Great Diving Center! It is really amazing not just in offering boat diving in the main Red Sea's diving areas. They are so well organised: more teams each of them having very competent member of staff at each other ch level /skills. The main focus is offering the great experience as safest as possible so Divers might be asked sometimes to be tested to avoid further risk in group diving. Diving equipment is also the top and diving groups are not too big

I had an incredible time completing my PADI Open Water Course with Instructor Tito. From the very first lesson, Tito was patient, professional, and made me feel completely at ease in the water. His clear instructions, deep knowledge, and friendly approach made learning both fun and exciting. The dive sites were absolutely breathtaking, and thanks to Tito’s guidance, I gained confidence with every dive. By the end of the course, I felt fully prepared and excited to continue my diving journey. If you're looking to get certified in sharm elsheikh, I highly recommend learning with Tito—he's simply the best! Can't wait to come back for my Advanced Open Water Course!

A huge thank you to Instructor ZAKI! I signed up for three full-day boat trips and had an amazing experience on every dive. We always discovered something fascinating and learned new things about the sea and marine life. If you dive with THE WAVE DIVING and Instructor ZAKI, you're guaranteed to leave with a big smile! The boat crew was fantastic—professional, friendly, and very accommodating. The online booking process was also smooth, with quick responses. Thanks again, and I can't wait for more dives!

I reached out to The Wave Diving Center a few months before our holiday to explore options for an AOWD course and a try dive for a non-diver. The team was incredibly helpful, providing all the details and options ahead of our trip. After his try dive, my husband decided to continue and complete his Open Water Diver Certification. While he was doing his training dives, I joined other instructors for guided dives, including several shore dives and a fantastic boat trip to Ras Mohammed National Park. The boat was well-organized, and the crew was amazing—always ready to assist with fins and wetsuits, making the experience even more enjoyable!
