Cinderella Eldawley Diving Center - Sharm el-Sheikh
The team at Cinderella Eldawley Diving Center are a solid pick if you’re looking for a reliably friendly and efficient PADI outfit in Sharm. We love that they run their own boats, which gives them a real edge in terms of scheduling flexibility compared to some of the larger, more generic operations. This means you’re often heading out when the bigger crowds are still having breakfast, or getting back when the sites are emptying out. We’d suggest chatting with them directly about what you’re hoping to see – they’re good at matching divers with the right boat and guide for things like thresher sharks at Ras Mohamed or the wrecks further north. We’ve always found their kit to be well-maintained, and they have a relaxed vibe that’s perfect for new divers or those getting back in the water after a break. Their guides know the local reefs like the back of their hand, often pointing out those smaller critters – nudibranchs, stonefish, crocodilefish – that you might swim straight past otherwise. If you’re a photographer, tell them; they’re usually happy to slow down and let you compose your shots. It's a comfortable, no-fuss centre that just gets you diving, and diving well.
