  • 1) Scuba Diving in Marsa Alam

    Explore the underwater world of the Red Sea on a full-day diving tour from Marsa Alam . The simple and safe PADI “Discover Scuba Diving” program is ideal for those with little or no diving experience. After a short training session, you will make 2 dives to become more familiar with the Red Sea world of coral reefs and underwater critters. Hand-in-hand with your instructor, head off to dive depths of up to 8 meters. Sightings of turtles are not rare in the Red Sea, but you might also see sea snakes, spinner dolphins and even hammerhead sharks. Each dive is conducted on a one-to-one system, with one instructor for every diver. The experience can even be credited towards your beginner’s diving course if you decide to go on. Transfers from hotels in Marsa Alam to the ship are all included. As you sail you will start your theoretical training, so that by the time you reach the first dive stop, you are dressed for diving and ready to go!
