Nervous beginner gets incredible life experience

I got PADI certification from Pirates Dive Club. I was a nervous absolute beginner and believe me the whole things is a bit intimidating at first, but I completed the PADI Open Water course and then arranged a few additional dives. The ocean dives were a really incredible life experience (that everyone should have, try it!!)with very clear warm water and a lot of fish. The Pirates instructors I was with were very experienced (10 000+ dives), and created a calm and reassuring bond with me before the dives as I was quite nervous (…ok, actually trembling at first haha), and they really helped with that. I can highly recommend the club instructors if you are apprehensive or a bit nervous. They also had backup staff like Mohammed at the dive site to help with kit and carrying. My wife didn't dive but came with us and had an interesting and comfortable time on shore, Mohammed was always around, and there is lots of options for food, views, relaxing, chatting (there is opportunity for really great snorkelling too). The theory and preparation is at the Dive Club by Falcon Hills Hotel. Pirates Dive Club arranged transfer from my hotel by staff member Kalousha and I really enjoyed his company and the drive. Club co-manager Moody sorted out all the paperwork despite a few obstacles so that I am now an internationally registered PADI diver. I've since joined a club in the UK and am going back to Egypt to dive with these guys again.

Trust, safety and excellence

From the beginning they generated a lot of security and confidence to put my life in their hands! I am very clear when they talk about their prices and what they include (which is not the case) All the staff are great, friendly, helpful and above all make sure you are enjoying your certification to the fullest. Thank you very much moody, Adri and mohamed

The best of the best!

It is certainly the best place to get certified and do diving activities. The whole team is too friendly and willing to help you in everything. Certification would not have been possible without our instructor, who explains the times it is necessary and has infinite patience. Thank you Pirates Dive Club for helping us make our dream come true. If there are 10 stars we would definitely place them! Super recommendedsssssss

Operator response

Moody was a great teacher, patient and understanding. Moreover, these explanations were always very clear and questions were always appreciated and answered clearly. I would definitely come back with my friends to do dives and I strongly advise him to take his PADI!
