Experiences · Sea & water

Under the Red Sea, on it, and on the wind.

Diving, snorkelling, freediving, kitesurfing and sailing ask very different things of you. Filter by what you want to do and where you are staying, then put up to three side by side: the skill each needs, the time you actually spend in the water, and what you will see.

We ask for your certificate and log, and so will the dive centre.Very little: sun, sea and an easy climb on and off the boat.
