We had a very nice time with the team at Dive Base Academy. My friend, who had no diving experience at all, was introduced to diving very gently and had a wonderful diving experience. As an experienced diver, I also had a very casual guide and a fun group on my dive. The dive groups consisted of two to four divers, which also made it very pleasant. The dive spots were absolutely awesome. The underwater world of animals and a very beautiful variety of corals was breathtaking. The supply on the boat with drinks and food was very good and sufficient. The team was also very concerned about the well-being of the guests and did a great job. All in all, the value for money is right and I can recommend this dive center to anyone.

We have booked an excursion to Orange Bay through our hotel including snorkeling and lunch on board.

Normally I don't give reviews and I wasn't asked about it but the staff of the Blue Octopus on Tuesday 2/7/2024 made sure that this was an unforgettable day.

The captain, the chef, the boat staff and the guys who lead the excursion really do everything to make it a beautiful day. The food was varied and fresh and something for everyone. While snorkeling we were taken to the most beautiful coral reefs, with fish that you only see in the aquarium.

For anyone who might get sick at sea, they have a solution in advance and for those who want there are life jackets on board. For the little ones, bands were placed in the water where they could hold on to and the boys then calmly took them in tow through the sea.

It is highly recommended to book this excursion, if you have the opportunity ask for the gentlemen of the Blue Octopus. Don't forget to bring a small tip too. Much to my surprise, really few people tipped. The boys share these with all the staff on the boat.

Brothers, I hope with God's will that you may continue to be said every day with your humor, commitment and maintain this team spirit. We will meet again in the future!

P.s. the photographer on the boat (Yassir) really takes the time to take nice pictures of you all day, even in the water he takes you aside lures the fish and then makes videos. Afterwards the price was not so bad because there is no fuss about the number of photos. He literally sends you everything! (Hundreds of pictures)

Habibi, come to Egypt!

I had the privilege of diving with Dive Base Academy in Hurghada, and it was a sublime experience! From the beginning I was warmly received by a team of friendly and helpful people. What struck me most was how thoroughly and in detail they explained everything. Every aspect of the dive was clearly discussed, making me feel safe and knowledgeable.

A special word of thanks goes to Ahmed Zakaria, my diving instructor. He really is the buddy everyone should have! His patience, professionalism and enthusiasm made me feel completely comfortable underwater. He was always alert and made sure I could fully enjoy my diving experience.

Hopefully next year I will get the chance to dive again with Ahmed. Thanks for this unforgettable experience, dude!

I can highly recommend Dive Base Academy to anyone looking for an unforgettable diving experience in Hurghada!

We had a great diving experience with Dive Base Academy as Open Water Divers. What made it so special was our divemaster Kiro. He was very knowledgeable, has such a good attitude and it was just so much fun to dive with him. Kiro made us feel safe the whole time and shared his love of diving with us. We highly recommend the daily dive with Kiro and hope to come back to do more dives with him.

Wow what can I say about this trip??!!! This was the best experience that I have had. We hired a boat privately just for the 6 of us. I am so glad I did. We experienced many special things, we saw a family of dolphins it was magical just swimming freely in the sea. We went to orange bay island crystal clear water, swings and hammocks in the sea. A beautiful experience. The next highlight was snorkelling, wow it was just like swimming in a tropical fish tank. The crew on the boat and our tour guide Yousef were amazing. They really did take good care of us. I can honestly highly recommend this company and please do take a private trip if it’s within your budget you will not be disappointed. Thank you to you all at Dive Base Academy you have given our family some amazing memories which we will never forget ❤️

The most professional boat trip organised in hurghada.
We went twice and absolutely loved each moment of the trips. The first trip was for diving, the instructors were super professional and cery patient to teach each one of us all the steps, i personally couldn't dive so one of the instructor helped me for snorkeling. We even saw dolphins. The second trip was for Orange Bay Island with snorkeling stops. Beautiful !!!!
Both of the trips had drinks and great food on board. The captain was super nice and all the team members too.
I really recommend to book your trips with them if you re beginner or experimented, they are amazing.

Nice people, good food. Went scuba diving 2x; first dive was a bit hectic, a lot of divers and some people in the group weren’t paying attention which made the route shorter. 2nd dive went really well, saw many types of fish and coral. All equipment was taken care of. After dives we went to Orange Bay.
