J'ai effectué deux jours de plongée avec 2 moniteurs différents, tout aussi compétent l'un que l'autre. C'était très professionnel, organisé et fait avec le sourire. Merci pour tout, je recommande sans hésitation ! Ah oui j'oubliais ... Les fonds sont superbes !!!

Super zespół, wszystko na czas i zgodnie z ustaleniami. Wraz z 13 letnim synem zrobiliśmy z Deep South Divers kilkanaście nurkowań i jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni. Kompetentni i uśmiechnięci instruktorzy służący zawsze radą i pomocą, piękne spoty do nurkowania, czego chcieć więcej? Pozdrowienie dla Moniki, Cheetosa i Synka :) Polecamy wszystkim i na pewno tu jeszcze nie raz wrócimy :)

Mieliśmy przyjemność nurkować z Deep South Divers, nasze dzieci przeszły kurs OWD w tym centrum nurkowym. Wielki szacunek za podejście instruktorów do dzieci, za pokazanie nam cudownych raf i w pełni profesjonalne podejście na każdym etapie nurkowania. Zdecydowanie polecamy to centrum zarówno w zakresie podnoszenia kompetencji jak i nurkowania dla przyjemności!

We just spend 4 days diving with Deep South Divers and we had a blast. They are a very professional group with fun instructors and guides. We did a deep diver course with them and we are super glad we did. Thank you Moudy for showing us what lies beyond 30 meters! 😍

Pełen profesjonalizm i przede wszystkim przemiła atmosfera ❤️ Robiliśmy kurs OWD, prowadzony przez Monikę i Mohameda - wszystko po polsku, wszystko świetnie wytłumaczone i pokazane, przekazany ogrom wiedzy 👌 Z Moniką doskonały kontakt przez WhatsApp, od razu odpisywała i rozwiewała wszystkie wątpliwości. Zresztą - ogólnie Monia jest przecudowna, zaraża entuzjazmem i od razu widać, że ma naprawdę ogromną wiedzę, którą z pasją przekazuje. Polecajki z całego serca! ❤️

My recent diving experience with Deep South Divers was nothing short of incredible. From the moment I stepped into their center, I felt welcomed and cared for. The staff's knowledge and enthusiasm were infectious, making even the most nervous divers feel at ease.The dive sites they took us to were absolutely breathtaking. They choose the sites having the top priority giving the best experience to the divers. The guides were not only skilled professionals but also passionate about sharing their love of the underwater world. They pointed out hidden treasures and ensured our safety throughout the dives. I totally recommend diving with Moudy as he is very confident and makes you feel safe and like it's a piece of cake!The equipment provided was top-notch, and the center's commitment to safety was evident in their thorough pre-dive checks and procedures. I felt completely confident and secure in their hands.Beyond the diving itself, the overall experience was fantastic. The team at Deep South Divers created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making it easy to unwind and fully immerse yourself in the underwater adventure. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable and professional diving experience. I will definitely continue the Advance Open Water certificate with them. :)

Amazing experience, the diving in the marsa alam area is exquisite and even better when you dive with a group of divers who are highly professional, friendly, cater to the specific need of each diver and most important love what they do. I dived with Mohamed, an experienced instructor using a sidemount and an old Hassan (not that old, but he is the old Hassan since there are 3 more young Hassans). Definitely try diving in elphinstone reef, it's some of the most healthy coral in the red sea. Thank you so much Deep South divers! Highly recommended!

Had a wonderful experience with mudi and team. Our sun achieved his SSI junio open water with the Deep South divers and on top we were able to swim with dolphins. Definitely recommend them for their expertise and experience of the area.

Amazing place, they offered a fantastic range of dives for all experiences, we're incredibly knowledgeable and we felt very safe and comfortable with them. Really really nice people too!

Please contact us with your desired level, and we will send you a detailed quote that includes equipment rental and training trips. As a premier Marsa Alam diving center, we ensure transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

How long does each diving course take?

The duration depends on the specific course complexity:

  • Open Water: 3 days.

  • Advanced Open Water: 2 days.

  • Rescue Diver: 3–4 days.

  • Divemaster: 2 to 6 weeks, depending on your schedule. We structure our courses to ensure you get the most out of your Marsa Alam diving experience.

What is a "Refresh Course," and do I need one?

A Refresh Course is designed for certified divers who haven't dived for a long period. It is essential to restore your confidence and update your skills before returning to the open sea. We review buoyancy, regulator clearing, and emergency procedures to ensure you are completely comfortable underwater.

don't have a license. Can I still try diving? (Intro Dive)

Absolutely! Our "Intro Dive" is perfect for beginners who want to experience Marsa Alam diving without a certification. You will dive one-on-one with a professional instructor to a depth of 6–10 meters, ensuring a safe and memorable first experience.

Is there a chance to see dolphins?

While dolphin sightings are 100% natural and cannot be guaranteed, our dive sites are well-known for their frequent appearance. Many guests at Deep South Divers enjoy magical encounters with dolphins during our daily trips.

Is it possible to see the famous Dugong (Sea Cow)?

The Dugong is rare, but Marsa Alam diving offers some of the highest chances in the Red Sea to spot them. We regularly organize trips to specific sites where Dugongs are known to reside.

Will we see sea turtles?

Yes! The probability of seeing turtles is very high, especially at the popular dive sites we visit in Marsa Alam.

Are there sharks, and are they dangerous?

The Red Sea is home to various shark species, such as the Oceanic Whitetip and Hammerhead. These are generally peaceful creatures and are not considered dangerous to divers. Seeing them is often the highlight of a trip for many divers.

What are the timings for the daily trips?

We usually depart between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM, depending on the dive site location, and return in the afternoon (typically between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM). Exact timings are confirmed the day before your trip.

Is lunch included in the boat trips?

Yes, a freshly prepared lunch and soft drinks are included in the price of most of our boat trips, allowing you to relax and refuel between dives.

Do you offer accommodation?

Yes, Deep South Divers can arrange accommodation for you. We offer stays inside the hotel or in nearby guest houses at special rates for our divers.
