Why you guys are so expensive?
A question we get a lot!
I went diving around the globe, and Egypt for sure is the cheapest. However, this question I believe it is driven by the fact that there are many cheaper service providers.
But... I always ask the following questions in return, and the answers are the reason why we are a bit more expensive.
There is one Hurghada Splash Boat, and there are many others out there. But we truly and indeed separated by light years from others.
Here is the "Splash" quiz:
I'm sure that you can find even a cheaper deal if you search more, or walk for 10 minutes in Shiraton street.
But let me ask you first, how many people were on that boat?
Of which, how many of them were actually professional divers? Not snorkelers or "intros"
Do you know which number you shall call, or will they call in case of emergency happening to you?
In lunch did you eat a real fish, chicken or beef? Or was it just something square deep fried?
Do you remember any of the crew members names? I am talking about sailors, zodiack man, chef or captain? It sounds insignificant, but there is a reason why I am asking.
Did anybody served you food? Dictating how much food you shall eat? Or was it a true open lunch buffet?
Did you nap between the dives? Or were you rushed to get in water because they are on tight schedule?
Did you actually find a place to sit and stretch and sleep comfortably?
Did you find a power bank to charge your device if needed?
Did you have access to free cold and hot drinks all day no questions asked?
Could you just decide to have Nitrox for your second dive and was it available? Or you needed to inform them about your Nitrox the day before (because they bring it from outside supplier)?
If you put your towel somewhere, what are the guarantees that no one takes your place and remove your own towel?
Did you leave your equipment onboard every day including dive computers and light torches knowing that you will find it at same place everyday?
It gets better, did you forget your hood or gloves last July and came back this July and found them with your name tagged to them?
Did you setup your equipment just once, regardless how many days are you going to dive? Or you had to change your tank before every dive and at the begining of everyday?
Did you rent a well maintained hight end equipment?
Have you tried to rent an SMB, or Compass, or even a scooter and it was available midday whithout prior arrangements?
Did you go anywhere outside Fanadeer and Fanous, and Marsa and Sakhwa?
Our program includes Shaab El Erg and Abu Nuhas sir.
We're you able to take your vaccinated licence pet onboard?
Above all, did you feel comfortable to use bathrooms bare foot
all day to the last minute of the trip? Were the bathrooms spotless, paper towels 
ready, dry clean floors, smelling like flowers all day everyday?
Our price is not higher than others for a very good, but many good reasons my friend.

Wow!
Fire extinguishers, PFDs and basic navigation lights.
Really raising the bar.

I'm sorry but if you do marketing based on being "separated by light years from others", you should walk the talk. I don't see it in these pictures.

Oh... your boat has position lights. That's definitely something exceptional...
One more question : how old are these extinguishers?

Yes. Glad you know navigation lights! Very impressive
The extinguishers some old and some brand new. Bottom line, they go through anual pressure inspection, and get refilled fresh. So, guarantee to work. So, the right question supposed to be "will they work?" Not "how old are they?!!"
Also, we have automatic extinguishers above the engines and the generators. Just in case if you like to know.
