Your competent partner from the beginner to professional divers. It would be a pleasure to welcome you to Safaga on the Red Sea in the heart of Egypt. You can get the most information about your hobby here (diving). Since 02-01-07 the freedom diver centre is in German-Egypt hand. We can promise you the most diving pleasure in Safaga. Salem-Express, Panorama-Riff or Abu Kafan are some of the favourite divesites around Safaga. Also you can make trips to Elphinstone or Abu-Dabab with us. Just ask us about the special trips and offers. All those facilities are close to the Safaga hotel "Toubia". Also within 100 km you can watch dugongs, turtles and sting rays. You can book half day and full day trips with a boat and tours starting at the hotel or you can dive right from our beautiful beach, no need to carry your equpiment too far. There are always reef sharks, turtles, and dolphins around. Divers who want to shoot pictures under water will always have a sensational view. We have something for everyone, from the professional diver to the first time diver. We can offer you an inexpensive and comfortable vacation (with us there is no mass diving, but is individual). At night you can join us in the Beach Bar for BBQ or go out for a drink to the "Diverhouse" close to the "Toubia hotel".

The guys at Safaga's FreedomDivers were more than helpful to properly organize before hand our arrival/departure in/from Hurghada airport, our stay with Toubia Hotel and the dives.
The boat dives were all very well planned (although always a surprise to where we would go...), the crew great and the food delicious.
They also provide all type of diving equipment that you can trust.
I would like to thank Diko for his warmth and his acolytes for the services.

très bon accueil à l'arrivée par Nathalie qui se soucie , outre de la plongée , mais de tout votre séjour ( hôtel , transfert).
matériel impeccable. sécurité respectée.
les plongées se déroulent à la journée sur un bateau confortable.
la proximité des hôtels permet d'arriver à pieds en 5 mn à l’embarcadère .
j'ai été très agréablement surprise par la qualité des coraux , n’étant pas venue en Égypte depuis longtemps.
4. ORCA Dive Club Soma Bay

The Orca Dive Club Soma Bay is located at the 5-star hotel Breakers. From there, it is a short walk over the bridge to the drop-off reef at Ras Abu Soma. The house reef promises spectacular dives. But the area around Safaga has of course also other highlights. They are accessed with three boats. Worth a visit and also easy to dive for less experienced divers are the inner reefs around Tobia. Highlights include trips to the Panorama reef, Abu Kafan or a dive to the wreck of "Salem Express". The divers have access to 20 different dive sites overall

I have dived for over 15 years in Egypt and I have never felt so unwelcome walking in a dive centre. The dive guides were nice guys but the customer service in the centre from the staff who worked there was ice cold from the moment I walked in. The lady who initially dealt with me almost put me off diving with them completely.
The staff at Orca El Gouna were so much friendly in comparison next time I will go back there.
Polite customer service goes a long way even if you are a very busy dive centre .

I was diving at scuba world at the middle of January but also last year. Everything was modernized, the equipment was in good condition and they also have showers. The instructors/guides are frendly and they speak good English and german. The manager is kind and easy going, and at the end i even received a gitf from hin(thanks Fred). The diving sites are quite close from the base and you need maximum a 15 min drive with the boat. Some tours at Salem Express would have been nice but at that time was not to many people willing to go there.
Keep it like this!!!
Kind regards from Munich

Kitesurfing spot & kite school in Egypt, Safaga, Soma Bay.
Reviewed By Nicole W
After deciding on a solo holiday I thought I would learn how to kitesurf. The team were welcoming and accommodating. Roma was my main IKO instructor. I give his enthusiasm and commitment to my learning 5 stars. The kite station became my base for the week and the guys my new friends in Egypt. The team speak English and German fluently. The location is perfect and encourage you to visit.
