We stayed and dived with Oonaz. The suite room consist of a double room (2 small single beds) and a very small single room. The living room is spacious with small old CRT TV. The chair and sofa are not comfortable. No swimming pool but hotel guess are given the access to the beach shared and operated by next door hotel.
Free wi fi in the restaurant but not in the room.

Good diving operation. Dive sites are selected last minutes base on divers capability. If theres new divers joining the trip, the first dive site typically is easiest one (which is not always interesting) to evaluate them. Not a big deal though. During 3 days we dived at :
- Ras Mohamad : Jack fish alley; Shark reef and Yolanda Reef
- Ras Bob, Jackson Reef and Gordon Reef
- Temple, Ras Um Sidd
My favourites sites are Shark and Yolanda Reef, Jackson Reef and Ras Um Sid; but disappointed with the Temple

They operates at least two boats. The bigger boat Obi wan is very nice and comfortable boat, with great crew who always offer and ready to help the divers before and after diving.
The smaller boat Hooligan is mediocre, the crew was not attentive. Even one of them was busy smoking cigarette when all divers were preparing for diving. Every time the boat start to move, there's black smoke from the boat engine. Foods in Obi Wan is also much better than Hooligan

We booked for private dive guide. Tracy our private dive guide is a lovely guide and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed her detailed dive briefing.
She managed to find space and beautiful spots at busy dive sites. She really made our days shiny.

Here few shots taken during the trip, more can be seen in my flikr album
