Hello
We are staying at Sultan Gardens in december for a week.
Have read mixed reports on the hotel dive centre - Shamandura. There will be 2 adults diving (OW & RD) and 2 children (17 & 14) undertaking the Open water course so we want a dive centre close by as we understand many centres will arrange free transfers but dont want the kids to too far way from those remaining at the hotel.
Any dive centres out there that can accomodate us? Anyone know the neighbouring hotel dive centre names? All advice welcome, Thank You,
not too sure where the sultan is in relation to hilton sharks bay but im sure they would arrange transfers . There is an excellent house reef there and as well as the usual day long dive boats they also have a rib boat that takes you to local sites along the coast there .

Gary I did hear last year that emperor were now at Hilton sharks bay and I did check with them before we went but I can confirm it was still sinai dive club last April and that Emperor told me they use the reef there for some of their diving . But again im sure emperor would collect you too
I dived with Emporer divers in July and would thoroughly recommend them. They arrange daily pick ups from your hotel to take you down to the jetty at naama bay or to sharks bay, wherever you are diving from that day. They have umpteen boats and many experienced dive guides and instructors as well as a DM to do the donkey work!
My husband and his brother decided on using Shamandura dive centre after all as it was so convenient, they were 2 mins walk from our room and right on the beach (where the rest of the family stayed for the days). The team there were very helpful, guides excellent, no problems with equipment or language and gave a substantial discount at the end due to the quantity of dives and packages booked through them. Would use again if we return to Sultan Gardens hotel.
Excellent . Thanks for letting us know dannic. with 4 divers in our family it is a huge expense for us so it great to have another good recommendation that is willing to offer a substantial discount
