What can I say...for me one of the best bases in Egypt. 30 seconds walk to the house reef! The bay is a good enough dive site for 3 weeks. If you want, you can go on a boat or jeep tour. We have never missed them. The entire staff is always friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

The base is top-notch and certainly one of the best in Egypt. The backstaff is always on hand with a helping hand. Thank you Ahmed, Hamdi, Fared and Fathi! The guides are happy to give tips, even if you are diving unguided. The base management makes sure that the usual rules are followed and that's a good thing. Tom, Sonja and Susi are always in a good mood and happy to help at any time. Thank you all and see you soon!

One of the best dive centers on the red sea. Been to Egypt and various other countries and seas 26 times so far. Have over 1300 TGs. The Orca Dive Club Coral Garden is just great. Rules and standards are kept here and that is good! We have been there 4 times now and will go for the 5th time in September. We are looking forward like hell!

Beautiful house reef, despite many dives each time a surprise, small school of batfish and 7 hunting lionfish were highlights

Too bad that some things were not explained clearly (or sometimes differently...): e.g. the early morning dive. Initially they said in the dive center that you had to sign up if you wanted to dive early; afterwards they said that I was not allowed to dive at 06:30 and that the early morning dive was at 06:00... Another example: if you wanted to make a day trip with a boat it was 40 euros, 2 dives included. Afterwards it turns out that the 40 euros was for everything except the dives; these had to be paid separately.
As a single diver, they tried hard to get me to join their planned dives (they would earn 5 euros each time) instead of letting me know who was also a single diver...
Staff was very friendly though.

We have done over 700 or 800 dives around the world in salt water and have been very happy with the dive spot. From the end of October for 11 nights. Water 26 degrees.We did not use a boat and did not dive in neighboring bays. Nice varied bay with schooling fish, the usual "suspects" from the Red Sea. After Checkdive Easy Diving without currents worth mentioning. No problem for single travellers looking for buddies. Sandy areas with sea grass and canyons, coral blocks and many different hard and soft corals. No big fishes. Seahorse, winged rockfish and various shrimp for macro. 3 big barracudas, octopus and turtles have their home in the bay. Entrance from the beach. Very short ways to the dive center. After the first dive the jacket can be attached to the next tank immediately. Nitrox was mostly 31%. We do not use early morning dive, once nightlife.
