My girlfriend and I went diving for the first time in Egypt at the Red Sea this summer (2021).
We stayed at the Mövenpick Hotel El Quseir and dived with Deep Ocean Blue, which was located a neighbouring resort.
The daily pick-up worked out very well.
The dive center is run by Nadar and his wife Sabine. Nadar is a very experienced and professional owner and divemaster.
He is very accommodating and helpful. If you have a concern, you can easily discuss it with him. His wife Sabine takes care of the administration.
The rental equipment is generously laid out and it is very well maintained.
Also our special wish to get a longsuit instead of a shorty was taken care of instantly.
We dived with some local tourists and other Swiss divers who have spent their diving vacations with Deep Ocean Blue for many years.
We had 8 nice shore dives from 4 different sites by minibus. One of the sites - Soug Bohar - didn't have any infrastructure (toilets, showers and so on).
Although we would have liked to be informed about this before, this remains our only suggestion for improvement.
Nevertheless, it's a spectacular dive site and it's worth to see.
The dive centre is located at the Silver Beach Resort. Nadar's goal is to develop it into a diving resort.
A jetty will be built soon and boat dives should be offered again soon, too. We were too few people to go on a boat dive plus some licensing issues still
need to be solved. Nadar actually owns a very nice boat, which he also plans to use for overnight stays in the future as he and Sabine only recently
moved their dive centre to El Quseir.
To sum up, we had a great diving experience with wounderful people for a reasonable price and can recommend this experience to anyone.

When I am in Egypt, there is only one address for me - the Deep Ocean Blue diving center.
Sabina and Nader run the top diving center in the Silver Beach Resort in El Quesir (1,5h south of Hurghada).
Since Easter 2021 the diving center is open again and I just spent a week diving with them.
The dive crew is professional, super friendly and helpful. The equipment (which is washed every day after diving by the staff) is tip top and is regularly maintained.
Great and nearby dive sites are dived which are away from the masses of divers and tourists.
The Silver Beach hotel where the dive center is located is perfect for divers. The staff adjust the meals to the return after a day of diving and listened to all our wishes. A small but nice hotel for those who want to end the day in peace on the beach or pool after a great day of diving - without many other guests and animation.
In the dive center „safety first“ is always written large, especially now in times of Corona. Every morning before each diving day, everyone's temperature is taken, and distance is maintained as much as possible.
All in all, I can say it was a great vacation where everyone looked after each other.
I will definitely come again! ;-)

I can highly recommend Deep Ocean Blue Diving Center. My son and I have been diving with them in 2019 and 2020, and both times it has been great. I am OWSI, my son is Jr. OWD. Deep Ocean Blue are very very good at meeting the individual needs of their customers, and making sure everybody have a perfect experience, no matter if they are beginners or very experienced divers. The staff is not only qualified, but also very committed, professional and service minded. The prices are very fair, and everything is well organized. All in all, a big thumb up!

This was my second visit to the diving center, which I only got to know on my second vacation there. I was picked up every day in a free minibus for about 40 minutes. At first it was winter and there were only three divers in the water with me. This did not affect the support and friendliness of the staff; sometimes there were three staff for three divers. Unlike other diving centers south of Port Ghalib, here I appreciated that my equipment was really reliably washed every day and I didn't have to worry about anything. I was helped in a friendly way with getting dressed and with the weights - great. The diving instructors are in a class of their own, not agitated, calm, relaxed. The diving spots you see here are not run-of-the-mill like at the "big chains". You get the feeling that you are diving at secret spots where even the fish are more shy than elsewhere. Although that would be enough to choose the diving center, there are also the super nice diving instructors, almost all of whom speak German (half-German management) and the really good price offer. 5 days of diving cost 330 EUR, no taxes or fees are charged separately like with the "big chains". In return you see 10 spots, 3 by minibus and 2 by boat. The training is not mass processing. You don't feel like a paying fish who is processed with 20 other divers. You feel comfortable here. I would be happy to come back any time and would definitely recommend it. Special thanks to Nemo, who always had a smile on his face despite the cold 22 degrees!

With our guide mostafa we completed our first dives in the open water diver course. Mustafa was excellent and very accommodating. He always made sure that we were not lacking anything and that we could enjoy the best possible diving experience. Truly an awesome guide! All in all deep blue ocean is a great dive center with a unique price/performance ratio. Highly recommended. Thanks again for the great time!

This is truly “Diving with friends”. The Deep Ocean Blue Team does a great job making your dive just enjoyable. I’m diving with them for several years now and it feels like coming home. The shop is nice, clean and well organized. The team cares the equipment after the dive and next day you have your box packed ready to go without any item missing. Nader always managed to find a great diving spot despite the pretty windy conditions this year. They are offering shore dives with many dives spots reachable within a few minutes around El Quseir as well as day boat trips with their dive boat Venecia. We had a lot of great dives, safe and plenty of fun with our guide Gaber (Tingeltangel Bob). Just back from Egypt and I can’t wait to be back at the Deep Ocean Blue diving center next year. Thanks a lot to the team, Nader and Sabina for the great time. Looking forward to see you guys again in April 22.

Happy to be back diving after this forced Corona break with a perfectly safe and family friendly dive center. It's great to experience that owners and staff deliver the same atmosphere, quality and flexibility as before. The new place it's even better with the dive center facing the sea in a very relaxing atmosphere. I'm certainly coming back! More so, as the own dive boat has also been refurbished for great trips directly from El Quseir.

When I'm in Egypt, I love diving with the Deep Ocean Blue team! The whole team is super friendly, hard-working and they make diving easy and enjoyable. After the dive, the team washes the equipment and you have enough time to talk to the other divers and dive guides about what you've seen and the dive site. Great dive sites are visited, sometimes from land by bus or boat. In February I dived with Deep Ocean Blue for a week again and had unforgettable dives and every wish I expressed was fulfilled without any problems. I also did my rescue diver training on this vacation and learned a lot. The dive center has been located in the Coral Hills Hotel Marsa Alam for a good year now. A simple but fine hotel where you immediately feel at home. The house reef is great for diving and snorkeling! The dive center's motto "Come as a guest - leave as a friend" is 100% true, because once you've dived with DOB, you'll never consider another dive center in Egypt again! I'll be back - hopefully soon ;-)

Our first (padi) diving experience and it was great! The team is very friendly and relaxed. They give you a great time and explain everything very clear. It was so much better than expected. Everything was professional and clean. They answer every question until it is clear and give a lot of personal attention. I never felt unsafe under water, they take good care of you. We had such a good time and come back, inshallah.

I'm always happy to write a good review. Nader and Sabina always make a lot of effort to satisfy their guests. I can only recommend the diving school for all age groups, where we were able to experience an unforgettable time underwater.
