Excellent stay. The only downside was the weather. Due to strong winds, two days of diving were cancelled. This wasn't the organizer's fault, of course, but I think Decathlon could offer some compensation for a future trip.

The hotel could use a little updating, and the marina is only accessible by minibus. However, the staff is absolutely fantastic, and the dive sites we visited were wonderful.

Very satisfied with the trip thanks to the local team in Hurghada, Egypt. However, several aspects were lacking: A lack of precise information regarding the organization: taxi pick-up at the airport, hotel transfer upon return, and obtaining the visa on arrival. Unexpected additional fees were added, despite it being clearly stated that we would not have to pay anything extra. There was no direct contact with Decathlon should we need assistance during our stay. Given the significant cost of the trip, these shortcomings are unacceptable. If you wish to dive in Hurghada, I recommend booking directly with the local agency rather than Decathlon, which ultimately only served to connect us with them.

The diving trip was ideal, very well organized, the boat was great, and the staff provided professional instruction for all diving levels. Lunch was simple but very good. However, the hotel was very average, with aging and poorly maintained rooms. Our first room overlooked a construction site, and I was locked in the bathroom. We changed rooms because there was a water leak in the bathroom from the ceiling, and no one came to address the problem despite our complaint. The food buffet was too large and of average quality, with a lot of waste, which was very shocking. The hotel is really not what we were looking for when we traveled; we would have preferred something smaller and more family-run.

We are delighted to know that the organization, the quality of the dives, and the support on board the boat met your expectations.

Moreover, a change of accommodation is already planned for this trip, in order to guarantee better comfort for future participants.

We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience caused, and we thank you for bringing these points to our attention.

We hope that despite everything, you were able to enjoy the beauty of the seabed and that you will consider travelling with us again under better conditions.
