MARSA ALAM DESERT DIVING

FINDING PEACE, RELAXATION AND THE REAL DIVENTURE
On the coast of South Egypt starting from about 300 km south of the busy holiday resort Hurghada you find chill out, peace to relax and real diventure surrounded by nothing but desert, mountains and the Red Sea. Marsa Alam just started to come up in the recognition of the diving community few years ago and has been done up for tourism needs and infrastructure however so far only in the basics. But you can be 100% sure that you find what you are looking for: starting from Abu Dabab all the way down (150 km of pure coral reef) to sites like Elphinestone, Dolphinhouse Samadai and Habili el Gadir, the south Red Sea for sure offers the real diventure. Visit untouched coral gardens, canyon creeks, caves to explore, schools of sharks, big predators, Mantas and the Dugong, an experience you will never forget.

DESERT ADVENTURE
The South of Egypt offers the real adventure! Staying in hutches, tents or the more luxurious bungalows, having dinner and the aprés-dive beer under the stars, chatting on a fireplace about latest discoveries – this gives you the ultimate back to nature and explorers feeling - your entertainment is the sea, the stars and the mountains or the local Bedouins playing for you traditional music with their handmade instruments.
If you fancy to explore the desert with camels or jeep safaris into the big valleys like Waadi el Gemal (Valley of the Camel) in the southern desert, Bedouins will welcome you to join dinner or a shisha (water pipe) with them and tell you everything interesting about living in the desert. A short trip away you find a meteroite crater on the seashore called the 'Naizac', we make fire and have a shay (bedouine-tea) there under the stars of the southern desert.

JEEPS, ZODIACS, THE DUGONG AND OTHER SPECIES
Apart from the best house reefs right in front of our locations which we can explore unlimited, we take jeeps, zodiacs or diving boats to our targeted dive sites.

As the south coast of the Red Sea fortunately is still not that busy the reefs are untouched and it’s worth to see all of them. But of course we choose for you the most amazing and interesting ones: Abu Dabab where you find turtles, guitar sharks and the funniest creature of the sea, the Dugong, a seacow with a cow face and a mermaids tail, Elphinestone - the famous reef full of soft corals, sponges and gorgonia fans in the middle of the sea where you find Oceanic White Tips, Grey Reef sharks and Hammerheads, Dolphinehouse Samadai - as the name says a nesting place of spinner dolphins protected as a Marine Park or Habili el Gadir – the biggest garden of soft corals in all the colours of the world with giant morays cruising through and many many more beautiful dive spots will amaze and fascinate you!
