Great dive center within walking distance of Shams Alam hotel. Ask for a room on the side of the dive center. Saves in distance walking. Well organized dive base, sympathetic team, knowledgeable. We dived with nitrox (extra charge). Bottles were prepared for the next day after the diving day.
Good house reef with 6 different possibilities, partly with zodiac. Also interesting for snorkelers. Boat diving: At short sailing distance many dive sites available, so boat was usually back between 2 and 3, after 2 dives. Beautiful reefs. Manatee in the bay, unfortunately not seen by us, only from the boat. Only dive base in this area, so we were usually alone at a reef, except for the occasional safari boat. Possibility to dive with a guide, but with enough experience you can also dive without a guide. Fine boats with sundeck. Helpful crew. With repeated days of boat diving, your gear stays on board. If you dive from the shore, you can hang your stuff to dry and put the small stuff in a crate in a locker. Do bring your own locker. A number padlock is the most convenient, so you do not have a key that can get lost. We would definitely come back here for the dive base and reefs.
