Scufundări în Hurgada

August 26, 2026

Am făcut scufundari prima data aici. Instructorul Islam și echipa lui sunt profesioniști, am învățat și experimentat in siguranță scufundarea intr o zonă mirifica cu o multitudine de corali, pești , scoici anemone de mare în culori superbe. După scufundare nu ne mai saturam de snorkeling. A doua zi am luat un vas din Marina Hurgada pt snorkeling și Orange Bay. Am fost dezamăgiți pt ca ambele opriri pt snorkeling erau în zone cu corali morți, gri . Am văzut doar câteva specii de pești și cam atât. Nu s a comparat cu biodiversitatea coralilor vii din prima excursie și bogăția de specii de pești. Deci chiar dacă distanță pe sosea în Km și timpul pe drum până la vas a fost de 20-30 min, faptul ca ne au dus intr ul loc în care am văzut minunățiile ascunse ale Marii Rosii, ne face sa ne dorim să repetăm experiența. Multumim mult pentru organizare și profesionalism!

Exceptional trip to the White Island in Sharm!

The staff was highly dedicated and friendly, and the conditions on the boat were great, with delicious food included. The scuba diving instructor and the snorkeling guides were extremely patient and professional. Very fair prices for the whole experience. Highly recommended! (2 adults and 2 children)

Nurkowanie rafa koralowa

July 26, 2026

Byłem z rodziną już kolejny raz z tym biurem 2 dorosłych i 2 dzieci lat 14 i 13. Super niezapomniana wycieczka. Naprawdę warto. Super instruktor spokojnie wszystko wytłumaczy i ciągle asekuruje więc nie ma się o co bać. Jedzenie ok na statku i jeszcze trafiliśmy delfiny. Na początku było trochę problemów z odzyskaniem zdjęć za które zapłaciliśmy, ale po interwencji biura wszystko dostaliśmy. Więc za taką cenę naprawdę warto kupić.
