“Do not go to this hotel if you are a diver. I'm a PADI certified Rescue Diver and I maintain a proper log book. On two occasions, during a previous stay and on this stay I have tried to go on a diving day trip. The first time I had forgotten my log book and the dive center asked me perform a check out dive. This is totally justified since the log book is not available. This trip, I made sure that the log book is with me, I brought all my gear and went to the dive center. The dive center manager told me that in order to go on a boat day trip to Ras Mohammad or Tiran I had to be instructor level. And requested me to do a local or shore dive first. I have gracefully refused as I don't want to spend my money on a local dive. This is a big no-no in dive centers especially if you have done your last dive not so long ago (7 weeks ago, in my case). This is how dive centers' divers argue that this is for safety when it's really for money. This PADI dive center doesn't recognize PADI certifications!”
