Dear Elite Crew,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a huge thank you for making my trip to Sharm absolutely incredible! Your hospitality was off the charts, and I felt like part of the family.  Everything was just amazing. The hotel, the boat, the dives… 
The memories I made are unforgettable, and it’s all thanks to you amazing folks. Can’t wait to come back. 

 Sending big hugs to everyone!

​Having come to dive using Elite through a dive buddy, my apprehension of day boat diving from Sharm was squashed.

From the point of booking, through to the actual trip I received excellent service. At the airport we were greeted with a clear Elite sign & delivered to our hotel. The return trip to airport was again efficient. The hotel booked through Elite was perfect & served it’s purpose well. The transfer to & from the Elite boat was air conditioned, comfortable & if a drop off on return not to our hotel was accommodated with ease.

Elite, has it’s own day boat which was clean, well maintained & comfortable. I had lunch on the boat each day. As I used my own equipment I only needed my tank (free Nitrox) & weights.

Overall, the trip was far better than I had expected. I will be coming back to use Elite again, I can highly recommend them.

The Team at Elite are a very welcoming and professional group. We had the most amazing diving experience with them. I was still learning and attained my AOW ticket with them, my daughters experienced their first dives with Elite, my eldest always remembers the diving and how supporting the team were to her. THANKYOU Elite.

My parents have been diving with Elite since I was 7-8 years old. By 11 I was a qualified junior open water diver. 10 years on Elite diving is the most comfortable and enjoyable group of people I have ever had the pleasure of diving with and generally sharing their company. The community they have created is unlike any other.

Another fantastic trip with Elite.
They look after us so well and make sure we are safe, happy and comfortable.
A family run business where you are welcomed as part of the Elite family. The diving is amazing with a variety of sites chosen over your holiday to give you as much variety as possible.

Elite have their own boat which goes out every day. The team in the boat are fantastic and make sure you are comfortable and happy with your kit. The dive guides are safety conscious, knowledgeable and fun making sure you understand the dive plan making each dive as stress free as possible.

​They are also there to meet you in the pub after diving and can point you in the right direction for places to eat or to help you if there is a kit malfunction.

I will be booking again soon 😀

Myself and friends, work and live in Cairo, and went for The Christmas Break 2020 to Sharm el Sheikh.  We were recommended to look up Elite Diving from a colleague who used to work as an Instructor for another dive center in Sharm. Obviously he already had local knowledge of the best dive centers to go with.

The Elite Diving team are some of the best people I have ever met. They love their jobs, and take them very seriously. They know how to have fun, laugh, be cool, and how to put you at ease. They helped me kit up, sat me on the back of the boat, Zenga grabbed hold of my tank, and ever so lovingly placed me into the water.

G was right there to grab me and to assure me I would be okay. He was patient, and made sure I was completely calm and prepared to dive before we ever left the boat ladder.

He taught me to take the regulator out of my mouth underwater, and how to put it back in clear the water out safely and breath again. When we swam out to open water he checked to make sure I was ready to go. With an ok sign, we took a breath and headed to another world.
Make sure you do your research, don’t trust your life and well being to just anyone. If you are ever in Sharm and want to experience life below the surface, look them up. You’ll be glad you did.

Elite diving is the best diving center ever!

My sons and I were diving with Elite Diving during last week for 3 days and all the three of us are more than satisfied! We are so happy that we chose this dive center. They are so professional, kind people and we felt so secure!

Valeria that we had our scuba refreshment with, made us feel very safe and she was very friendly and kind!

Marc that we were diving with the other days was very good! The boat was clean and fantastic. The food was good! The staff was so nice and helpful! I will highly recommend Elite diving! I will come back!

I've been diving with Elite for a few years now, without doubt the best dive centre that I’ve used, it is more like diving with another club rather than a centre. Over the years I have got to know both the dive team and office staff well and I am always treated exceptionally well. Nothing is too much trouble and on many occasions I have been the only guest just diving and not undertaking any courses, this has not affected the service offered and have been fortunate to dive with some of the most friendly and professional guides/instructors in the business. They are all a credit to the profession and each has their own passion be it underwater wildlife, photography, wrecks etc. They do not force their own likes/dislikes on you but tailor the dives to try to offer something to please all members of the group. Personally I just love diving and marine life so am happy to let the guide share their enthusiasm with me, so far I have never been disappointed and have never had a dive with Elite that has been anything less than impressive. 

I initially started diving with Elite as the owner, Alun, was the only instructor in Sharm who was willing to deliver a selection BSAC modules for me to complete my Sports Diver Qualification, others wanted to sell me a complete course which was unnecessary. This gave me an indication that they were more interested in delivering an exemplary customer service than just offering fixed packages. I loved my two days on the boat and was impressed with how everyone was treated, banter and the comradery between dive professionals and guests was something else. When it was time visit Sharm again, as a lone diver, the choice of centre was a no brainer. I have since returned many times, my last visit was in July 2018 and I have just booked to return in October. 

I am a fairly experienced diver that is more used to the UK than the warm waters of the Red Sea so I always look forward to visiting my friends in Sharm and leaving the bulky dry suit behind. To be honest I have not undertaken any further formal training in Sharm as most of my diving in the UK is either teaching, acting as a rescue diver or working towards advanced BSAC qualifications so I come to Sharm to chill out and just enjoy a few days of easy relaxed diving. I have observed G, Valeria, Mark, Jamie and Hassan teach and they all deliver training to the highest possible standard with great emphasis on safety. Having been lucky to dive with some of the most experienced instructors in the UK I can honestly say the team at Elite are up there at the top of their game, if I had children I would not hesitate in letting them learn with Elite. If, like me, you go on a diving holiday on your own don’t worry about being Billy no mates, guests and staff visit one or more local bars each night for a drink, food and some good banter.

They are one of the few centres in Sharm to own their own boat and it is a really impressive vessel. Alun has spared no expense, and used his years of experience, turning into one the best Day boats on the Red Sea. He has hand picked his crew to deliver the level of service he expects. The Captain can place the dive deck over the dive site with precision that puts many others to shame, the cook feeds us all very well and the crew constantly take care of all divers. My only gripe is that they can be to attentive at times, I know they are only trying to help but i like to set my kit up myself and have my own system for getting ready to dive. On the other hand if you are a new diver this assistance would be very much appreciated. 

Getting to Sharm from the UK can be a bit of a pain at the moment but I usually travel with Turkish Airlines via Istanbul as they fly from Birmingham and give a great luggage allowance, the included wine and beer on the flight is a bonus. The return layover in Istanbul seems a long time but if you get a visa you can have a city tour (free with Turkish) or make your own way into the city. Some guests from the South fly with Egypt Air from London via Cairo and the transfer time is less, but for me the flights from Birmingham are more convenient. Insurance can be arranged through Westfield and they are happy to put in writing that they cover travel via Sharm airport unlike some companies. Hotels are available to suit all tastes and pockets, me, having some Welsh blood in me, chooses a cheap but clean establishment. If you have any questions Moyra, Alun’s wife and Boss , or Angie in the office will give unbiased advice, just email them and you will receive a very prompt reply

Look forward to seeing you all again soon

My kids (14 and 22) and I had two wonderful days with Elite Diving. From the very first email inquiry over five great dives to the sad farewell at the dive centre these guys 'n girls totally lived up to their company name. It goes without saying that they know, what they're doing and that both gear and boat is of high standard. And while diving in the Red Sea is incredible in itself, Angie, Valeria, Mark, G and the boat crew totally lifted our experience from good to great. Even the normally rather boring dive site briefings was very fun and interesting. We will most definitely go diving with Elite again, and I can only recommend all other divers, beginners or pros, to do the same. See you again, guys - next time for courses (and hopefully a whale shark).
