Easy Divers Red Sea Feedback

On this page you can share your experiences and impressions with others.

We appreciate your feedback about your holiday with us. We are happy and pleased to hear your good comments, but we also value your suggestions and comments if they help us to improve our services.

Your diving stories are important to us. Please submit your undersea images taken on holiday with us. They could be the batfish on the House Reef or the frogfish on Fanadir. We also enjoy seeing the above water pictures, diving from the boats, lazing around the dive centres, students concentrating!! The non-divers in your group can be kept busy recording your diving experience. We may even be tempted to use some of your pictures to decorate the web site. Comments are listed below and portfolios of photographs can be found under Picture Gallery.

We look forward to reading your words and seeing your images.

Bedankt voor het
meewerken aan een super geweldige vakantie. Bedankt voor de ruimte
die jullie ons gegeven hebben als 't even niet ging om dan toch een
andere dag opnieuw te gaan duiken. We hebben hele mooie vissen
en plekjes gezien. Het onderwaterleven is echt geweldig. We komen zeker
nog een keer terug om gezellig met jullie te duiken en nog meer
ervaringen op te doen. Bedankt voor alles, jammer dat we weer naar huis gaan.

Groetjes

Na 7 jaar pauze weer een hele
ervaring! We hebben geweldig gedoken, is verslavend. Bedankt voor de
geduld en doorzettings vermogen bij de "oor-angst" van Beate. Ze
heeft de smaak te pakken, waren we nu nog maar een paar dagen langer
hier ... We hebben genoten van de sfeer en jullie leuke team, is voor
herhalin vatbaar!

De onder waterwereld is mooier dan je kunt bedenken. Zeker voor
herhaling vatbaar (al heb ik nog een beetje twijfels ..). Wellicht
dat bij een volgende duik de gewenning wat meer optreedt! Koos &

The last 5 days have been most excellent. The boat, the crew, the dive sites were the greatest. The crew were friendly and willing to help and the two dive masters who guided us on the dives were nice people and made the dives even more beautiful than they already were. I would recommend easy divers to any diver. Thank you!!

Danny Mills 18.02.04

I've just had 5 days of the best diving ever. Our dive guide was mustafa who was brilliant. The dive centre is well run & live on the boat was great. The food on board was also good.

With kindest regards.

Hello everybody at Easy Divers!

We want to thank you all and especially Mark for our great diving back in early March 2003.
In fact we enjoyed the diving and the company so much that we are coming back again in June for more!!!
Demetrio is still hoping to see some sharks around but I am quite happy if I would manage to see some of those beautiful sea horses on your house reef.
We are both wanting to do the advance diving course with you guys if possible, we will be in Hurghada 6-13th June.
So see you all soon! Take care!

Kind regards

This was our last trip with easy divers for 2002, we had warm waters of 26 with viz from 10 - 25 m. The weather was a tad windy but this did not detour au at all we still were lucky with the dives we did, seeing Dolphins, turtle, abundance of octopus. great reef life and some great corals
We are now in the planning stage for our trips with you again next year and we all look forward to our next adventures with you then.

Dear Nigel and the gang

Just a quick note to say thank you very much for an excellent week's diving. The seahorses were fabulous as were the dolphins and all the fishes and corals - I can't wait for Sel to send me all his pictures. There's a really good one of a dolphin and some not so
nice ones of me on my back blowing those smoke ring air bubbles !!!!!

Thanks very much once again and I shall look forward
to seeing you all again soon.

Take care.

Roland and Robert with Mustafa, Suzi and Jenny in the foreground

Hello EasyDivers,

Do you remember us ? We stayed a week in Hurghada at the Seaview hotel. We were diving with you from 24th until 29th of may 2002.
We made the first day 3 housereef dives and after this, 4 days boatdiving with 3 dives a day. It was a really great time with you.
The instructors where very professional and the cook did his job also very good...hmmm delicious. We did also laugh a lot with the crew a really relaxing time.
Robert hired an Sea and sea camera and made a lot of pictures. The results were not alway good but there are some nice ones.
We will post some of them afterwards, OK ?. To Mustafa we promised to sent our special "Pattaya Club Sounds" CD,
Mustafa it's on your way to Egypt. We hope your enjoy and dance yourself dizzy...ha ha ha.

We visited serveral divespots:
Abu Ramada South, Gotta Abu Ramada West and East, Fanadir North and South, Fanous East, Turtle Bay, Excalibur, Small Gifton South, Shaab
Sabina, El Sachwa and Marsa Abu Galawa

On our dives we saw a lot of beautiful things like:
Some Big Moreens at Abu Ramada South, Crocodil fish, scorpionfish, octopus and beasutiful coral at Gotta Abu Ramada West,
Blue spotted stingray, Big moreen at Gotta Abu Ramada East. Beatifull pinacles with a lot of glassfish and beautifull coral at
Fanous East, Big school (hundreds around us) of Bluescale Emperors at Turtle Bay such large schools is very rare !!! So we were very lucky,
Dolphins (around 20) passed our boat at Marsa Abu Galawa, we had just finished our dive and unpack our equipment when the dolphins passed, i
took quick my camera and put them on film, a nice souvenir.

Last day we relaxed a little bit on the East Divers beach (Three Corners Village).
Our hotel Seaview was simple but nice (just the breakfast was moderate till bad).
Though the staff was very friendly and nice (especially the manager and the girls on the terras).
They learned us a little bit of Arabic what was very pleasant and funny.

This dive holiday was perfect, nice dives lovely people.
Thanks guys making us happy.
Hope to see you another time.

Greetings Roland and Robert

Thank you so much! It so nice to have it recorded! I really hope I'll be able
to come back and sightsee some more of them in the not so distant future!

Helen Gornall

Hi Helen,

It was nice to have you with us just the other day. We hope that you enjoyed your stay with us and that your trip to Cairo went well.

We think that we have two types of seahorse on the house reef:

hippocampus histrix - the thorny seahorse
hippocampus jayakari - Jayakar's seahorse

Here's a photo of one taken on our House Reef a year or so ago!

With best wishes,

Nigel and Catherine Jarvis and all the Easy Divers Team

On 20th July we received the following London postcard of the Houses of Parliament saying:

"Dear Easy Divers :-)
It's taken too long to get to write a thank you to you all. Thanks for giving us such a great time on our April holiday. Would really like to come back and maybe we will soon. Hope you are all OK and that you received the photos that Aman sent. We'll certainly treasure "the bare bottoms one" :-) !!!

Again with special thanks to Nigel, Becky, Nour, Fathy, Anders and Ahmed from the shop.
Hope to see you all soon. Anna and Aman"

Dear Nigel and Team

Darlington Dolphins are on tour again, after the sensational time we had with you and your crew in 2000 we plan to come to Egypt again in September 2003. Everybody has commented that they would like to dive with Easydivers again.............Feel free to use the photo and the words. Just wish I had mailed it sooner.

I'll be in touch, take care.

Scuba 2000's Red Sea Wreck Safari
with Easy Divers We made yet another wonderful trip this May aboard Conquest with our great guide, Nour, its excellent crew and Captain.
Our adventures on this liveaboard were numerous and the diving was superb.
High points an our safari included: night diving on the Thistlegorm, an Oceanic white tip shark, turtles, dolphins and the wrecks of Abu Nuhas. On our night dive at Bluff point we saw octopus and abundant fish life. Plus much, much more.
Each day and every dive was shared with our group of friends, both old and new, at Scuba 2000. Each evening, satiated by sun and sea, we played games and relaxed (who can forget Bopit!). I, Karen, had a fantastic birthday on 15th May and I'd like to thank the chef once again for my marvellous cakes (all four of them!), the crew and the Easy Divers team for a great night and day. On many nights a few of us were up on deck sleeping under the stars as well as enjoying a few nights in our cabins.
On the last night back in Hurghada we stayed at the Three Corners Empire Hotel and enjoyed a fun night at the Redsea 2 restaurant down town.
A special thanks to all at Easy Divers for giving us yet another truly, wonderful holiday.

Keep a look at for full trip report and photos on our website http://www.scuba2000.org.uk/

Dear All,

Just a quick mail to thank all at easy divers (particularly the person
that was able to get 220 bar into my tank each day) for ensuring my
holiday to the Red Sea was a very enjoyable one. I enjoyed myself more
than I expected and much of that is due to the friendliness of the staff
at easy divers.

Once again many thanks and I do intend to see you all again.

Best regards,

From Leon & Marie-Jose Vinken-Jansen (Veldhoven, Holland)
Since 6 years we visit Easy divers 2-3 times a year. This will say enough
about the organisation of Easy-Divers and the staff, they are great. We
hope that Bob and Nighel will run Easy-Divers for many years in future because
we like them and their organisation.

love it I cant wait, I would also like to know what the rates are for
diving from your boats, as I am thinking of coming back !

Thanks again so much for a fantastic introduction.

Greetings out there!

Finally had the time to sort out a few things, like
pictures of holidays etc. scanned some into my PC.


I will probably return to easydivers in the coming
years, hopefully not prevented by wars or other
political instability, or quite simply, lack of money
I do like Egypt and it's people! Your sticker with
the yellow black fish is on my keyboard, but if it
wasn't, i would surely remember Easydivers just
as well!

(I was at your diving club in October 2001, with
Seahorse Diving from Holland, but now live and work
in Chur, Switzerland as a computer programmer.)
Living right here in the Alps, beautiful all right,
but where is the sea?

(ah, but sometimes i don't understand and think i
belong to the sea, should be there 24hrs a day,
well maybe i might do so sometimes for a year or so..
Would be a lot better for me physically, i like my
work and it pays well, allowing me to do things
like going a few weeks to Egypt, but that costs
42 hours a week sitting in front of a computer
screen..it's not natural.. And so everyone has
something to complain about :o) oh well.

Wishing you all well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody!!

Well, we're back home safely but we want to come back to Egypt NOW!
Thank you all for giving us such a wonderful time and a special thank you
to Fathi, Issmael and Becky for giving me moral support while I was trying
to learn to dive! I WILL be finishing the course!!

We've got some really cool photos which I am in the process of getting
ontodisk so I can email some to you very soon.
We've already had a mini reunion on Saturday (and we won't even talk about
the flight home yet - all I will say is that it was a bit noisy and there
was a bit of alcohol involved ...) and we're now trying to organise a
live-aboard in the summer so we will see you again soon!

The Edmonston Family thoroughly enjoyed their stay with us over Easter 2002. They have fallen in love with Egypt for the following reasons: sun, wonderful diving, friendly people and great hospitality at Three Corners Village and Easy Divers. They enhanced their Open Water skills and Stephanie, th youngest, enjoyed her Bubble Maker session on our House Reef.

Away from the sea they saw the Pyramids in Cairo on horseback, the Sound and Light Show at night at the Pyramids, a view of all of Cairo from the Tower (Cairo's equivalent of the London Eye) and a trip to Khan el Khalili.......the huge market bazaar.........where anything can be found!

They have sent us this drawing in appreciation! We're not sure we can provide our guests with the snorkelling penguins though!

Hi there,

I read the story on your website about the following fish............


My name is David, i was in Hurghada last year arround may.
I have seen the same thing, as i was diving, and i can't rememder
presice witch reef it was,
(I should look it up in my log) there was a fish folowing me as well.
I din't pay much attention to it, but every time i looked over
my shoulder is was still there. It was the same fish! It kept swimming next
to me about 1 meter away, and the fish was about 40 centimeters long.
The fish stayed with me about 15 minutes, where ever i went,
the fish went.
I thought that was so bizarre! Maybe it was my blessing, as
I was in Egypt my girlfriend was at home carrying our child.
That has been born now (5 months ago) A boy, his name is Damian
and he is in perfect health,
and he's the most beautiful thing on this world to us.

My girlfriend, her sister and me are coming to the Red-sea again
this year (Hurghada), this will be my 3rd time and.......
coming to dive with Easy Divers, also for the 3rd time,I like
the people that work for Easy Divers, the instructors, the crew
on the boat and the people in the shop. Keep up the great work, and
we'll keep saving money to come back again, and again and again......
