Red Sea Diving Safari Dive

Centres

Based at the 3 Red Sea Dive Safari Eco Lodges and the Kahamana Hotel (Pioneer Divers) these excellent dive centres offer great diving for all levels of divers. The main dive centre at Marsa Shagra, Marsa Nakari and Pioneer Divers offer PADI courses as well as a choice of dive packages for shore and boat diving. Marsa Shagra & Nakari also offers unlimited house reef diving in buddy pairs for those suitably experienced. Wadi Lahmami offers dive packages for more experienced and adventurous divers. The boat diving from here is by RIB.

On their first day in Ecolodges Shagra Village, Nakri Village or Lahami Villaage, the guests will receive an orientation dive around the bay accompanied by one of the guides. After this initial orientation (if the guests wishes and their diving ability allows) they are free to enjoy our unlimited diving set-up. Zodiac services are available allowing for the option of up to 6 different patterns within the house reef. This is definitely one of the most enjoyable factors of Red Sea Diving Safari, as it is wonderful to have the freedom to dive in buddy pairs at their own pace and at the times they want to. Individual guests don't have to worry, as there always seem to be other divers very keen to go for a dive which they can join.

in addition, the safari trucks travel twice a day to dive the Sharms, Marsas and reef walls along the coastline where easy access to the reef makes this area ideal for shore based diving. The coastal reef reaches a maximum depth of 55 meters and is heavily pitted with caves and swim-throughs. The equipment is loaded on the truck, which usually leaves between 07:00 to 08:00 hours. The flat bed trucks are open and the guests sit in the front part on mattresses, whilst the dive gear and cylinders are loaded into the back. These dives will be guided, and the guide will give a briefing on arrival at the site. A tarpaulin is spread on the ground for gearing up thus preventing the equipment getting sand in it. After the dive the guests will either move back to the Ecolodges for lunch or have lunch on site before heading off between 13.00 and 14.00 hours for the second dive.

Barakuda Diving, Lahami Bay Beach Resort

Lahami Bay has a wonderful 5km house reef. The dive centre here offers PADI & TDI courses as well as shore dive packages. Boat trips can be added at an additional supplement.

Directly facing the reefs of the Fury Shoals, Lahami Bay is by far the nearest resort to the world class diving highlights of the South Red Sea, including Zabargad island, Rocky island and St. John's reefs.

Departing from the resort's private marina, the fleet of quality diving boats of our Baracuda Diving Center - Lahami Bay can reach in 10 to 60 minutes over 40 pristine dive sites. Before the opening of Lahami Bay , those sites were reachable only by means of live aboard safari boats on lengthy trips. Among those dive sites, in the immediate vicinity of Lahami Bay are the renown reefs of Sataya, Malahi, Abu Galawa, Shaab Maksur, as well as several shipwrecks.

New dive sites are being continuously discovered in the surrounding mostly uncharted waters of the South.

Lahami Bay House Reef is in itself a diving destination. Starting less than a hundred meters from the beach, countless coral barriers, patches and pillars at depths from 15 to 60 meters extend into the sea in kilometre long formations. This unique house reef system offers unlimited possibilities for daytime, early morning and night diving, either directly from the beach, or by means of designated small house reef boats.
