I have been diving for over 5 years. I was diving with John Russell while he was certifying a class. After reporting the following things, he is no longer certified with PADI (put in diver number 40957 at http://www.padi.com/scuba/prochek/Default.aspx):
1) Diving in a restricted area. There were plenty of signs that said the bacteria content was too high too swim. He disregarded my comments that it wasn't a place to go diving.
2) Poorly maintained equipment. My secondary was filled with sand and he would not give me a new one. When we got into the water, I found that my primary had a leak which allowed water to get into my mouth with every breath. I had to leave the group to change it out.
3) Did not meet certification requirements. The maximum depth that the class went was only 12 f...
Amazing dive spots and super staff! Everyone is just so friendly and know the local dive area! Highly recommended!
You will love the folks at Gigglin' Marlin Dive & Swim. They rock!
A group of friends and I have been recently on the Carlton Queen.
Impression: Although the boat was apparently renovated, there is still some work on it. Ok, boats in EGY do not have an easy live due to wind and seaconditions, but anyway (doors which could not be closed as the wood had been widened by water, shower not working, toilets not really working, cockroaches, bulleyes which were not properly sealed so that one mattrass was completely soaked...). Food is ok, but not special, and some of teh group had stomach problems and the Pharao's desease...Crew is very good and captain highly qualified and very keen on safety and security with lots of experience! Oxygen for medical issues on board and connected.
Nitrox NOT free, has to be requested and paid for.
Cabins ok with storage room ...
The trip on snefro pearl is an exelent trip. Very good diving, good guides, very good service.
Please if you are serious about becoming a scuba diver and want to know how to do it right and have fun don't waste you money with these clowns 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
amazing place, people are profesionnals and friendly. the dive center is clean and the equiptment is good quality.
We had the most amazing experience in my entire life. I was pumped up with adrenaline. It was my first time snorkelling and I can barely swim, but... it was amazing! My husband loved it too. Dos ojos was very beautiful. Thank you Chucho for the amazing adventure!
Koox took us snorkelling in Dos ojos and Casa cenote. I can't believe how beautiful these places are. Magnificent colours, both under and above the water. We enjoyed every second of it.
Everything was good, best dive was wreck dives. Also the dive when we saw sharks.
Getting the ideal Dive Experience is a great feeling and few things compare the perfect dive. Having said that, everyone’s definition of a perfect dive greatly varies but one thing that would be useful to any diver is information.
Our reviews allow for users to meaningfully express their diving experience across a series of Dive Sites and a single Dive Shop.
We feel that reviews of various businesses and locations are some of the most valuable benefits that the internet has brought about. There are people that truly deliver a good service and take pride in the work they do and then there are those who are in for the short term profit. It is important to distinguish these businesses and reward the ones who deserve your money.
In the long run, we aim to become a central and objective body that centralizes user generated content and provides an easily usable database of information that will hopefully improve the quality of the industry as a whole and improve the user experience across the board.
