I completed my PADI Open Water Diver course at Nemo Diving Center in Hurghada, and it was an amazing first diving experience. I had never dived before, but thanks to the personal guidance and customized training, I immediately felt safe and comfortable. The instructors are professional, patient, and very friendly, which creates a relaxed and social atmosphere. This makes the price-quality ratio excellent and the learning experience really enjoyable. My first dives in the Red Sea were unforgettable. I will definitely return to Dive Nemo in Hurghada to do my Advanced Open Water Diver course. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional and personal dive center in Hurghada!

I spent my PADI Open Water Diver with Ahmed during my last stay in Egypt and it was an amazing experience! Very pedagogical, patient and passionate, he explains each step with clarity and immediately puts confidence. The exercises are well guided, safety always comes first, and all in a relaxed and friendly Mood. Thanks to him, I was able to fully enjoy the magnificent dives in the Red Sea while learning in the best conditions. Many thanks for this quality training and this good communicative mood!
