Thanks a lot to Simona as well! We had a nice chat and our diving course could be postponed for a few days without any problems. The Scuba World Divers team welcomes you with open arms and helps you where they can. Even if you are a little 'scared' to start with a dive course, Hassan will guide you through every step! We had a lot of fun and saw gorgeous corals, fishes and even a big turtle!!! This is actually the BEST dive center of Makadi Bay! Thanks a lot to our captain Hassan for teaching us everything we need to know to be a safe, happy and independent diver. If you don’t want to spend a load of money on photos and have your own phone, camera or go pro (which is similar quality) then avoid the onboard photography.

The only thing that made it uncomfortable was the onboard photographer taking photos and videos without really communicating what he was doing or being upfront about the costs of the packages. The captain made sure we could see all the fish and checked that we were all happy before moving between each spot. The captain and guides were lovely, the time went so fast we were having such a good time. I think you have to pay a deposit on the snorkels and fins too. There’s also a hut half way down the beach to sort things out if you want to pay before you get to the jetty. No issues paying and happy to take any currency (euro, gbp, Le) although the pay station on the main jetty preferred to work in euro. He was very helpful and kind in helping us book and looked after us really well. We booked the half day glass bottomed snorkelling boat trip with Aladin. I have no reservations in recommending this team should you find yourself in the area and want to either revisit your love of diving or a nervous first timer. The dive centre itself is very clean and well maintained. Staff extremely friendly, well trained and with a host of linguistic talent. Boats and equipment very well maintained. Very enjoyable again and a totally professional service. Next day was a twin dive from the boat at another of the local reef.

Lots to see despite the water being a firm 22 degrees. We were off to the end of the house pier to dive the house reef. After a re visit to the basics and making sure no one was likely to kill themselves. Our instructor was top notch, made everyone comfortable, was patient and clear. The following day we met up for the short refresher course prior to the dive. I was issued my own locker for the gear I had brought with me. Upon arrival they were expecting me and most of the usual paperwork had been completed online so we were pretty much good to go. My refresher dive was booked and my follow up dives after. My enquiry was answered quickly and covered every point I asked. I made contact via email a month before my trip from the UK. From the outset they proved to be nothing less than professional all the way. I had the good fortune to dive with this organisation March this year.
