Desk notes
How a Sharm week actually reads
Bay
Naama is a walk. The south is a transfer.
If the week is dinner and a second tank without a taxi, the desk has to sit on the bay you sleep on.
First tank
Sand is a gift. A park ticket is not.
A house reef is for buoyancy and night dives. Tiran and Ras Mohammed are the days people fly for.
Jetty
A walkable pier buys back an hour.
The main port transfer is in the small print. It costs the hour you thought you had after the second dive.
Liveaboard
Nights at sea are a different product.
We do not score a cabin as a failed hotel. If the week is offshore, the boat is the house.
Ticket
A CDC desk does not owe you a roof.
Career weeks book sleep elsewhere. That is not a worse holiday — it is not a holiday campus.
Park day
Two parks sit on the same day-boat map.
Most Sharm desks sell Ras Mohammed and the Straits of Tiran. The wreck is a longer boat, not a house-reef morning.
The ten
Dossiers
01Naama
Camel Dive Club & Hotel
- Hotel, restaurant, and boats on one campus
- Jetty walk from the rooms — not the main port
- Published cap: six divers per guide
02Naama beach
Oonas Dive Club
- Hotel on the sand — house reef in front of the desk
- Strong for first dives and confined-water work
- No published six-guest cap or Green Fins Gold lead
03Naama
Red Sea Diving College
- Career desk — Open Water through instructor tracks
- Sultana Building waterfront, not a hotel campus
- Best when the brief is a ticket, not a stay
04Marina
Emperor Divers
- Chain booking, transfers, and a jetty by the hotel
- House reef on site — useful for check-out dives
- You sleep in a partner hotel, not a dive-built campus
05Shark’s Bay
Umbi Sharks Bay
- Quiet bay, house reef, boats from a private pier
- Courses listed at five students per instructor
- Not walkable Naama — a different week, not a worse one
06Sharm / Dahab
Circle Divers
- Two-town flexibility if the week splits Sinai
- IDC path and technical options on the same brand
- No single pedestrian campus on one plot
07At sea
King Snefro Fleet
- Nights on the water — Tiran, Ras Mohammed, wrecks
- Different product: no hotel corridor, no Naama walk
- Wins the week if you do not want a shore campus
08Naama resort
SUBEX Sharm
- Swiss-run desk on a resort beach, house reef included
- Night and dawn dives on the house reef listed as free
- You are a hotel guest first; the campus is not purpose-built
09Garden Reef
Divers’ Lodge
- Tech and instructor path inside a large resort
- Useful if the week is decompression, not dinner on a roof
- Scale of the hotel is the opposite of a Naama boutique
10Om El Sid
TGI Diving Sharm
- Same brand in other seas — useful if you already know TGI
- Hill location, not a walkable Naama campus
- A known network desk, not a walkable campus
How we score
Five things a house must answer
Is the bed, the kit, and the breakfast on the same plot, or do you taxi to a hotel desk?
Do boats leave from a walkable pier, or from the main Sharm port with a transfer?
What is the published cap of guests per guide — and is it a hard number?
Green Fins, SSI Diamond, PADI CDC / IDC — public ranks, not slogans.
Holiday campus, house-reef school, or liveaboard. We do not force one shape on every row.
Questions
Questions we get
No. Diving Tours is an editorial desk in Malta. Each Visit button opens that house’s own page. Contracts, cards, and boat places stay with them.
A house reef is a walk-in morning. A day-boat week is Tiran, Ras Mohammed, and the wrecks. Some houses do both. The scorecard filters for the shape you actually want.
No. These are ten houses with a public site and a clear product. Hotel-desk brands that only exist as a counter inside an all-inclusive are outside this issue.
Sinai Divers is a Red Sea name, but the live desks we can point to are not a Sharm campus. This issue stays in Sharm El Sheikh.
Year-round, with the cleanest vis and the least wind in spring and autumn. August is hottest on the boat; January is the 5 mm month. The parks stay open. We do not sell a season package.
Most hotel-desk brands and some training houses. Camel, Emperor, and Umbi publish a walkable jetty or private pier. If a transfer to the marina is in the small print, it costs an hour you thought you had for a second dive.
Desk
Write if a row is wrong
If a house has moved, closed a jetty, or changed a published ratio, tell the desk. We correct the card. We still do not sell a dive.
