$75 per day!!! in HURGHADA!!! I pay 35 Euro per day on White Dolphin (think they are 40 euro now) - 2 dives + lunch and 3rd dive is like 5 euro....
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.

Welcome to Hurghada Splash Boat 😊
 
@e_badawi What is a typical day choice of dive sites (for recreational)?
Today for example we were at Um Grammar and Shabrur

Tomorrow we are going to Shaab El Erg

Yesterday we were at Turfa and Sabina

The day before we has a wreck day. El Mina, Hasaballa, Suzana, Balina

The day before were Sakhwa then Fanadeer far north drift.

That's a glimpse of a while week of operation.
