The house reef has very beautiful corals and an active flora & fauna and can be dived several times,
The day boat trips to Salem, Stab Sheer, Panorama Reef or Middle Reef can be reached in 60'-90 minutes. Especially the wrecks on Shaab Seher, Salem or the drop-off on Abu Kafan as well as the Panorama Reef were mega! But such long boat trips every day are also very tough in the heat.
They cook very well on the boats and make sure that the stay is very pleasant.
The dive center and the dive guides are good. As a budding diver, you learn a lot because you have to do everything yourself and it's quite a crowded place.

The dive center is excellent. The operation associated with the size of the base is organized very well, competently and always friendly and helpful.

Free water along with tea and coffee would be desirable when booking a dive boat for the whole day.

Everything is so good that my wife and I will come back to this place.
Suggestion for improvement: organization of the dive boxes is not optimal (wet wetsuits make the box contents wet). I would also hang a clock in the meeting area.

That was great again.
We'll be there again next time.

The dive center was a great recommendation!
However, a few individual guides were unfocused and did not do a good and courteous job.

(Automatically translated from German)

TOP dive center, we feel we are in very good hands all round.
The staff are TOP, the service is just right. It is always a pleasure to dive there.

As always, a super organized TB. Helpful and nice guides. Great support at all TGs. We had a lot of support again at this year's dive medical workshop.
Very nice house reef with still intact underwater world.

BUT otherwise all good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well-run dive centre, well organized, good equipment, boats are top clean and well maintained (food excellent!);
I find the system with the guides strange, you have to book and pay separately, I didn't know this before.
Reefs are beautiful, corals intact, no garbage; but from my point of view there is little "special" to see. Moray eels, lionfish and blue spotted rays are the highlights and twice a turtle, at least.

Well-organized dive centre with always approachable staff.
I found the checkdive for guests who had just come from a safari superfluous, but that's the rules.

There is already a lot going on and you need something to get your bearings. If you are unsure, you should book a private guide. Then of course it is individual. You have a guide - not a teacher. You have to be aware of that. They are all very nice and helpful. We had great dives and were very satisfied.
Some of the rental equipment could be replaced (e.g. wetsuit)

The dive center is excellently organized. But this is absolutely essential when it comes to mass processing. There are an estimated 60 - 80 divers at the base at the usual times. Of course, this also means that the house reef is always busy (even if groups are out on a day trip, half-day trip or Zodiac excursion at the same time).
We went on a half-day excursion, which I only enjoyed moderately.
The Zodiac excursions, on the other hand, were very good (if the right guide is there and knows exactly where to go into the water).
I personally didn't like the highly praised house reef. In 10 days I didn't see a single soft coral or nudibranch.
Huge areas of stony corals are a single pile of rubble. Only in the shallow water up to 5m was life pulsating.
I have to say, however, that divers dived with dolphins during the early morning dive.
Perhaps my assessment is also due to the fact that I am too spoiled from earlier times.

A great diving center with everything you need, top guides and instructors and excellent service. The dive sites were all very good and the boats were well equipped. Absolutely recommendable! We will be back in the spring.

We only did a few dives on the house reef. The dive center is very commercially oriented.

(Automatically translated from German)

What to mention about the dive center would be that the touchgides, who are employed there as freelancers, might also be somewhat informed about the dive center, not that afterwards the guests must still get all the relevant information (eg booking boat dives, types of boat dives, finding for day trips in the base, types of excursions, etc.). We had in the group JOWD guys who still had less than 20TH, they felt besides the lack of info, not really well picked up.
Otherwise, the staff of Orca Dive Center were very friendly, attentive and helpful.

Great school. For the continuation of our education (father-son) everything just fit. We will come again.

Still a very good base. One takes care.
Everything is very well organized, even when it is busy.
The house reef is a pleasure at any time of day.
Unfortunately, often well visited by foreign diving ships, has gotten around.

Fly there for 10 years, just mega beautiful here.
Even if you know the dive sites - you always experience something new.

This diving club is really top-notch: ideally located right in front of a magnificent coral reef, it offers very safe services, excellent equipment, a very efficient organization and all the people working there are very smiling and friendly. The dive masters and instructors are highly professional, and everything is pleasant and of the highest quality. We'll be going back with our eyes closed.
Last but not least, the dive sites they offer are simply breathtaking.

The ORCA dive center is independent, but virtually integrated into the building complex of the Breakers, so that the distances are very short. In my opinion, the dive center is quite generously designed and guides and crew were also very accommodating there. In addition to the house reef diving, many half (1 dive) and full day tours (2 dives) with the ship are offered; full day tours with very tasty catering. Also there you can easily do 4 dives per day with early morning diving and night diving, at the house reef even more. For boat trips the guests are driven to the marina by minibus. Also the approx. 400 m long way over the jetty to the house reef is overcome with "golf carts". On average we had to pay about 50 EUR per dive including all additional costs (often guide, etc., without rental equipment). Last but not least the ORCA offers a well equipped store for diving equipment. Also repairs can be done. Rental equipment is available in large numbers and in good condition. The WIFI of the Breaker unfortunately does not reach the dive center.

Well organized dive center. For every problem they have a solution.
For experienced divers top. You can dive the house reef alone as much as you want.

(Automatically translated from German)

We were received very friendly at the base. The base is well laid out and well organized.

(Automatically translated from German)

Located on the grounds of The Breakers, friendliness, helpfulness and the feeling of being at the second home runs through from the Breakers to Orca. Multilingual guides and instructors, very well equipped and also very good technical service. VDST partner, wide range of training possibilities. We feel in good hands when we are there.

Dive center: the check-in was bad. We were greeted unfriendly, I had to make a doctor's certificate because of prescription drugs that I take (well that's probably just the guidelines

(Automatically translated from German)

Also, no wishes remained unfulfilled and we can well imagine this hotel and this dive center to visit again.

(Automatically translated from German)

Very well organized base! Also certain special requests were met. Guides for the most part very hardworking, especially good was Hamaad! The house reef is very nice!

(Automatically translated from German)

Boats I can not judge because we were only on the house reef, the trips over the jetty with the small electric vehicles was great.
Super great base, everything top organized.

A base where everyone feels comfortable, from beginners to experienced divers.
Uncomplicated, always helpful - from the first moment a pleasure to be back and enjoy the dive sites.

had a really exceptional French-speaking guide. we had asked for it before leaving. we were very satisfied

(Automatically translated from French)

Cleanly run dive center that can fulfill every wish.
With the guides it depends very much on which one just gets assigned.
The management here is also top.
Unfortunately an SSI base instead of a PADI solution...

OWD diving license and Advanced made. Super team and best instructor ever. I can recommend the dive center without reservation.

(Automatically translated from German)

A big praise to the dive center, we were immediately in the middle of it. The MA in the store are always in a good mood and helpful despite permanent stress, the guys at the base incredibly committed, helpful and eager. We felt well looked after all around and the diving was made so comfortable for us that it will be hard to top that.

(Automatically translated from German)

The staff was very competent, very helpful and our courses were always offered in English and German. The boats were guided in an exemplary manner and the dive sites were also very beautifully selected. The diving on the Salem Express will probably remain in our memory forever.
