Dived with RSDC 22 years ago when my wife and I were new to diving, we were massively impressed all those years ago but that could have been as we hadn’t been anywhere else in the world to compare.
Since then we have literally travelled the world diving many many many great experiences and a few terrible ones.
This year totally depressed with the UK weather we decided to do a last minute to the Red Sea (for the 5th time) and decided on Sharm. Geographically our hotel was a long way from Naama Bay so I didn’t consider RSDC as I thought they were too far away and in any case would be too expensive to get a taxi each day. I posted on a Sharm tourist site for recommendations for diving centres and low and behold RSDC messaged me personally confirming they would pick us up and drop us back each day and offered us very reasonably priced daily diving.
They picked us up at our hotel on day one, exactly as they had said and transported us to their dive centre which we hadn’t seen for 22 years. Now about to undergo renovation it was as we remembered it although Naama bay has been changed beyond recognition.
My wife and I undertook a total of 16 dives with RSDC during the week and were very pleased that their ethos of safe diving has not changed, the staff were lovely, the company very professional, the guides very experienced,the boat very suitable and adapted for diving (not all boats suit diving - trust me we have dived off some shockers). During our dives we saw Sharks, Turtles, Giant Grouper……., the list goes on.
Hannah our guide for the week was a pleasure to dive with, she allowed the more experienced to within reason do their own thing, whilst closely monitoring those that were not so competent. Regardless of your level of experience these guys will adapt your diving to suit. Some of the wall dives are 2000m bottom depth, so no one is going to be ‘tethered’ to newbies flapping about at 10m - that’s not a criticism we’ve all been there.
We loved every single dive with these guys and the boat crew who amongst the best we’ve dived with.
I cannot recommend Red Sea Diving College enough - I’m trying to get my daughter to do her OW and I will if she agrees, bring her to RSDC to do her course, that’s how highly I trust them.
Red Sea Diving College have been around for a very long time and that’s for a reason
Thank you so much again
