), and Yolanda Reef. My dives were guided by Mohamed Abd Elkarim and I would like to give him a special thank you. Not 5 starts, but perhaps 10 starts! Mohamed was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, attentive and safety-focused throughout every dive.
I don't need to spend much time describing the quality of the diving itself because the Red Sea is already world-famous for its stunning reefs, marine life, and wrecks. Instead, I want to highlight the people behind the operation. Great dive sites are important, but great people are what make an experience truly memorable. The entire team worked hard every day to ensure that everyone felt welcome, safe, and well taken care of.
To finish our trip, my family and I enjoyed a private sunset cruise and dinner to celebrate a very special family milestone. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable holiday. Beyond the wonderful memories we created, you also gave us something even more valuable: the excitement and desire to return to the Red Sea.
Maria, Mohamed, and Bassam (aka Sam), thank you for everything. The Azevedo family hopes to see you again soon. When we return to Sharm El Sheikh, we know exactly which dive center we'll be coming back to.
Take care and see you soon!
Paulo Azevedo
Operator response
Dear Paulo,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. Your kind words truly mean a lot to our entire team.
It was a real pleasure welcoming you and your family, and we're honored that, with your many years of diving experience around the world, you appreciated our commitment to safety and personalized service. Creating unforgettable experiences while maintaining the highest safety standards is exactly what we strive for.
A very special thank you for your wonderful comments about Mohamed Abd Elkarim. We'll be sure to share your "10-star" compliment with him! He'll be delighted to know he made such a positive impact on your dives. We'll also pass your kind words on to Bassam and the rest of the team.
We're so happy that your private sunset cruise was the perfect way to celebrate your family's special milestone and that we could be part of those lifelong memories.
Thank you once again for choosing Pyramids Diving Center. It was a privilege to dive with the Azevedo family, and we can't wait to welcome you back for your next Red Sea adventure.
See you again soon!
