Diving in the Red Sea near Marsa Alam

THE NEW DIVING CENTER
IN ABU DABAB

Our new diving center in Marsa Alam is located at the right end of the bay, which name should be familiar to the most travelers in the southern part of Egypt. Since the beginning of August 2015, we took over the previous diving center and, as usual, we were not satisfied with the conditions on the spot. Directly on the first day of our arrival we demolished nearly half of the rooms of the old diving center. In the following month, we put a lot of time into the extensive reconstructions and made the diving center to a place where everyone want to come back.

PERFECTLY LOCATED DIVING CENTER

On the verge of the hotel you can find our diving center in an independent building, which is actually easy to find. From the hotel as well as from the pool you have a view at our diving center and you can’t miss us on your way to the beach. Nobody has to walk a lot during the holiday and you don’t even have to leave the resort, if you don’t want to.

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BAYS OF THE RED SEA 

Our indescribable beautiful House Reef, which can be reached over the big sandy beach of the bay, is only 150 meter far from our diving center. The famous coral reef of Abu Dabab can be found on your right shoulder directly after the easy and well protected entrance of the bay. The fringing reef of the bay last till the shore, like nearly everywhere in the southern part of the Red Sea. The bay itself has a sea grass area that is the staple food for the giant turtles which can be met on a daily base during your snorkeling or diving. Where else can diving be effected in your ‘backyard’, which is one of the most beautiful bays that the Red Sea has to offer?

SHORT TRANSFER TIME FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE DIVING CENTER

The diving center can be reached within 15 minutes from the airport Marsa Alam. Another possibility might be the transfer from the airport Hurghada, but from there the transfer will take around three hours. Nevertheless, the drive through the Egyptian desert is impressive and a nice experience and the streets are, in contrast to Germany, without any traffic jam.

SHORT TRANSFER TIME TO ELPHINESTONE, ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR DIVE SIGHT THAT EGYPT HAS TO OFFER

Beside the daily dives in the bay, which are always possible, we offer as well daily two half-day trips to the surrounding shore dive spots. The guests have parallel to this the possibility to dive the outside reefs of Abu Dabab by Zodiac. Of course we offer as well twice a week full-day trips to Shaab Marsa Alam and once a week a full-day trip to Elphinestone. The transfer time of the full-day trip to one of the nicest dive spot of the Red Sea is very low, which makes especially our long-term guests from El-Quseir very happy as they have to be at our diving center just after 7 a.m.

If you have any questions about diving, hotel or something else feel free to contact us at any time. We are happy to assist you in planning your stay and look forward to welcoming you to our new location in Marsa Alam, which has already become a new home for us.

Next to familiar faces and the common people, we are happy to greet many new staff in our team.

We look forward for your visit
