Diving possibilities
You have four options for diving with us:
- Dives on the house reef
You can dive at any time in the house reef directly in front of the dive center. House reef dives with a guide are possible daily at 9:20 am and 2 pm. You can get your tanks at the dive center so that you can easily prepare your equipment there. You can dive in the house reef either from our jetty or via the beach shore. Please make sure you register in advance at the reception of the diving center in order to register on the list and receive your tanks.
- Short trips by boat
On several days of the week we offer short trips twice a day with one dive each. We have plenty of beautiful dive sites to choose from, which are max. 30 minutes away by boat. The meeting points for the tours are at 9 am and 1:45 pm.
- Early morning dives (meeting point 6 am) are also offered by us.
- Sun-set dives (meeting point depends on the day) are only available in the summer months.
- Night dives on request
- Half day tours by boat
- Full day tours by boat
We also offer daily tours with two dives. The meeting point is at 8:30 am. Various beautiful dive sites are also available here. There is usually the option of a third dive on daily tours by previous arrangement (surcharge 20 €). For the daily tours, we have a large boat on which you can also get lunch and drinks.
The lunch buffet costs 5 €, water (1,5 ltr.) 1 € and soft drinks 1 €. Tea and coffee are included. Lunch and drinks are paid for in cash on the boat to the boat crew. If you would like to have lunch on the boat, please put a “X” next to ‘lunch’ on the excursion list for planning purposes.
Snorkelers are also very welcome on all our boat tours.
Diving packages
Check-Dive
Your first dive with us is a check dive , which you can do daily on the house reef or on certain boat trips. Of course, the guide will accompany you on this dive without extra charge.
Divers with more than 25 logged dives can dive independently with a buddy after the check dive.
Divers with less than 25 dives must be accompanied by one of our guides. A guide costs 5 € per person per dive.

We also offer you the opportunity to take various diving courses with us. We offer these according to SSI standard and on request according to PADI standard.
Our courses range from Open Water Diver to advanced courses to Dive Master. For diving beginners we also offer try dives in our own house reef and from the boat.

We support the deco chamber “Deco International” in Safaga (approx. 10 minutes away).
With a one-time donation of 7 €, you can insure yourself for three weeks. With this insurance, up to six hours in the decompression chamber would be free of charge in the event of a diving accident. If you are unable to proof that you have insurance, you will have to pay the entire costs yourself.

- Permission fees of 5 € per diving day and per person will be charged on site.
- For boat tours a marine park fee of 4 € per diving day and per person will be charged on site.
