We spent 6 days diving & snorkeling with Sea Dancer Dive center. There were 8 of us, 2 divers & the rest snorkelers. I am an advanced diver with over 950 dives in 40 countries. I was most impressed by the level of service we recieved here and how competent, safe and friendly the dive staff have been. Everyone in the group has a fantastic time. We did shore dives, boat dives as well as one full day desert Safari. I would highly recommend Sea Dancer for any one interested in having a great time in Dahab, the value as well can't be beat.

My wife and I did a three hour snorkel trip with Ashraf to the Lagoon just south of Lighthouse area. It was fantastic!!!!
The staff was diligent about coronavirus protocol, right down to having us pick our own sterilized pen from a bin to sign our waivers. We got in a truck and drove the short 10 minute drive to the lagoon and the driver watched our stuff while Ashraf took us snorkeling.
Ashraf was an excellent guide, showing us exactly how to enter the reef and helping us with our gear. His knowledge and passion were extraordinary.
After an hour plus viewing the most amazing under sea life, we had Bedouin tea and a snack by the water then returned to the hotel.
I would highly recommend Sea Dancer to anyone at any level of snorkeling proficiency. One could navigate to the Lagoon without a guide but finding this reef in the few hundred meter coast would not be possible without an experienced guide.
Thank you Sea Dancer and Ashraf!!!

I did a few trips with Sea Dancer (blue lagoon was my favourite) as well as an intro dive. The company has a spectacular mix of professionalism and relaxed vibes! I always felt welcomed and involved but most importantly, especially in regards to the intro dive, I felt safe and confident I was in the hands of the best. I did my intro dive with Ashraf and not only did I feel like I made a legitimate friend but also felt confident he knew what he was doing and made sure I had a great dive but also that I was always safe and always confident. I'm not great in the water, but he was a spectacular dive master, so I would personally recommend him but all my friends have said the same about all the divers there. It isn't the cheapest, but it's the place with the best value while maintaining HIGH standards for safety which is exactly what you want!

If you want to observe the beauty of underwater and enjoy the outstanding landscapes around you this place is a perfect go to! We’ve been using this great travel center for several times already and each one of those visits made us realize that they are the best in the market.
I’d like to thank a lot the owner of the Sea Dancer, Ashraf, who personally planed all our excursions and took care of our group all the way through the trip. Everything was scheduled perfectly regarding the time and the weather. All in all we’ve got a chance to go snorkeling in the mangroves of Nabq, relax under the full moon by the campfire on the beach and wake up by the sea only to appreciate the magic of a sunrise. Thanks to all the warm welcoming and attention from the owner we had a possibility to forget about all the worries and jump into the world of pleasures and fascinating beauty. The sailing trip with the adventurous snorkeling was speechless and the homemade duck cooked by Ashraf in his own special way was very finger licking. It felt like we became family at last as it was very heartwarming vacation. Thanks again for the terrific time of relaxation and comfort. Once you get to know this place you never want to leave. And when you do leave the countdown for your next visit starts immediately. And all of this was only possible because of the people that work there. They are 100% percent of what makes this place perfect for you!

I have been diving for twenty years and this center has been one of the nicest ones I have encountered so far. The main underlying reason for that qualification is the authenticity of the people that work there, from the guy mopping the floor, all the way up to the manager. This place has a 'customer friendliness' which does not have the 'plastic atmosphere' that you sometimes see in other places. Besides that, they really know what they are talking about. That a PADI IDC Course Director is aligned with this center is of course a huge bonus.
My requests and wishes are a bit different than the average diver, as I am deeply into underwater photography, but everyone involved did their best to make things happen for me. Nothing was too much, and within a relatively short time frame I could visit the dive sites that are best for the kind of photography I do, and bring my skills to the next level through various courses and several refreshers.
I cannot think of any improvements for this center. Except maybe manager Steve's taste of music. Luckily the sound does not carry into the water. ;-)
As you could expect giving the above, I highly recommend this center: you won't be disappointed diving with them, either as a beginner or as an experienced diver.

I first heard of Sea Dancer thanks to a guide who recommended them for their professionalism.
Once I got there I was not disappointed. What I loved about my experience:
- safety: Equipment was well maintained and the staff paid attention to my security.
-Pedagogy: the learning process is gradual. First you go through theory, then you move on to practice before excercising in open waters. I never felt that we were rushing through exercises.
-Staff: the whole team was very welcoming and fun to hang around. I particularly recommend Hamada, my instructor who was supportive, pushy when exercises needed to be done and yet joky.
I had never dived before and love it now...thanks to Sea Dancer.
İ would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

This is definitely the most professional place to learn diving. My wife and I made the advanced course and we had our own instructor for a very fair and cheap price. It's not the cheapest in Dahab, but you have the best quality and the best service. Our instructor was extremely professional, our equipment was almost new (and pretty cool), the choice of diving places was just perfect, and we had the opportunity of learning in some of the most beautiful places for diving in the world. Sea Dancer's team is a mix of western and arab professional divers, which makes it pretty fun and real.

Completed my Advanced Open Water with Tariq and did 2 recreational dives with Ahmed at Sea Dancer and every aspect of the experience was professional. All staff are incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. I hired all the gear from here and it was in excellent condition. There’s a great upstairs space for doing study and chatting through knowledge reviews.
The actual diving was fantastic - obviously the location helps but I was offered incredible variety (I went to Lighthouse, The Island,The Canyon and The Blue Hole) and felt well supported throughout the dives. Both instructors found loads of interesting species and clearly knew the dive sites very well.
My daughter (9 year old) did her bubble maker at the same time and has raved about how much fun she had and is already nagging to get back to do her Open Water when she turns 10!
Prices are competitive and a final bonus was them helping me arrange my PCR test at the end of my holiday!
I cannot wait to get back to dive at this centre!

it was my first trip to Dahab. I decided to get my PADI certification, after doing my research and asking for recommendation from the locals as well, I decided to do both the open water and the advanced open water with Sea Dancers. I consider it to be the right decision indeed.
Sea Dancers has one of the most experience and passionate dive masters around, super profissional and very welcoming. Sea Dancers does not garantee the cheapest prices but indeed they garantee top quality course and fun dives!

This dive center became our second home in Dahab. I would recommend it to anyone from the experienced or the first time diver.
The top floor is a fantastic place to relax after your dives.
The top qualities I would describe the instructors and staff are patient, safety oriented, kind people with a constant sense of humor. The people here love what they do and have been happily doing it for many years. They plan your dives with care in respect to each person's skill level and air consumption. The instructors are kind a pacient. The pricing is transparent and let's you rent gear but only be charged for the days you dive. Gear is generally just included in the price.
Everything is very well organized. Oxygen is taken on every dive. The gear is in great shape and is constantly checked and maintained. We will never choose another shop in Dahab.
