Sustainable Scuba 'Dive & Stay' Package - Egypt

Discover the underwater treasures of the Red Sea in Egypt with this sustainable scuba "Dive & Stay" package based in Sharm el Sheikh.

Sharm el Sheikh is a city located on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. It's renowned for its beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs, making it a popular destination for scuba diving enthusiasts from around the world.

Scuba diving in the Red Sea is suitable for divers of all levels looking to appreciate exceptional biodiversity in crystal-clear and warm water year-round. You'll see pristine coral reefs and vibrant marine life, and it's possible to access deep walls and wrecks.

• Enjoy 5 diving days with (2 boat dives per day, with a guide) and 1 free day
• Immerse yourself amongst coral reefs and colorful tropical fish
• Keep your eyes peeled for sharks, dolphins, and more
• Stay in a boutique resort accommodation with a pool, onsite restaurant and cafe, and rooftop bar

The Red Sea enjoys warm water temperatures year-round, typically ranging from 72°F (22°C) in winter to 84°F (29°C) in summer. This comfortable water temperature makes diving possible throughout the year.

• October to May: This is the high season when water temperatures are more comfortable and marine life is abundant. Especially from December to April, the Red Sea sees the highest influx of tourists and divers.
• June & September: These months are the shoulder seasons. Diving conditions will still be good and there are generally fewer tourists.
• July & August: Though possible to dive, this is considered the off-season. Water temperatures can be uncomfortably warm, and there may be higher levels of plankton, reducing visibility.

We recommend diving during the shoulder seasons, if your schedule allows, to help combat overtourism and promote tourism dispersal.

We are a locally-owned, Egyptian company offering dive and stay packages emphasizing awareness, responsibility, and education. Our resort is Green Hotel Certified - an Egyptian eco-label that promotes sustainable tourism by recognizing accommodations committed to environmental and social responsibility practices. We are also the only Egyptian dive site with Green Fins Gold status due to our efforts to protect and conserve coral reefs and engage in sustainable scuba diving.

Environmental Initiatives
We upgraded to custom-built dive boats in 2013, primarily powered by solar panels, improving their environmental impact. The boats also have an energy-efficient fresh air inlet system, and an onboard septic tank which helps keep the sea clean!

It's a 5-minute walk to the marina from the resort, reducing the need for additional transportation once you are here.

We provide guests with a reusable water bottle and numbered cover so as to not lose track of it, and guests can refill the bottle from a chilled water cooler on the boat.

Solar panels cover our roof and provide energy and heating for the pool.

Double-glazed windows optimize air conditioning efficiency in each room.

In 2018, we said goodbye to single-use plastics. We have a "no plastic straw" policy, no longer have plastic wrappings in our breakfast boxes, and don't provide plastic bags for anything purchased.

In 2019, we became a Green Fins member for our efforts in promoting best practices in responsible marine tourism.

In 2022, our hotel and resort became a Green Star Hotel for our efforts in pioneering sustainable hospitality practices.
