“Simply the best dive school in the World (and it's official!)”

Reviewed June 4, 2013

We have just returned from a fortnight diving and training with RSDC, and can certainly see why RSDC is consistently rated the best dive centre in the World. With guitar sharks, manta rays, and turtles galore (all within the space of a couple of weeks), most divers would be thoroughly smitten - but it's the people, not the fish, that... More

“Excellent first diving experience”

Reviewed May 23, 2013

A friend and I booked the PADI Open Water course to be completed over 3 days at RSDC. We had 2:1 instruction at no extra cost (I understand this is normal...) and our action packed days were very well planned from start to finish. Our Serbian instructor seemed to take a vested interest in us not only passing the course... More

Thanks Milan C for your review. Alexsandra your instructor loves to teach and your own natural abilities are a testament to completing the course in only 3 days where most take at least 4. Here at Red Sea Diving College we like to ensure that once certified are divers are competent and this is difficult to achieve (though not impossible)... More

“Unforgettable experience”

My Fiancee and I visited Sharm last week, during this holiday we did an introductory dive at the Red Sea Diving College as we had both snorkeled on previous holidays and had always wanted to try a dive. When we arrived we were met by our instructor Dickon Smith who (after the form filling) took us through the PADI introduction... More

“VIP ONE scores again”

Reviewed May 17, 2013

This is my third trip on VIP ONE and the first since her refit. This year I chartered the whole boat for my dive club's annual overseas trip. The standards are still up with the best. The crew are consistent, some of them being on the boat for 15 years! The best chef in the Red Sea scored again with... More

Thanks kwb4455 for your review. VIP One is exactly what the name suggests. You cannot ask for a better combination of experienced crew, dive guides and a stunning boat and no-one comes off of her complaining. Dan at Holiday Designers is a great partner to work with and helps to make to whole reservation experience hassle free. More
