Instructors including Kareem, Moaaz, Sam, Sayed, and Salah have helped nervous first-timers feel at ease.

“The reef is absolutely beautiful! Full of life and colors. There are two stops where you can enjoy the underwater life as well as one for the White Island. The guide and the stuff of the boat (Casablanca) are insanely helpful. I had some issues with coming to the water because of the fear of deep Waters, however no one hesitated to encourage me with the big smile and kind words. Finally thanks to them I got in and made beautiful memories :) we loved the trip!”
