Each diving club operates several boats specifically tailored for diving. All our boats provide superb facilities for storing divers gear, gearing up and easy entry in and egress out of the water. Spacious saloon areas and open upper decks provide for comfort and relaxation. Maintaining the companies philosophy of safety, each boat is fitted with VHF, SAR calling systems and life jackets. The boat crew consists of a captain and 2 support crew, all trained in boat handling and emergency management.
Arguably the best dive site in the Red Sea. The divesite is about 400 metres long and 30 metres wide with a north/south axis. The reef is home to nearly all the Red Sea fauna and flora and offers the best chances for encounters with Manta Rays and Sharks; Hammerheads in summer and Oceanic White Tips all year round.
This reef has the nickname "The Aquarium" thanks to its enormous schools of fish. Moray eels inhabit the many caves on its western side. The fish population increases dramatically along the northern wall. The enormous schools of bannerfish are particularly impressive, along with barracuda, tuna, blue spotted rays and the occasional shark.
The dive really defines the term ‘blue water’. The steep wall is covered in multi colored soft corals. In the shallow water are numerous caves which are home to sweeping glassfish and the rays of sunlight breaking through the cave roof is a fantastic site. There are some very impressive overhangs on this reef wall and huge gorgonian fan corals.
