Highlights: We cater to the discriminating diver seeking to grasp the richness and incredible variety of the underwater world unique to the Red Sea. We offer a truly unforgettable experience for divers of all levels - from beginners seeking a basic understanding of the reef to the experienced photographer searching for the shot of a lifetime.
We know an experienced guide can make a world of difference! Our crew is very experienced and safety conscious - we put no restrictions on bottom time as long as computers and airs are adhered to within recreational safety limits.

Red Sea is world renowned as a center for some of the world's best Diving. Where, you will find over 800 fish species, including the deadly stone-fish, the equally dangerous butterfly-fish, as well as surgeon fish, jellyfish such as the cassiopei, crabs that sometimes overrun the shore in the evening and some species of shark.

Sunbathers relax on white sand beaches, or find shade in the mangrove lagoons that line the coast, while snorkellers explore the reefs. And the underwater wonder of the Red Sea remains a living tapestry of vibrant corals and exotic fish, waiting for you to discover its secrets.

Ships have sailed, and sunk, in the Red Sea since it was the main route to the Indies for Phoenician and Ancient Egyptian traders. In those times, ships loaded with copper, cooking pots and clothing departed from el-Quseir and Berenice and returned bearing elephants, ebony, gems and spices.

For centuries, the Red Sea remained a scene of shipwreck and adventure for smugglers, merchants, pirates and pilgrims. After the opening of the Suez Canal, in 1869, it continued its role as an international trade route and "Passage to India" for European travelers.

Most of the diving in the Red Sea area is done with a shore-based, day boat dive operation or a live aboard dive boat. The currents in these areas vary from no current to very strong, so it is strongly advised to dive or snorkel with guides or with experienced divers who have dove in the area before and are familiarized with the conditions.

Here you will find some definitions of the diving skill levels to help you evaluate the required skill for each dive site.
