The service at the dive center started off very cold and unsatisfactory. However, the guides then made everything good again. Very experienced and extremely competent. We complained at the end of the vacation (where unfortunately the only nice person from the board staff came) and went home happy after a clarifying conversation. Equipment is ORCA like up to date. Ground staff and boat are extremely attentive and friendly.

Dive guides were, except for one who unfortunately wasn't interested in us at all, all super nice and dedicated.
Unfortunately, the speedboat was not available at the time, which took away some flexibility regarding diving - you could only either stay on the house reef or then go on the boat all day (departure 6.30/7.30 and return around 16.30/17.00). According to the information, we had also hoped to be able to do one or two dives with the speedboat so that we didn't have to be on the boat all day. It would have been good to know that this was not available.

Everything else according to my comment above:
Dive center: the dive center manager was away when we arrived, and her replacement did little to make us feel welcome. We were not given any introduction to how the diving operation works and we had to laboriously ask for everything. We also received little attention during the checkdive when my colleague had problems. However, the crew on the boat was super nice, great atmosphere, we felt very comfortable. We gave the leader our feedback directly when she came back (unfortunately on our last day). Basically a good dive center, but our first impression was unfortunately very unfortunate.
Dive sites: to be honest, we had hoped for a bit more based on the descriptions we had read. The water was extremely warm at 31/32 degrees, maybe it was also too hot for the fish :) What we saw was nice, but not necessarily that we would want to go there again.

Super hard-working base that tries to make everything possible. The boat trips were great, the house reef was a bit poor in fish - at least in April. Nevertheless, a very nice reef.

The dive center is well organized and the helpers are very helpful and attentive.

- dive sites were done by agreement, most were beautiful but there were some with lots of dead coral
- some of the dive guides seemed to lack motivation to dive and help find marine life
- mistakes were regularly made in the planning of house reefs/night dives so that equipment was not transported to the hotel. You would expect a system for this by now.
-Our boat was fully booked which was just fine in terms of space, she had very little draft so at the slightest wind you were wobbling like in a storm
- had borrowed a bcd but it was already broken after 1 dive, air just ran out, that has been replaced

The diving center (Orca Dive Clubs) offers varied opportunities for diving. Both dives on the house reef (every hour) and day trips by boat are possible.

We didn't rent any equipment, just air and lead. But the center and service were perfect for us. Not too massive, convivial and friendly. We had a package of 10 house reef dives. The house reef is beautiful and we certainly had a good time there every dive.

We also booked 1 day of boat dives to the sites sataya and malahi, which were also really beautiful and highly recommended.

My last dive there was my 200th dive, and when I asked if I could rent or borrow a slate, the instructor gave it to me and an autographed t-shirt as a gift. Very nice!

A checkdive was necessary prior to the boat dives. The boat dives were booked but no reservations were made on the boat itself.That meant we could only get on the boat 1 day later. This could have been better coordinated in advance

Very nice house reef where you can spend some days just fine. Dive base has a fine boat. Trips to fury shoals are wonderful. What a coral! At the dive center, they could be more customer oriented to non-German guests. but it was Ramadan, so I don't know if that had an impact.
