Hello Sharmin
I’m writing to thank you for organising our holiday to Sharks Bay last week. The holiday was fabulous, the dive centre, hotel, dive guides and dive sites were all amazing, nothing was too much trouble. We ended up being able to do 7 days boat diving and a night dive, and despite being on three different boats during the week, each crew and dive guide were brilliant. Alex, the Dive Centre Manager was helpful, as were the reception staff. All in all, this diving holiday was a return to diving for me after a period of not diving and it couldn’t have been any better. Thank you for organising this for us, we would be delighted to recommend Sharks Bay Umbi and Oonas Divers to any other divers.
With kind regards
Nina

I have just arrived home from my first stay at Umbi Dive Village and I would like to thank everyone at umbi for a great time, I can’t believe that somewhere can keep such a relaxed atmosphere in amongst all the holiday chaos of the Sharm area. I was already booked for a return visit in May and since returning home I have also booked with Oonasdivers for August and if work allows I will probably come a couple more times before christmas and might do my rescue diver course.

Hi all,
Really enjoyed our stay in November 2011. This was the second time we stayed at Sharks Bay. And again a great experience. Hope to see you again this year.
Cheers,
Caroline & Edwin
Just a quick line to let you know how we got on with Freedom V and the crew.
To sum it up, the week was just perfect! The crew were superb – all hats off to Mohammed who once again managed to cook THE most amazing fresh food every day. The weather was great which meant we could finally dive the Thistlegorm – after a three year wait! Nour was a superb guide, patient and caring – he was also a good laugh! Thanks once again – it has been our best dive experience yet – can’t wait to book up again for next year! Hope you like the photos – unfortunately my son flooded his camera on the first dive so underwater pictures were taken on the old camera – not quite so special, but I’ve attached a couple of my land pictures.
Take care,
Deborah, Roy, Callum & Marcus Morris

It’s been a couple of weeks already since we stayed at Umbi. Looking back on a great week, enjoying the food, the friendly people, the amazing underwater world (been speaking with a ‘Cousteau accent’ for days after) and last but not least all the things I learned from my dive instructor Sameh.
Just a note to say thanks to everybody there for a great week. All the guests were really friendly and coolio, which I think is the sign of a good set-up and excellent people working there. I’m really looking forward to coming back (inshallah). Hope to see you next year!
Jason.
Ps. Alex, it’s supposed to be warming up to a balmy 11 or 12 degrees next Wednesday in the UK. Tropical!

Another fab week at Umbi Dive Centre, Sharks Bay. Our fourth time back and we will be back again for sure. The staff cannot do enough for you and our Dive Guide Yasser was, as always, brilliant and such fun. The crew on the boat Freedom V111 were absolutely fabulous too….. we have no complaints at all.

Hello,
I thought I would write to say thank you for my great holidays and to send you a some of my favourite pictures. Also a big big thank you to Adel for the beautiful DVD he gave me. I’ll be telling everybody how wonderful you all are and I hope to be able to visit Umbi Village again next year!
Best wishes, Lola

Just to let you know that H and I had a great time in Shark’s Bay at Umbi’s – and will certainly be recommending it to friends and family.
The rooms were great, the restaurant lovely, the beach – easy, but of particular brilliance was the actual diving club and the people who all made it just that special.
Please do pass on thanks to: Steve – our unphased instructor and sometime tour guide, Bev – his wife, admin for the hotel (special thanks for the loan of her swimming costume, of all the things for me to forget!), Alex – dive school organiser, first aider, voice of encouragement!…. and all the staff – bar/ reception / restaurant / dive school /room-service – who were all pleasant, helpful and did the hotel proud: clearly a happy crew!
Surprisingly – July was not really too hot at all as the temperature was lovely, cooling to a fairly comfortable heat at night – though of course the air conditioning certainly helped. H took most of the pictures; she may send some along later….
Thanks for your efficient service: helped to make it all a pleasant experience!
I know where to come next time!
Kind regards,
Hilary C.

Dear Ghandi, I will thank you for your lot of patience with me! Martin and me had a very great time with you and Martin walks around like a real diver! You are a very good instructor and we will be back with you and then I’ll try again with you!
Dear Mona,I would like to thank you for helping me with the reservation and your kindness during my stay at Sharks Bay. I really enjoyed my stay and the 3 days diving package. I gotta say that everything was perfect as usual. Please thank Alex and the diving guides Nour & Moh. Ghandi fr me as well. Until the next trip, I wish u the best of all, always….
Home again now.
We had a really, really brilliant week and really enjoyed the diving & camp; generally chilling out. Thanks also to all the staff and the guys on the boat which we thought was one of the best we’ve ever been on. We’ll be having a look at flights back in a few months time.
Thanks

We are back in Sharks bay in about 3 weeks! The best place in all Sharm district.
Dear all in Sharks Bay! Just to say a huge thank you for a fantastic month I’ve had – especially to Rob for making my DM course enjoyable and not scary at all as I initially worried that it might be! Everyone was so nice to me and I really had a great time. Miss you all, take care and definitely will see you again (hopefully soon)! Mirka xxx

Liebe Tauchfreunde, wenn Ihr einen entspannten, gut organisierten Tauchurlaub machen wollt, dann fahrt ins Taucherdorf Sharks Bay Umbi. Euch erwartet: eine sehr persönliche, familiäre Betreuung,liebe und geduldige Tauchguides und wunderschöne Tauchplätze. Da Umbi einen eigenen Steg hat, wartet Ihr nie mehr als 5 Minuten um auf das Boot zu kommen. Ich hab gehört, dass ist in Sharm sonst gerne mal anders In dem Seafood Restaurant ist der Fisch sehr schmackhaft und frisch, die Küche bietet auch einige, wirklich gute italienische Gerichte. Das beste ist aber, Ihr sitzt etwas erhöht, direkt am Strand und die Wellen schlagen in 3 Meter Entfernung ans Ufer. Bei Vollmond ein Traum! Für Shisha Freunde ist ein Beduinenzelt aufgebaut. Optimal um den Abend ausklingen zu lassen. Ich weiß, klingt alles sehr euphorisch, wir haben uns aber noch auf keiner Tauchbasis der Welt so wohl gefühlt, echt! Gerade in Sharm el Sheikh ist das Sharks Bay Umbi eine Oase.
only perfect
Thank you very much for some fantastic days in week 8! Mousa is a super guide and the staff onboard Freedom II is great. So kind and helpfull! See you some day again The Petersen family, Diving 2000, Denmark.
Dear Beverly, We will always remember your kind and prompt way of helping us with all these difficulties with flying – and your warm and big heart! Thank you! I should have given you this note on Friday, already – but somehow it didn’t work. Ernst and me, we had an almost boringly smooth way home. Everything in time, no problems whatsoever – less then by coming – and they have been marginal! Meanwhile we got the “way home”-stories of close to all our friends. The last woman will fly home on Tuesday. And we are all full of appreciation and joy of this wonderful place and the great, great journey through desert, Bedouin culture and sea-life (clearly brought to mind as something extraordinary by the contrast of “Sodom and Gomorrha” at Neama-Bay) We will always remember this beautiful place, where you are allowed to life in. The kind way of all the people working at Umbi-village, the free and calm atmosphere and of course, the sea with these amazing life in it. May this little piece of paradise be prevented from pollution and human greed! Please give our greetings especially to Refaat at the reception, who was so helpful and patient with us, as well! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Love and Peace Zamyat Willand. PS: We gave Umbi-Village adress to three people on the flight, already … and will keep on praising you in the highest voice… -of course!!!!

Just returned to a very wet and cold England from a fantastic week staying in the Bedwin Village, just paradise! Everyone so friendly. Although we are divers we only went to relax and snorkel but will definately be back next year to dive.
Really excellent dive centre. The instructors were first class, very experienced and friendly. My wife and I would recommend the dive centre to anyone. The dive centre is very relaxed and the staff create a very safe and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you for a great Open Water course, we will be returning on our next trip to Sharm.
