Dive Into Adventure

  What a wonderful and relaxed diving holiday we had in this beautiful hotel, especially thanks to the very good care of the owner, Mohamed, and his staff! While... read more booking via email, I noticed the personal and friendly approach with which Mohamed communicates. Hotel: During the stay he continuously informs whether everything is o.k. and whether he can still mean something to us. The breakfast, lunch and dinner is authentic Egyptian, was always adequate, tasty and well taken care of. If you have any ideas or wishes in terms of menu, ask, and they really try to meet your wishes. The rooms are fine, nothing to complain about. When you come back from diving in the afternoon, it is good to stay and rest around the well-maintained and clean swimming pool. There is also shade, so you don't have to fry in the hot sun. And with a 1/2liter nice cold Stella Beer, you can keep it up there. Diving: Mohamed also organizes everything around diving himself and is, due to his years of experience, a perfect guide. There is also only diving in small groups. Because it was quiet at this time, at the end of September, in terms of divers, we were usually just the two of us (ideal). Usually diving is done from the shore, there are several beautiful dive sites in the region at a short distance, where there is really a lot to see of fish,...

Usually diving is done from the shore, there are several beautiful dive sites in the region at a short distance, where there is really a lot to see of fish, healthy soft coral, hard coral and other marine life.
On request, Mohammed can and wants to arrange everything, if you want to go further, other or specific places.

The city of Marsa Alam:
There are many buildings here that are still under construction. Due to the "Arab Spring" and the Corona years, a lot has come to a standstill, so that it looks like a construction site locally. But gradually it starts to pick up again and the work is picked up again. You can enter the city-center where there are various restaurants, shops, cafes, supermarkets, spice shops etc., so you can also get in touch with the local people and their daily lives.
Fortunately, as far as the crowds on the streets are concerned, it is far from comparable to the mass tourism and intrusive vendor shouting as in other cities.

In short: We prefer such a local hotel, run by a hard working friendly Egyptian and his people, far out over one of the resorts, which are springing up like mushrooms all along the coast and in which you have the feeling of being in a camp in the desert, and where you often dive in too large groups. My girlfriend and I have already decided to return to this place within a few years, partly because we have not yet encountered the beautiful dugong under water.

Mohammed and staff thank you, and see you soon!!

  We were really happy with all aspects of our visit to Marsa Alam. We would certainly stay in and dive with Blue Vision again. ☺  - I contacted Mohamed on whatsapp. He answered all my questions about the hotel and diving, gave me all the necessary information. When we arrived from Hurghada Nesreen and Vivien and... read more the young boy (we call him Mr.Muscle, he is skinny but strong ☺) welcomed us with big smiles. Our room was big and clean. Balcony was great to enjoy the sunset and pool view. Hot water was available. There was fridge in the room. (Fridge was a bit noisy at times but i just pulled the plug at night and plugged it back in the morning 🤣) Breakfast was enough for "before a dive"; local bread, cheese, eggs, jam and fruits, tea, coffee. Location of the hotel is good, close to the markets and restaurants.
We were very happy with our stay especially the good vibe of the hotel and of the staff. Thank you Mohamed and his team.
We had 2days/4dives from the shore. We wanted shore dives because the weather was not very good for boat and we wanted to look for dugongs. I am an instructor and been to different places in the world, this was the best operation i've seen. Very well organized in all aspects, very safe, also fun. There is a dive office in the hotel. We were given boxes for our equipment. (We had our own equipment but the rentals i've seen in the office were also in good shape)
Ahmed was always available on whatsapp for information and answers.
Our dive guide, Seyf met us right on time, did all the necessary paperwork and dive briefings in the dive center in the hotel. Then our equipment was put in a truck, tanks and other technical stuff was also in the truck. There was a 3 people team for the truck. We were taken to site by a minivan, a driver and our guide was in the minivan. When we arrived at the site everything was prepared for us in a very short time, including our Nitrox tanks and analyzers and adaptor for my int regulator.
Staff was friendly and helpful, Seyf was professional. Dives were really relaxing and slow. There was no rush. Seyf was attentive to us but didn't badger on anything. He was already slow, even slower when i was taking photos. He knew we wanted to look for dugongs and he planned a part of the dive to spend time where we are most likely to find dugongs. Big thanks to Ahmed, Seyf and the rest of the team.
Mohamed also arranged our transfer from Marsa Alam to Luxor. The transfer he arranged was really good; nice big, clean car and a friendly driver, Eid. Thanks for that too Mohamed.

We were really happy with all aspects of our visit to Marsa Alam; hotel, dive center, food, transfers. We would certainly stay in and dive with Blue Vision next time.
Thanks a lot for everything.

  Best experience!  - I had an amazing stay at Blue Vision! I spent three days diving and snorkeling with the hotel’s diving agency (Emperor divers agency): and I can only say it was... read more the best!! The dive sites were beautiful and saw a lot of dolphins (at Dolphin’s House). The owner of the hotel, Mo Sala, made sure I had the best stay and helped me with all of my questions (which were a lot haha). He arranged my transport to Luxor and helped me with lots of other things. Also the rest of the staff will put a smile on your face. 100% recommend this place! Thanks for an amazing time 🙂

  Good in all respects  - Nice hotel with quiet environment, located 5 minutes from the city center, Grocery stores, shops, restaurants. Marsa Alam is a small authentic town far from the tourist influx
Clean... read more and spacious room with large bathroom and a small balcony overlooking the pool!
Mo is here to help us at every turn.
And so I took advantage of several dives with the Center. The equipment is good quality.
The whole team is very pleasant, and concerned about our well-being!
The dives are superb, both by boat and from the beach.
You may be lucky enough to see sharks from the reefs ..!

  The hotel was suuuper nice and clean! We also did some diving’s and Mohammad (our instructor) was very professional and helpful!

Marsa Alam is an amazing place where you can find coral reef and lots of marine life just beside the land!
Thanks Mohammad for the incredible experience and hope to see you very soon!!

  The perfect place to enjoy the city and dive  - I spent several days at the Blue vision diving hotel in November 2024 with my mother and we had a great stay:
- The rooms are clean, air conditioned, new... read more bedding and the staff is adorable and helpful:)
- The pool is large and clean: it also allows you to do the first courses to pass the first level of diving
-The hotel is located in the city so restaurants and shops are a stone's throw away.

Little more:
The manager is very accessible, attentive and cares about your comfort.
The hotel also has a diving center so we can prepare everything as soon as we arrive and departures from dive trips are in front of the hotel.

In a word: I recommend 100%:)

  It was a wonderful experience, I love it very good hotel with best price in the town. Mattress are comfortable. Owner and worker very helpful. Very quite basic hotel... read more with white color, small swimming pool not heated.
Very close to the center. Big rooms.
Water pressure was very low in the shower.
Very safe place and no one will bother your privacy at all.
Has a very delicate restaurant.
Sure It will be my future spot in marsa alam if its has cheapest rate.

  Best place to stay in marsa alam.
The host is extremely kind, we have six fun dives with him, the animal we saw is pretty good!! We say big turtles... read more and he is super patient to us. The hotel is as good as it in pictures, the swimming pool is accessible but it is cold recent days.
We recommend him as your dive guide. He knows a lot!
