Excellent Diving Club in Djerba - We would like to thank all the Team from Club de Plongée La Sirène, especially Youssef and Mhamed for their hard work, professional guidance and constant support to their clients. We did 3 days of two tanks diving and regardless the wavy water, moderate to strong current and lack of great visibility, we always felt safe and in good hands. They arranged the dives in such a way that we were able to visit most of the shipwrecks, giving us interesting details about their submersion and role during WWII. We noticed that they observed carefully all divers'skills and abilities in order to rearrange the groups and boats in further diving. Thank you Youssef and Mhamed for your great work. We really appreciated it and would highly recommend it to anyone divingaddicted.

A professional team - A friendly and very professional team! We have dived a wreck called Séguia at -27m! everything was organized to perfection. The gear was top and safety was the teams priority. Unfortunately the visibility wasn’t great.. meaning I will come back

The best !! - I saw the positives reviews and we decided with my wife to drive 500 Km to pass our PADI Open Water exam and absolutely no regret it was a great learning and human experience. From the first step inside the club you can see clearly that everything was well organised, cleaned and equipments with popular brands (like Cressi, Aqua Lung) Important for me, since I don't have my own equipment yet. It's a business family and they make you feel one of them from the first contact, and I think it was key to build the trust with Wadia (the instructor) and all the team (because they were acting as one team). and I believe the trust is needed for this kind of adventure ;) Thank you Youssef, your wife, Wadia, Wael, I really wish you the best for your business and your personal life !! Of course, 200% recommended !!
