Location dive summary
This trip is for experienced divers only. A minimum of 50 dives is required, and depending on the group we may raise the limit.
- Excellent visibility, often exceeding 40 meters, due to its low plankton content.
- Water temperature is consistently warm, ranging from 20°C at depth to 32°C near the surface.
- High salinity, averaging 4.1%, affects buoyancy.
- Currents are generally predictable.
- Over 1200 fish species and extensive coral reefs.
Accommodation: Private for the group
We usually secure local accommodation options which help create a memorable and enjoyable travel experience. Hence, we strive to house the entire group in a single house, villa, or tent camp. This not only fosters a sense of community and shared experiences but also simplifies the logistics of managing a large group.
Our goal is to establish a base location that allows us to explore exceptional dive sites. This base location will serve as a temporary home, enabling us to delve into unique underwater environments, sometimes even extending our stay overnight.
Villa in Dahab

Welcome

Day 2
Test dives
- You might have your diving skills, buoyancy control, and Surface Air Consumption (SAC) rates evaluated by our in-residence dive master with an initial dive if necessary.
- This approach ensures that you receive the appropriate support and guidance to optimize your diving experience while upholding the highest safety standards.
- Instead of acting as guides or instructors, our dive masters will accompany you underwater as backup support.

Day 3-7
Exploration dives
- Every day presents you with a chance to explore, learn, and contribute, all while being surrounded by some of the most breathtaking dive sites on Earth.
- You have the freedom to dive 2-4 times daily, allowing you to immerse yourself as much as you desire.
- The dynamic of each dive is set by your group, and we are here to provide operational support with each descent.

Day 8
Farewell

- After the dive, we will gather for a wrap-up lunch, where we eagerly look forward to collecting feedback from you and engaging in a discussion about potential improvements for future trips and experiences.
