Description

The Sahl Hasheesh scuba diving trip takes you by boat to clear Red Sea dive sites, with shallow areas for beginners and deeper sections, drop-offs and walls for experienced divers. Over around six hours, our team keeps the day well paced: you receive a briefing before entering the water, dive with support nearby and have time to rest on deck between activities.

The underwater scenery changes as you go deeper. At shallow sites, you can settle into the water and look closely at coral formations, small reef fish and other marine life. Deeper areas and walls have a different feel, with changing light, rock faces and wider views for certified divers who are comfortable at greater depths. The exact site depends on local conditions and the day’s diving plan.

This trip suits anyone new to scuba diving who wants a guided introduction without signing up for a multi-day course. Before the dive, your dive master explains the equipment, entry procedure, hand signals and basic safety points. During the activity, you receive practical tips and advice from a dive master who stays nearby, helping you manage your breathing, buoyancy and pace in the water.

Experienced divers can discuss their certification and comfort level with the dive team before entering the water. The guide can explain which areas are shallow and which have deeper walls, helping you choose a sensible option for your experience. Travellers should be confident in the water and follow the dive master’s instructions. This excursion is not suitable for anyone who cannot swim, has a medical concern that affects diving or wants to dive completely independently without supervision.

  • Explore shallow dive sites suitable for beginners
  • See deeper areas and walls for more advanced divers
  • Look for coral, reef fish and other Red Sea marine life
  • Receive guidance from a nearby dive master throughout the activity
  • Enjoy a complimentary lunch onboard the boat

The boat journey gives the day an easy rhythm. After pickup and transfer to the departure point, the crew prepares the equipment and talks you through the plan. Time in the water is balanced with breaks on deck, where you can dry off, enjoy the open-water views and speak with the dive team about the next section. We keep the trip organised without rushing travellers through the briefing or equipment checks.

A complimentary lunch is served onboard during the trip, so you can eat without leaving the boat. Bring water too, along with sun protection and a change of clothes for the return journey. Snorkelling or relaxing on deck may be possible between diving activities when conditions and the boat’s schedule allow, but scuba diving remains the main focus.

Our team arranges the essential logistics, so you can focus on the water instead of organising transport, boat arrangements and dive guidance separately. Pickup details are confirmed after booking, and the schedule may change because of sea conditions, safety requirements or the needs of the group. Please share relevant medical information and your diving experience in advance, especially if you plan to visit the deeper sites.

Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat, and wear comfortable clothing for the transfer. Avoid alcohol before diving and follow any medical advice about scuba activity. Travellers who take prescription medication or have a health condition should check with a doctor before taking part.

Your Itinerary

Our team picks you up from your accommodation in Sahl Hasheesh and transfers you to the marina, where you board the diving boat. After the crew checks your equipment and explains the plan, the boat heads to suitable Red Sea dive sites. The exact route depends on sea conditions and the group’s experience. Your dive master stays nearby throughout the dives, giving practical dive tips and advice before entering the water and while you explore.

Beginner divers can visit shallow areas at a comfortable pace, while certified and experienced divers may explore deeper sections, reef slopes and walls when conditions allow. Beneath the surface, look for coral formations, colourful reef fish and other marine life that make up the Red Sea’s underwater ecosystem. Between dives, there is time to rest on deck and enjoy a complimentary lunch served onboard, with drinks available during the trip. After the final dive, the boat returns to the marina, followed by your transfer back to Sahl Hasheesh. The full excursion lasts around six hours.
