My partner and I have been diving for almost 20 years in different parts of the globe (mainly Oceania, Asia, Latin America) and Diving & Discovery made our first visit to the Red Sea truly memorable :) It is really an outstanding diving center.
We were staying in JAZ Fanara hotel, 5 min walk from there.
You immediately feel in safe hands, the dive shop owners & staff are super professional, the dive instructors are top notch, the facility included Air filling station are spotless, the equipment for rent is excellent.
I highly recommend this dive shop for experienced divers but also beginners.
There is a private pool available for training and the house reef is one of the best in Sharm. They also organize boat trips to Tiran and Ras Mohammed National park.
They provide Nitrox for free, so we took the opportunity to get our PADI Nitrox certifications while there.
Special thanks to Khalid and Filippo our star dive guides for the 2 boat trip days, and to the owners Giusy and Raffaelle for being so accommodating & helpful. A pleasure to dive with you guys, we will definitely be back.

I have dived in various parts of the world over the last 15 years (Red Sea,
Caribbean & Indian Ocean) and I believe this diving centre is one of the very best. Raffaele and his team provided an excellent service, their equipment is in great condition and Khalid is top class instructor and was very patient with my grandson who was doing his refresher course after 4 years lapse of diving, I will definitely take my other grandchildren there so they can learn scuba diving, they also offer free transport to/from the hotel if need it. I must also thank the general staff for their assistance getting me in and out of the water, as I have doggie knees and I am starting to feel my age and their help was greatly appreciated.
Thank you all at “Diving & Discovery” hopefully we will see again soon.

I recently completed Advanced Open Water Diver and Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver certifications with Diving & Discovery with Khaled as my private instructor.
I cannot rate Diving & Discovery highly enough. Their team are extremely knowledgeable, and they prioritise the safety and comfort of their guests above all else. Their equipment is in great condition and I was provided with everything I needed for the diving.
I was quite nervous about diving as I had very little prior experience, but Khaled ensured that we took the diving at an appropriate pace while also helping me grow and improve my diving capabilities over the course of the week. He always took me through the dive plan for the day so I knew what to expect and had no surprises, which set my mind at ease.
Khaled provided regular feedback after each dive, so that I could work on areas that needed improvement, while also highlighting the things that I'd done well to keep my motivation up.
The dive sites (house reef + Ras Mohammed Park) are fantastic, and having the fantastic house reef so close to the dive centre (2 minute walk) was very convenient.
Thank you to Khaled, Raffa, Giusy, Magdi and the team for a wonderful experience.

One of the best Diving Centres I have experienced.
Raffaela and his team provided an excellent service, they met all my requirements and requests.Facilities and equipment at the Diving Centre were very good. The instructors were top class improving my diving skills and understanding of scuba diving theory. My dives were interesting and well managed, safety was a top priority. Also I must thank the general staff for their assistance getting me in and out of the water, I am starting to feel my age and their help was greatly appreciated.

Very good dive centre. Small groups (max 4 per guide), professionally run and very modern. Probably one of the best dive centres I have seen. Very friendly and professional.

I have no hesitation recommending Diving & Discovery to anyone, from novice through to expert. We were staying at Jaz Fanara and I first visited the dive centre at the hotel but wanted to check out D&D before deciding. My mind was made up pretty much as soon as I arrived at D&D, and never looked back … need I say more!?
Well I will...
My wife and I have dived in various parts of the world over the last 10 years and we both agree that D&D have been one of the very best, actually probably the best overall.
Rafa and his team are extremely professional with a clear passion for diving and superb customer service. The attention to detail was first class, including the initial warm welcome I received on my first visit to the shop, the helpful and friendly staff, the excellent instructors and the instructor/guide to diver ratio of max 1:4 (only for experienced divers), but usually less. The amazing house reef on their doorstep is also a massive bonus!
I felt very comfortable allowing my 8-year son to do his first Bubblemaker experience with D&D, which he absolutely loved. He had a practice session in the pool at the dive centre first to get used to the Scuba gear and then dived on the house reef for over half an hour, and I was able to accompany them at no extra cost. My son and I also did night snorkelling with D&D, which was awesome!
D&D is only a short walk from Jaz Fanara and well worth it, plus they offer free transport to/from the hotel if wanted.
I could say much more about why you should choose D&D but … just do it!
Thank you so much guys!!

As professional PADI Dive Master, and diving for more than 13 years in every corner of the world, I haven not yet met as professional, as dedicated, as passionate, as hospitable, as, as, the list is long.... dive center in my life.
The staff from the smallest crew to the owners are so friendly and professional in what they do. The most important they KNOW what they are doing.
Professionalism starts from the moment you contact them for booking.
I was accompanied with 2 dive instructors throughout my 5 days stay: Manu and Khaled, both high degree caliber instructors. The briefings are so well prepared before the dives.
I can write pages here, but last thing I want to emphasize is the quality of air they provide in the dive thanks... almost 0% humid free. And these guys are ISO certified!
I would highly recommend Diving & Discovery if you are concerned about your safety and pleasure.
Big thumbs up for Rafael & Majdi for their dedication and input to the diving industry and to the service they provide to the enthusiastic divers.

My first scuba dive together with my son (11y)
Was super professional, calm and very safe!
This is not like most diving ripoffs in the area, this is serious and very professional!
I can 100% recommend!
Thanks Rafa and the team!

Best diving experience you can wish for - ultra professional, experienced and friendly team. The diving center is super well equipped with only the best gear and an incredibly clean and nice station.
The dives on their house reef and out with the boat were some of the most breathtaking we ever had. With our dive instructor Cristophe we had the best time and felt perfectly safe all the time.
One can feel the love, passion and respect Raffaele and the whole team have for the ocean and its inhabitants.
Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience. Keep up the amazing work, you were the best diving center we ever had!

Hi I hope to dive in Sharm el Sheikh for my Birthday this month! I hope to arrive in Sharm el Sheikh with the 18th or 19th-22nd. I have not yet booked a resort. I am not a certified diver the person I’m coming with is. I hope to do my 1st certification there. Are you PADI? Can you help me figure this out? I have to book by Saturday. Are you at or affiliated with a resort there? Rates? Time to achieve certification? Certification options? Please help me celebrate my Birthday!
