About us

The since 1997 existing Barakuda Diving Center lies in the heart of the beautifully designed Lotus Bay complex, around 5 km north of Safaga.

Fun being around people, experience and reliability during the courses and passion for diving are the employment criteria of the Barakuda staff and crucial for the friendly and family like care in Mahmoud’s Diving Centers.

The Barakuda Team is there for you daily from 8am until 6pm and takes care of the daily organization, the dives, and we can also have a cool drink together so you feel comfortable. The dive sites are so numerous that it is very uncommon to go to the same spot twice. Where to go is decided every morning by the guide, depending on the diver’s experience and weather conditions. Between 9am and 3pm you can explore the small but stunning house reef.

All of our guests can enjoy the individual care from the whole team and the relaxed atmosphere in the centers own bar, with a lot of cozy seating arrangements. Our divers have the possibility to connect with the outside world with our free wireless internet connection.

There is a reason why our motto is:

“Come as a guest, leave as a friend.”
