To be able to join a diving safari, divers must have completed their training and dived as appropriate to the itinerary. Experience is important with some circuits having more challenging conditions, for instance, strong currents or deeper dives. For marine park circuits, at least 50 logged dives are recommended. If you have fewer dives or haven't dived for some time, it's recommended to call ahead to find the most suitable circuit

Non-diving partners are welcome to join the liveaboard safari, even if they do not dive. While many routes offer beautiful scenery and onboard relaxation, snorkeling and swimming may not be permitted at all dive sites. If your partner wants to enjoy the water, it’s best to discuss available options before booking to find an itinerary that suits both of you

Except for the option of a single cabin, solo travelers will be roomed with another passenger in a cabin. Cabins are segregated by gender to accommodate all travelers. Subject to availability, a sole occupancy cabin may be arranged free of charge, but this cannot be guaranteed due to last-minute reservation

Most of our safaris are led by two dive guides for a safe and properly structured diving experience. Exceptions are made with an empty boat when a single guide leads the group

Even though there is a limited number of spare parts available onboard, it is a good idea to bring spare O-rings, a spare battery for your dive computer, and whatever accessories you may need.
For safety and comfort, bring:
Thin socks or nylon stockings to prevent blisters from dive boots, similar to wearing new hill walking boots.
High SPF sun cream to protect against sunburn, as the Red Sea wind can make it difficult to appreciate sun exposure.
A hat or headgear to cover ears against wind and sun during surface intervals.
Good sunglasses reduce glare from the sea surface, preventing eye strain and irritation.
A sleeping bag or a lightweight blanket is needed if you'd prefer to sleep on the open deck at night under the stars.
Ear rinse solution to prevent stinging due to high Red Sea salinity. Freshwater rinsing after every dive reduces discomfort.

North Red Sea is densely wrecked with wrecks in general, and specifically in the region of Suez Canal where vessels ran aground on the reef or sank when World War II took place. The diving destination has mixed wrecks with coral reefs so, therefore, suitable for the wreck diving lover who also fancies diversified bottom habitat.
Marine park diving is more challenging, if weather and currents allow. For itineraries that include marine park dive sites, at least 50 logged dives are recommended to ensure optimum enjoyment and safety.
The south Red Sea presents a fascinating range of dive sites that are well-suited to both experienced and less experienced divers. Itineraries may feature:
Drift dives, gliding along precipitous walls covered in vividly colored coral.
Shallow coral gardens, perfect for relaxed exploration and macro photo shoots.
Cavern dives, natural light creating compelling underwater drama.
Every region has a distinct diving experience, itineraries from beginner to highly skilled
