As we mainly wanted to relax after the week of liveaboard diving, we limited ourselves to mostly guided dives on the house reef, mostly from the jetty, sometimes also with a zodiac. The house reef offers a lot, although this reef has also suffered greatly. We visited one of the dive sites 3 years ago from the Mövenpick El Quseir (with the dive center Extra Divers). It looked a lot more colorful then. Our highlights were undoubtedly the encounters with the bottlenose dolphins during the check dive on the first day (from a distance) and then very close and long while diving in the early morning on September 1st. But we also had other great encounters with turtles, octopus, moray eels, mackerel, lionfish and scorpionfish.

The dive centre is very well organized and the staff and owners are extremely friendly, competent and helpful.

The dive center is perfectly organized and staffed in several languages. A lot has been invested in the dive center for the comfort of the divers. It couldn't be better.
We didn't like the way the air conditioning was installed in the hotel, it pulled onto the beds and was loud. Otherwise, we liked the hotel and the diving center very much. We will be back.

Dive center: as always absolutely helpful, relaxed and friendly
Dive sites: yes, coral bleaching is visible but in contrast to other sites within reasonable limits.
Boat equipment: basically ok. There are a few points you need to know. Mooring mats are not completely clean and seams are open... Otherwise ok so far
Boat in general: very helpful crew. Thank you! Food good ; )

The diving is very relaxed. A super house reef where you can decide in the morning whether you want to go diving directly from the jetty or take a small boat to visit dive sites nearby. Only day trips with the diving boat have to be booked the day before. Of course, various diving courses can also be booked.

Very pleasant, friendly and uncomplicated service. Wishes are catered for. Good rental equipment, also for teenagers. We booked the basic course for two teenagers in advance. The training was great in all respects. The house reef and the surrounding area are very beautiful, intact corals, small schools of fish from time to time, and we actually saw turtles, an eagle ray and a small blacktip reef shark.
A diving center that can be highly recommended. We would come again any time!
Many thanks to the team at Ducks Diving El Quesir

Old dive center, everything available that you apparently need. However, due to the desolate impression of the hotel, I would not want to dive here again.
The large boat is not deep enough in the water. As a result, it rocks from dive site to dive site. The discharge of oil via the cooling water is no longer timely. The toilet flushes directly overboard into the sea. No collection tank, incredibly primitive. The deck of the boat was not even hosed down within 7 days, which is why it was not only dirty but also encouraged accidents.
was dirty, it also encouraged accidents.

Good, family-run dive center. It's a pity that the resort has deteriorated in recent years and that guests are definitely staying away.

The dive center was very professionally run. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The house reef offers many varied possibilities. The excursions are done on a nice clean excursion boat with nice helpful crew.

One of the best dive centers I know!
Great team and fantastic house reef. Everything is very relaxed and informal. Always great conversations with the guides and divers... very personal and friendly. The infrastructure is a bit outdated but totally adequate. We always like to go diving with the Ducks Queseir!!!

if diving is in the foreground, then this is exactly the right place. Dive site is the highlight, the dive center very well organized and the staff great helpful. Everything is offered what the heart desires, diving from the jetty, boat and zodiac. Night diving currently legally not possible, which was a pity.
with the dive guides an agreement about the dive speed can be helpful. my dive guide (Mohammed?) wanted to show as much as possible in as short a time as possible. this can sometimes be exhausting but there is also the chance to explore the dive site again yourself. The staff is very supportive and concerned about the well being of the divers.

Hallo liebe Frau Degen! Herzlichen Dank dafür, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, und uns umfassend über die Tauchbasis und über das Hotel berichtet haben. Es freut mich aufrichtig, dass Sie einen Urlaub in Ihrem Sinne erleben durften. Liebe Grüße aus dem sonnigen Kärnten, Daniela

Hallo Nadja! Vielen lieben Dank für deine Info über die Tauchbasis und das Hotel. Es freut mich aufrichtig, dass ihr eine super Zeit hattet! Ich wünsche dir, dass du noch lange von dem Urlaub zehren kannst! Alles Liebe ins Ländle, Daniela

The dive center is great for our needs.
We love early morning dives and generally spontaneous decisions when we want to dive. To our knowledge this is the only dive center in Egypt where this is possible.

The dive center, which is managed by two generations with heart and soul, allowed very relaxed dives. The dive sites, even only on the house reef allow great discoveries (huge stone fish, winged ostrich, walkmens, and much more!) A very great crew was very helpful to us, because Peter had knee problems. Many thanks to all!

The dive center and the entire team are excellent and we can only advertise it! Almost no wish remains unfulfilled and you feel well taken care of from the first minute. Even if you want to explore the great house reef independently, you get very good information about it or can also explore this with a guide. This is very well possible from the beach as well as with the Zodiak.
Thank you for the wonderful experiences...we will be happy to come back! Steffi and Markus

Despite a lot of wind we had impressive TG, both on the house reef, as well as with the zodiac on the outer reef. All staff are helpful, courteous and always with a smile! If you have any questions they always help! Gladly again....

(Automatically translated from German)

Wonderful house reef which can be dived without a guide without any problems. In case of problems or questions, the entire crew is very helpful.
Since we only used the zodiac for one way dives we can only give information about it, it was in perfect condition.

pleasant familiar athmosphere. they do their best to fulfill your wishes (only as a single diver in the morning before 9:30 to get into the water is hardly possible)

Boats can not be judged because always house reef diving was announced
very helpful staff

(Automatically translated from German)

The dive center is also in need of renovation in some parts, but this is also tolerable due to the nice care throughout. Unfortunately, the rinse & shower facilities after diving are very limited and often overloaded as well as dirty - here would be a first need for action. Many guests leave their diving equipment (BCD/breathing regulator) in open boxes on the jetty in the blazing sun. The drying facilities for the suits are sometimes heavily used. There is no disinfectant or detergent available to rinse the suits.
For the dives, emphasis is placed on keeping track of the dive and the nitrox log.
The dinghies are available from morning until before sunset, these seem to be properly maintained.
The staff are eager to help the guests - sometimes they are not very squeamish with the equipment. But also here, a high friendliness is noticeable.
Especially to mention is that as a guest it is even possible to get into the water within an hour on the same day - this sets the base apart from others.
Also the house reef is for the most part in an above average condition. It offers numerous diving possibilities for different demands and can be recommended without reservation for all certification levels.
All in all, the stay was pleasant and relaxing.

the house reef diving is super easy and the reason we were back. It's great how it works when you go out with the zodiac and dive back or get picked up again.
The team is very nice and helpful

(Automatically translated from German)

The dive center is a very warmly run family business and you notice that immediately. No mass dispatch, longtime employees, simply a very friendly and helpful team. Everything was shown and explained to us and after an orientation dive where you got to know the procedures and the house reef, we could dive independently in the buddy team. The house reef is super nice and varied. We had eagle rays, turtles and once even a group of at least 20 delefin that passed by the house reef. You can dive from the jetty or take the zodiac out. Top dive center, where we were certainly not the last time!
