Askar manages X Deep Immersion in Dahab. One French review — from a PADI instructor with 300 dives and 25 years in the water — calls the team the most competent he has encountered, credits the centre with teaching everything from a first dive to an introduction to technical diving, and is explicit about the trade: this is not the cheapest diving in Dahab, and the discipline and standard are well above a standard recreational centre. Only one student has written about the team publicly so far, so ask for references.
