Hey!
I had a wonderful time in Dahab and a great time doing my advanced!
Thanks to Sinai Divers and special thanks to Pritesh for being a great instructor and being patient all the time! Was great, especially the The Bells/Blue Hole!
The Night Dive was a special experience, but please fix the torches its just a shit feeling to dive in the dark without a proper light!
Thank you and see you soon!

On voudrait remercier toute l'équipe de SinaiDivers et en particulier Stefan Kerkhofs, qui nous a ouvert l'univers soumarin, d'une façon efficace et amusante!

Ces six jours de plongé qu'on a fait ont été marqués par la joie de découverte, de magnifiques sensations de légère fatigue et d'énorme satisfaction!

Nous allons sûrement revenir un jour à Sharm-el Sheikh pour continuer cette aventure avec SinaiDivers!

Que de bons souvenirs!

Hi, Sinai Divers!

I want to thank each and every one on the Sinai Divers Naama Bay team! You made our diving holiday AMAZING!
I finally completed my education - thanks to Thomas "Cam" Cameron - a huge thank you to him and applause for his patience.
Our dives were always organized - thank you to the girls on the reception - especially Katy.
Our equipment was always nice and working (otherwise I wouldn't live to tell the story) thanks to the guys at the equipment desk.
AND A HUGE THANX TO ALL THE DIVE MASTERS AND INSTRUCTORS!
YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!

So great - I got inspired. I dedicate this one to you, guys -
SHED A TEAR by Mariya Shcherbinina

To the depths of blue seas,
Where I saw different life,
I bid my farewell,
Maybe I'll even cry.

To the winds over oceans,
That took me to other worlds
I will say my goodbyes
And my promising words.

I will someday return
To see other shores,
To see different stories,
Of which i have heard.

They will soon be forgotten,
But by others, not me.
I will always remember
That very blue sea.

I will always remember
The smiles and words
Of the people who taught me
To see other worlds.

And I want to say thank you
For the things you have done.
For your smiles have helped me,
Bright as the setting sun.

Thank you dearly for everything
Thank you for what you do.
While waving good-bye,
I'll shed a tear or two.

Shed a tear for my happiness
Shed a tear 'cause all's well.
Shed a tear for remembrance
And a tear for farewell.

Shed a tear for the seas of blue
For the depths that remain.
Shed a tear for the mysteries,
That will never be the same.

Shed a tear for your talent.
Shed a tear for my fate.
Shed a tear to remember
And not to be late.

Then I once will return
And I will be able
To shad a tear for what I've known
And what I would remember.


THANK YOU SO MUCH

Hi Achmet,

diving with you, looking for sharks and frogfishes and all those beautifully corals was really great.

we want to thank you for your enthusiasmus, all the nice briefings and your impressable skills in diving and guiding.

Thanks a lot

Gaby and Kurt.

Thanks to all at SD Sharm el Sheikh,

it was great to be back and to see you all one year on. Special thanks to Friday for the pocketmoney, Tony for the taps, Barbara for showing me the dolphins on the Thistlegorm and the famous Jackson frogfish and Mark for the huge Grey Reef shark.

Hope to bre back at some point, hopefully to be guided by Emad.

Take care and all the best.

Hi guys,

Mido und ich genossen es wie immer bei euch zu sein und wir haben euch alle (besonders FRIDAY) soooooooooo sehr vermisst.

Unser kleiner Tauchgang am Beach war echt cool (thanks DON u did great!!!)

WE MISS AND LOVE U GUYS, THANK YOU FOR ALL, LOOKING FOWARD TO SEE YOU SOON !!!!!!

BOSA Ex-counterchick SANDRA + MIDO

Many thanks to all staff in Dahab, particularly Jeanette for her video, and for finding new, for us, creatures.

The Seagrass ghost pipe fish, and the orange and white seaslug (name escapes me) spring to mind.

many thanks for the beautifull dives at Ras Mohamed Thistlegorm and dunraven
i like to make my special thanks to gaby ,William and team Baron Resort and to pete at centre naáma bay.

hope to see you again next year.

Peter(the dutch guy)

Thanks to everyone at Sinai Divers Dahab, especially Clive, for the fantastic support given to me as a novice diver.

It's great to have the video produced by Jeannette so I can look back and see all the fish and coral.

Looking forward to returning and doing the Advanced diving course.

A great diving holiday that I will be recommending to everyone.

It's not very often that I'm on the other side of this guest book, but recently I have been on the Gazala Voyager to the Brothers.
As a professional myself, having Brigette and Sharon as guides was sensational. The quiet waters of Dahab are a far cry from the big currents and adreneline shark diving of the Brothers. It was amazing! Ineveitably, Brigette was ALWAYS right... if we looked the other way for five minutes we'd undoubtedly miss grey reefs circling, mantas gliding past or hammerheads passing by. Her judgement was sound in every way. Both Hendick and I said a dozen times that week how lucky we were to have such a great boat, great crew and great guides.

Thanks for everything!
Mady

A long-overdue thank you to the staff at Sinai Divers in Dahab - Hilton - and especially my lead instructor Mady MacDonald.

First class equipment and professionalism exhibited at all times by the dive center, and as for Mady's instructional ability and commitment - inspirational! As someone who has been involved in several adventure sports to quite a high level, I was extremely impressed by her dedication to ensuring maximal student progression through the PADI course as well as her insights into the wider world of diving.

Thank you once again - looking forward to coming back in November!

Hi, Paula and Sílvia


It was great diving with you, I miss the bell calling for the briefing early in the morning. Send my regards to Capi and his crew....see you next year?????

Kisses....and never forget that there´s nothing a good diving day won´t cure!

MarcinhaDiver

Un grand merci à Stephan pour les 4 jours que nous avons passé avec lui.

Nous sommes très contents d'avoir notre PADI OPEN WATER.

Seul regret: pas vu Tiran ni Ras Mohammed :(

On a quand même vu plein de choses magnifiques et nous sommes très motivés à revenir pour passer le Advanced et sortir des sites locaux...

Meilleures salutations

Hi to everyone at Sinai Divers, Hilton ( Dahab ).

Thanks for a great week of diving. The dive centre is professionally run and everyone is very friendly.

The highlight of the week was our last dive when we were lucky enough to dive with 2 dolphins.

We ended up spending 30 minutes with them at about 20 metres and they were very playful (including picking up stones and dropping / catching them mid water etc).

What a dive! You can see some footage here:

Thanks a lot to all the team at Sinai divers Baron hotel Sharm for a fantastic diving with a great instructor Ibrhaim!

(It's the 3^ time for me!)

Special thanks to Evelin, Tony (his dvd is fantastic) Gaby and William.

Ciao e grazie!

Hi to everyone at Sinai Divers, Dahab!

Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed doing our Open Water and Advanced Courses with you. From the moment we walked through the door, a little nervous, of course...we were immediately put at ease and made to feel comfortable and relaxed - which kind of helps when you're 20-30m under water!

Every part of the dive holiday ran like clockwork - courses, dives, equipment, jeep and boat trips - thanks to you guys and especially Hendrik - and we will definitely back to do the Blue Hole and Canyon amongst others! I'm so impressed that you even got one of the turtles to come out and see us for our last dive!

Can't recommend you guys highly enough!

See you soon,
Trish and Paul

I want to say thank you for the great 10 days safari on ghazala voyager in august!!
special thanks to our friend ahmed tiger for guiding us through the ten days and showing us
112 hammerheads
1 whaleshark
the several grey reef and whitetips
the eagle rays and the other fantastic stuff!

thanks also to tim for the nice week on the xtra boat
specially for the fun on the wet deck after the longimanus!!

see you next year

Hi everyone at Sinaidivers Dahab,

I just finished my Divemaster Training at Sinaidivers Backpackers. It was a wonderful time with all you guys! Very professional and friendly employees. Thank You all!

Especially Viv, of course, my instructor..or better..mentor :) I really loved the training with you.

Next time I come back still seems soooo far away..

Cheers

To everyone at Sinai Divers in Dahab,

Thank you for a great weeks diving. Have returned to Dahab many times before this place keeps getting better and better. Thank you to Ashraf, Andy and Ed for some great days out. There was only one disapointing moment of the trip which was when we found out Erin will not be there next year, but we wish her good luck in her move back home, we will miss you next time.

Thanks again to everyone.

Simon

Hi to everyone at Sinai divers in Dahab.
Can't beleive that our three weeks with you came and went so quickly, but what a truely amazing time we had. You all made us feel so welcome.
Thank you so much to Hendik for being a fantastic and very patient instructor and getting Michael at the ripe old age of 12 to become a Master Scuba Diver,maybe the youngest, and me being the oldest!!! I hope Eid you nose has recovered from Michael using it as a joystick during our rescue diver course.
Thanks also to Asraf, Katie, Ed and Andy for some great dives, we have some lovely photos to look back on. Even if Ed did turn left instead of right at coral garden!
It was also great meeting up again with Nancy and Alistair who we first met with you guys 2 years ago.
We are really sorry trhat we won't be seeing you Erin at the dive show in November, we'll have to make a trip down under instead to see you, but it will be great seeing Johan there.
Thanks again to everyone, we had the most amazing time. See you all again next year.
Love Jo and Michael.xxx
PS Divemaster here we come!!

My husband Tony and I would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone at Sinai Divers who made our holiday so fantastic both last year and this year - especially Gabby, Ibrahim and William at the Baron Resort for taking such good care of us and making us feel so welcome, and Sveta, Richard, Mitch, Dean, Mo and Eduard for being such fantastic guides.

It was great to dive with Sveta again - Richard and Shrek say hello and thanks for the present!

Also a big thank you to Captain Yahya of Gazala 5 - a brilliant Captain who treated us with great hospitality, who we hope to see again next year! We'd love to see the 19 Hammerhead sharks at Jackson Reef again too please!!

See you all next August.

Best wishes


Jo and Tony Turpin

i love this site please keep on the good work

Dear Sinai Divers Backpacker Team

We enjoyed doing the Open Water and all the other dives and want to thank you for everything. Friendly staff, experienced and professional instructors (special thanks to Synthia), nice atmosphere - to make a long story short, we would recommend this center to everybody!!!

Greets and hope to see you again!

Marcel, Boris, Pascal

I got my new padi card today, having completed my Advanced with Mady Macdonald at Dahab. I also got invited to complete a questionnaire about the instructor...


I told them that in my humble opinion Mady walks on water....


of course that's not helpful for a diving instructor :)

Thanks a lot to all the team at Sinai divers for a fantastic underwater holiday. Special thanks to Max, Tim, Andy, Akmed for many memorable dives and Clive for being a great instructor for my advanced OW. Thanks also to Jeanette for an excellent DVD which I have already enjoyed watching several times.

Overall a fabulous two weeks which would not have been the same without such a welcoming and friendly bunch of people. Lookforward to hopefully returning next for more diving.

Thankyou again,
Matthew

Just wanted to say a huge 'Thank you' to the Sinai divers team, for making a great holiday - superb!

A special thanks to Clive, Eid and Mady (what an 'asset') - for taking care of me and getting me through my 'Open Water' level. Never before have I met so many friendly, welcoming and encouraging instructors - you really made learning to Dive an enjoyable, unforgettable experience.

We have never gone back to the same place to holiday before... but Dahab is different! The boys are already talking about joining their Mum and learning to Dive next year!

Back in the UK and missing Dahab already!!! A HUGE thankyou to all the guys at Sinai divers for making the diving so enjoyable. Shame about the whale shark and threshers, maybe next time!!!

Special thanks to Eid who should carry on growing his hair!! Salmi for the fantastic evening in the mountain, Ashraf for the wonderfully chilled dives and of course Simone the best counter chick ever!!

Lastly a MASSIVE thanks to Clive and Jeanette for putting up with us for 3 weeks, we miss you all.

Cant wait to see you all again very, very soon.
Dive safely

Hi Shady, Yvonne, Hanni and the rest of the crew at Sinai Divers (Backpackers).

I was on holiday with the Planet Divers group back in June and spent nearly every day diving with one or more of you guys. What a great bunch, friendly and professional (you've heard it all before I know, but it really is true).
Thanks for a great time and hope to get back sometime soon and see you guys again.

Anyone planning a trip to Dahab should look these guys up, they'll take great care of you.

Chris

Just like to say a big thankyou to the team at Sinai Divers in Dahab. I had a great hoilday, and I would like to say thankyou to Hendrik Martens for making my first time of diving memorable and fun. Thankyou for motivating me through the padi open water course and giving me the confidence to progress and do my Adventure dives which I loved doing!! My favourite dive was the night dive which was the last dive of my hoilday, and it was the perfect end to my hoilday. I can't wait to come back and do more dives with you!
Also a thankyou to Clive Hanna and the team at e-mocean for filming me on my open water dive at the lighthouse. And making it into a dvd so I can watch back on one of the best experiences that I have done!!
Hope to see you all again next summer!
Take care, from kelly stokes x

Thank you Bob, Synthia and the entire crew at Sinai Divers Backpackers for a wonderful introduction to the undersea world.

You were all completely professional and a blast to work and hang out with. Now that you've made an Open Water Diver of me, I will sing your praises wherever I go, and this will be my first stop when I return to Dahab in the future (which can't come soon enough).

Hi,

I just wanted to send a big THANK YOU to you all, especially to Paula Rueda, our instructor from Sharm, the one who transformed our experience there from great to life changing ;). Here is why:

roxi.carmaciu.com/egipt2008/index.html

Hope to see you again soon :)

Dahab - Aaaah Dahab......
I've been home but a few hours and am missing the gold town and you wonderful people already.
I am so sorry for not getting into the dive centre before i left so i would like to say a huge thank you to you all now.
Jeanette and Clive for being my bestest friends in the world, nothing is too much for you (even putting me up for three weeks) and for being great dive guides and pub guides :o)
Hendrik - I'll never see you in the same light again......It was very fetching attire though.
Simone and Erin who are always there to greet you with smiling faces. Johan, Eid, Salah, Salmi, Hamam, moon and everyone else who work their backsides off to make Sinai Divers Dahab the best dive centre possible. You are all so much fun. I particularly liked the three wise monkeys....
I hope to see you all again soon, ensha-allah.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you so much for making my vacation in Dahab so great!

Sinai divers BACKPACKERS - you are the best diving center in all Egypt. The staff were all so professional and friendly especially my instructor Pritesh Shah - thanks to him I had the most amacing experience diving for the first time.
