5.00I completed my open water course whilst staying in sharm el sheikh. I used pyramid to do this and my instructor Rahma was amazing! We completed the course and I had couldn't think of anyone else I would rather do my advanced course with, so she also did this with me and now i have my diving certificate ❤️ I completed the second day of my advanced course on the premium private boat with my family and it was such a good day and really good value for money. I will be back diving with pyramid and Rahma next time I am here 🤗

5.00My boyfriend and I took the advanced open water course with this organization and we had a fantastic time! From the incredibly fast assistance in Italian thanks to Sabrina to the two days of advanced open water with our instructor Julian! He was truly excellent and always showed kindness and willingness to answer my countless questions, in addition to being very good at explaining! A truly amazing course, and I recommend it to anyone 😊
Magical experience

5.00Absoluely fantastic- Cannot recommend this exact dive centre highly enough.! Mohammad Basyony was my diving instructor and was above excellent. As a female solo traveller- (45) my kids are grown up I decided to do stuff- diving on the list and I wish I had done it years ago. I was a bit apprehensive before I got there but from start to finish you are made to feel so welcome and relaxed. You are picked up at your hotel - i was pretty close at Dreams Beach Resort but i know there were others from other hotels as well. Each instructor seems to only take a maximum of 3 people each so there's no big groups ever ( i was lucky to have one to one training) everything is explained and demonstrated so well and if you have any questions no matter how trivial it's never a problem. You never feel rushed or pressured to do anything quickly - it's all at your own pace and if you're not sure about anything- it's all about safety comfortability and fun ! Like I say anyone wishing to do anything diving related come to sharm el sheik and book with the pyramid dive centre, I'll be back next month to do the advanced course it was so good. It's definitely going to be my new obsession/hobby. Brilliant brilliant 👏 ❤️❤️❤️
Very good

5.00I just finished the Advanced OWD @Pyramids. The dive trips were great, some remarkable — at least for me. Shams instructed our small group perfectly, speaks English and German, and is really fun to dive with. His skills are beyond question. In short: apart from a bumpy start, I enjoyed the trips with you guys a lot! Clear recommendation from me!
