DDI Italy Dive trip to Egypt

On the 25th May, DDI Italy packed up their dive gear and headed to Egypt for a week of boat diving off of Sharm el Sheikh. The group consisted of 37 divers, including 12 with disabilities. The holiday was full of diving, incredible experiences and fun for all involved.  During the trip, 4 students passed their Open Water course after 8 months of training in the swimming pool.  Hard work really does pay off, congratulations to all.

Thanks for the professionalism, friendship and for helping us discover an amazing underwater world!

Thanks to all the guys for the smiles, the contagious energy and the great satisfaction they gave us! DDI Italy
