What divers say
“I had an amazing diving experience in Hurghada specially with this company 🤿
A special thanks to Captain Ahmed for his professionalism, patience, excellent teaching, and incredible skills. He was very supportive and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. His way of teaching and explaining everything was excellent.
I highly recommend trying diving in Hurghada, especially with this company. If you’re thinking about trying diving for the first time, don’t hesitate — you’re in great hands!
Thank you, for an unforgettable experience! 🤿❤️”
“I did my Open Water course with 71 Guardians, and it was a truly great experience, especially since I was afraid of the water! Everything was taught step by step, and I even learned frog kicks and how to achieve perfect buoyancy. My instructor was super patient and understanding throughout the whole course. I also got to see beautiful corals and colorful fish underwater. Everything went smoothly, and I had so much fun! I’ll definitely be coming back for more diving and to do my Advanced course.”
“Tried diving for the first time with 71 Guardians and honestly didnt expect to enjoy it this much! The guys made me feel comfortable from the start and it was such a cool experience. Already planning to come back to Hurghada in December to start my Open Water course. Looks like I found a new hobby. Special thanks to Ahmed.”
“Really enjoyed my Open Water course! I learned so much, especially how to control my buoyancy, keep a good trim and improve my air consumption. At the begining I didnt realise how much these small things matter, but now I feel way more comfortable underwater. Big thanks to Ahmed for being patient and explaining everything so well!”
“The Deep Diver Specialty with 71 Guardians was a really valuable experience. I learned so much about deep dive planning, managing air consumption, understanding nitrogen narcosis, and staying aware of depth and time. The course helped me feel much more confident and understand the importance of proper planning and safety on deeper dives. Great instructors and a lot of useful knowledge to take with me on future dives!”
“The Nitrox course with 71 Guardians was a fantastic learning experience! I came away with a much deeper understanding of enriched air, gas analysis, dive planning, and the science behind diving with Nitrox. What impressed me most was how much valuable knowledge was shared beyond just the basics. It really makes a difference learning from people who know their stuff and genuinely care about helping you become a better, more knowledgeable diver. Definitely worth it!”
