I went to the SeaWorld Diving Center at Novotel this month to get the Open Water Diver license. The diving center is very well equipped, with everything you may need as a beginner and as an advanced diver. The course materials were available in many languages, for example in Polish. The staff was very nice, always ready to help me for example with the heavy equipment. They always offered me tea, soft drinks and water between the dives and I could always count on their smile, good advice or support. My instructor, Moni, is not only a great expert but probably the best instructor you can have. She's strict enough to teach you really a lot in a relatively short time. She was always patient and ready to explain things one more time or to answer my questions. On the other hand, she's got a good sense of humor and I felt really safe with her under water, as she was able to calm me down and show me the beauty of Red Sea coral reef. It was such a pleasure to dive with Moni! The coral reefs are really beautiful there and the diving center organizes trips to many dive sites, so that you are not bored and you have a chance to see more. I highly recommend to support this diving center, as the times for tourism and small businesses like this one are really tough now. I also recommended writing an email to them before you come to Egypt, they can pick you up from other hotels. Staying in Novotel is totally not obligatory (I was in a different hotel), as you will be diving in many different places anyways. Greetings to the best team, I will for sure be back to do more courses with you!

We have spent one week in Marsa Alam and during this we did 6 days / 12 dives with the Seaworld diving center.
We had various instructors during our stay, all very professional. I warmly recommend Ibrahim for his calm and reassuring attitude.
It was our first dive holiday after obtaining the open water certificate and we left feeling much more confident and experienced.
Also their staff is super friendly and helpful, I already miss their smiling attitude.
All in all we had a great time and hope to be back!

Last week, 16-22 February 2020, my son and I made some 14 dives with this fantastic Diving Center.
Befor this we visited many divecenters in many countries( 5x Indonesia, 6 weeks Australia, 8 different centers in Egypt etc.), but this D.C. was/is top of the bill!!!
The organisation, pick up time, the guides, the handling of the equipment, taking all divelevels into account...We never had so a great experience!!
We will come back, next year!!

I went to Marsa Alam in November 2020 with the intention to take Open Water Diver training. My grlfriend and I stayed in Novotel Marsa Alam. On the beach right at the hotel there is this cosy diving center. I spoke with the Italian manager Andrea who was very helpful in exlaining everything. I wanted to take a training with PADI certification but ended up with SSI based on Andrea's recommendation. And I don't regret it. Training is the same and you get your certificate at the end (with PADI you have to wait). Plus you can access study material online for free. Additionally, you get a total of 5 dives with this diving center compared to usual 4. My instructor was Moni, an experienced German diver, who taught me all the key skills. She was very patient and explained everything in a calm manner. I feel very comfortable now that I know how to prepare my equipment and how to handle some emergency situations under water. All the Egyptian staff at the diving center were helpful as well, especially Shazly with whom my girlfriend took 2 snorkelling trips. She said Shazly was caring and showed her the best spots to see marine life. All diving locations were superb with diverse marine life. I recommend Abu Dabbab for snorkelling/diving with turtles - there are so many of them. If you choose the house reef at the hotel you won't make a mistake either. I potted various fish species, stingrays, giant moray and even 3 dolphins on the last dive. To sum it up, this diving center has experienced and enthustiastic employees and everything is totally clean. All of their equipment is in a great shape. I definitely recommend visiting this diving center if you are staying in Novotel or closeby and are considering a snorkelling trip, a couple of dives or completing a training. I am planning to come back myself.

We were able to enjoy totally relaxed diving holidays with Moni and Andrea and their staff. The base exceeded everything we had experienced. All-round service and finally all the equipment washed, disinfected and dried. Gladly again with these great people. Thank you the three Swiss divers.

It was my second time diving with SeaWorld in Marsa Alam and it will always be the only dive center I'll go to.
Everybody is very friendly and helpful, the staff does everything for you, guides and instructors are professional and kind.
The trips are well prepared and everything has a familiar atmosphere, there is no "mass processing".
If you want to go diving, no matter if as an experienced diver or if you just want to try it out - go there!! You will be in best hands!

We stayed at the Novotel Marsa Alam for a week and took turns diving with Moni at the Sea World Dive Center. The diving center is very well organized. We were able to easily alternate between diving and babysitting. The whole atmosphere was very family-like and the staff were very professional. The equipment was carefully and professionally stored and cleaned and everything was always ready. Individual requests and concerns were always taken into account and we got to know some wonderful people. Our little daughter also felt very comfortable. Both the house reef and the diving spots, which can be reached by bus or speedboat, are top notch. Absolutely recommended!!!

We returned after the 2018 experience which was largely positive.
This time too I can't help but compliment Andrea and his staff.
My son got his Nitrox and Stress and Rescue certifications, while his friend who came on holiday with us did the Open.
Both with Ahmed, who was really tough (I hope I spelled his name right).
I am fully satisfied with how the courses were carried out, in terms of professionalism and friendliness.
The icing on the cake was that my son and I finally saw the hammerhead sharks at Elphinstone.
On the shoal at 8 in the morning there were already a certain number of boats and dinghies (never like in Sharm), so I feared that we wouldn't succeed, but instead on the second dive Bazooka "sniffed" them and they appeared from the blue 3 specimens that came up to snoop around 35/40 meters.
Wonderful!
We were able to see them quite closely for almost ten minutes, with their particular, very elegant and fascinating movement.
Perfect holiday.

The Seaworld Diving Center @ Novotel "Marsa Alam" is such a great place to dive!
A wonderful house reef where you can spot everything from E like Eagle Ray to T like Turtle.
The dive center is managed in a very professional way.
The staff is friendly, giving hand and taking care of everything. Most important: you can relay on the staff and they handle your own equipment very carefully - 100% service for relaxed diving!
So I can recommend the Seaworld Diving Center @ Novotel "Marsa Alam" as a great dive center from just starters doing the Open Water course to expierenced divers with hundreds of dives...

Bonjour, est-ce que la plongée est possible depuis la jetée sans faire d’excursion à la journée ? Le reef en vaut la peine ? Est-il possible de plonger en couple sans un instructeur du club de plongée ? Et seulement louer le matériel ? Merci de vos réponses Christophe
