We had an amazing group of people, and the trip gave us the opportunity to experience the very best of Egypt by both land and sea. From exploring ancient temples and standing in front of the pyramids to diving the breathtaking Red Sea, every day was filled with unforgettable moments. One of the highlights was Rachel's photography. She took so many incredible underwater photos of everyone throughout the trip, giving us memories we will be able to look back on for years to come. Her attention to detail, organization, and passion for creating a great experience truly set this trip apart. I am so grateful for this adventure and would highly recommend Force E and Rachel to anyone considering dive travel. Egypt was an experience I will never forget.

I thought I had stowed our gear properly---when I could not open my one bag, I felt embarrassed. Jeff did not make me feel bad and helped us get our gear out.

We also look forward to a night dive there. Professional and friendly service. Everyone had a smile and did not rush their customers. Looking forward to our relationship so we can take advantage of our diving gems. P.S. The Home Depot for diving!

He took extra care with our son being patient and repetitive until he mastered the safety skills. Katie helped out mama bear with breathing and buoyancy. Hubby was previously certified and did his refresher alongside us. He also picked out our gear like a kid in a candy store. We appreciate the hospitality and look forward to many more underwater adventures.

I am a brand new diver and had never dove in the ocean. From the very 1st contact with Kevin at…read moreUnderwater Explorers I felt like I had made the right choice. Kevin assured me via email that I would be in good hands and he and his crew followed through on his promise. During the trip out to the site he explained things that would be different from freshwater diving and went over safety procedures as well as what we would be seeing underwater. Once underwater he monitored me and pointed out things too see but at the same time let it be my dive, not just me chasing him around. For those of you who are experienced divers he has a style for you also. He gets you to the site, provides you with a safe and friendly experience but lets you do your own thing. You tow a flag and they monitor it. You hit the surface and they pick you up. If you need something he and his crew are there but he doesn't try to smother you.

do not recommend diving with this operator due to multiple serious safety concerns, poor…read moreorganization, and unprofessional customer service. I prepaid for a two-tank Nitrox dive approximately one week before the trip. When I arrived at the boat, there were no Nitrox tanks available for me despite my reservation and prepayment. Brad repeatedly counted tanks and passengers but could not determine why my tanks were missing. It was eventually discovered that another diver had taken the tanks I had reserved and paid for, set up his gear, and used them without having a prior reservation or payment. Rather than reclaiming the tanks that had been reserved for me, Brad arranged to use tanks that a friend happened to have in the back of his car. These replacement tanks raised several concerns. They were not properly labeled, had no visible inspection stickers, and there was no way for me to know when they had last been inspected, serviced, or how they had been filled. One tank had a damaged O-ring that required replacement before it could be used. Additionally, the replacement tanks were not secured when brought aboard. One fell over onto the deck, causing the valve handle to break off. This seemed to me that the handle had been corroded. I was also inconvenienced by having to reconfigure my gear to accommodate a steel cylinder instead of the tank type I had reserved. After the first dive, I set up for the second dive and discovered that my replacement tank contained only 2,500 PSI rather than a full fill. When I brought this to Brad's attention, his response was dismissive and unprofessional. I explained that I had reserved and paid for full Nitrox tanks and expected to receive what I had purchased. Rather than addressing the issue professionally, he became confrontational and aggressively stated that he would "comp the tanks." The most concerning issue occurred after the second dive. The boat began departing the pickup location while two divers were still in the water, visible at the surface with their dive flag. Brad had to shout to the captain that divers were still in the water, forcing the captain to stop and reverse course to retrieve them. Starting the engine and moving the vessel while divers are still in the water is an extremely serious safety concern and could have resulted in severe injury or worse. The trip concluded with passengers being required to climb approximately five feet from the boat to the dock using an unstable ladder, creating yet another safety concern. Overall, this operation appeared poorly organized and inadequately prepared for foreseeable issues. There were no readily available backup tanks, equipment handling practices were questionable, and customer service was lacking. Most importantly, several situations raised significant safety concerns that no diver should have to experience. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this operator.

Recently my girlfriend purchased a Groupon for SCUBA Network's Open Water Dive Certification course...this was $179. Upon going into the shop to begin the process, we were informed that on top of the original Groupon purchase, there was an ADDITIONAL $260 to pay. This is for the PADI online course, wetsuit rental, purchase of an underwater writing tablet, and a boat dive. Do the math....thats $440 for a $179 Groupon. Now I know scuba diving is expensive, but surprising customers with $260 on top of the original purchase is wrong. There is no indication of extra $260.00 on Groupon.
