I embarked on a 14-day boat tour, with 2 dives daily. Gelgel enhanced my buoyancy skills remarkably, guiding us through drift and deep dives. We explored the pristine underwater scenery at Erg Abu Ramada and encountered sea cows and turtles in Marsa Alam. Navigating narrow caves, we marveled at vibrant coral and sealife. Gelgel's multitasking ability, from guiding to spotting elusive fish and capturing moments, was astounding. I cherished every diving moment and felt secure throughout. The inclusive equipment and the abundance of stunning media came at a reasonable price. A 5-star recommendation indeed!
