Hailing from Mansoura, Egypt, Hassan speaks fluent Russian and can fully teach in the language (in addition to Arabic and English!) He’s an expert in entertaining divers underwater and above while keeping them safe, having worked as a PADI professional since 2004.

After working in Sharm El-Sheikh for years, Hassan worked as a guide and instructor on diving safaris in the north and south routes of Egypt, where he conducted thousands of dives with divers from around the world. He then taught diving in Zambia and Saudi Arabia before coming to the UAE in 2023.

Passionate about marine conservation, Hassan’s favorite dive site is the house reef at our dive center in Khor Fakkan, where he’s spotted up to 20 turtles on one dive and enjoys taking divers to the healthy coral nearby.

His advice to new divers? “Diving is serious fun. Safety must always come first, but don’t forget to enjoy yourselves. Be serious about your safety, and be serious about having fun.”
