SUBEX Sahl Hasheesh - Hurghada

The team at SUBEX Sahl Hasheesh are the real deal if you’re looking to get seriously good at diving, or maybe introduce the kids to it properly. We love their rigorous, Swiss-influenced approach – it’s less about churning out certifications and more about building genuinely confident divers. Think thorough briefings, meticulous gear checks, and instructors who clearly live and breathe the Red Sea. They’re excellent for beginners, particularly with their Discover Scuba Diving programs, which don't feel rushed at all. For those ready to advance, their specialty courses are taught with an attention to detail that we rarely see elsewhere. The Sahl Hasheesh location itself is a bit removed from the main Hurghada hustle, which means less crowded boats and a more relaxed pace. We've often found ourselves on unhurried dives to sites like Abu Ramada or Gotta Abu Ramada, spotting everything from the resident napoleon wrasse at Erg Somaya to the shimmer of glassfish schooling in crevices. The boat crews are seasoned, always ready with a hot cup of tea after a morning dive. While they don’t offer equipment rental directly, the quality of their instruction more than makes up for it. This is our pick for divers who value quality training and a quieter, more focused dive experience away from the crowds.
