Can anyone recommend good dive company’s for Marsa Alam that’s serious about diving and not snorklinv and discover scuba, going to be diving with my kids 14&15 both have AOW kids have 40 dives and I’m MSTD so can look after . How advanced is the diving ideally I like to do elphinstone reef , can you do with from local companies on day trips ? staying jaz rivera and recommendations appreciated also other sites worth a trip
 
Check these and see if they will work for you and your family:

 
But unfortunately Marsa Shagra is a bit far for diving every day.
Have a look at Scuba Word Divers located on site and what they offer. Eventually get in touch with them to see if they fit your requirements and whether they will allow you to dive alone with your kids. I don't see why not after having had a check dive with a local DM.
They have some good dive spots on their list, so that should be fine.
Note, however, that for Elphinstone the requirement is AOWD with at least 50 dives. They may be pedantic about this.
Nearby alternative would be Extra Divers Fayrouz, located 2-3 km north.

No sure that I understand you, far for what? He will be staying at Marsa Shagra and diving there.

Thank you for this , i want to go with dive master or private guide, I’m must an extra pair of hands for the kids just wondering how strong the currents are? both aowd but just under the 50 dives
 
Bumping an old thread...
How was the experience with Emperor Divers?
Will be staying in Port Ghalib in a couple of weeks and between them and Wonderful Dive, Emperor seem to be the only ones committing to 3rd dives during the standard daily trips (except for Dolphin House), and also almost certain that the Elphinstone daily boat will likely make a 3rd dive on the way back.

Haven't been in this area before and every feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
