Daily Diving & Snorkeling in the Red Sea
Daily diving (land based) trips are offered daily from our diving center located in Hurghada, Red Sea, Egypt on our boat Terri II. Round trip transfers from your hotel to the harbor and back are included (within 10 kilometers of Hurghada). Morning transfers start from the reception of your hotel around 8:30 a.m. We transfer you to the Hurghada harbor to board Terri II. Our boat departs from the harbor around 9:00 a.m. and returns to the harbor around 4:00 p.m. daily. Our onboard crew provides an orientation briefing to familiarize you with our boat facilities, review onboard safety features and answer any questions you may have. Then it's off for a full fun day on the Red Sea!
 
On the way to the first dive site, you prepare your scuba gear for the first dive and our dive guide will make a comprehensive dive briefing for the morning dive. Depending on the dive site selected, the first dive starts around 10:00 hours.
After the first dive, a complementary hot lunch is served during the surface interval; prepared fresh daily. Lunches include a meat dish, rice, pasta or potato dish and a fresh salad. One soft drink is included and complementary bottled mineral water is also available throughout the day. Anytime the boat is anchored, and the engines are off, swimming and snorkeling are permitted.
 
Around 2:00 p.m. the boat moves to a different dive site for the afternoon dive. The second dive briefing is made and the afternoon dive is conducted.  After the second dive, the boat returns to the harbor, normally around 4:00 p.m. and we will transfer you back to your hotel. Your scuba gear is returned to our diving center where it is rinsed in fresh water, dried and prepared for the next day.
 
Night Diving from the Beach
Our night dives are usually conducted at our favorite house reef at Ramoza Beach. This reef offers splendid night diving! We sometimes conduct dives near the Susanna wreck, if a moderate surface swim under a moon lit sky interest you! It generally takes about 15 to 20 minutes to reach the wreck but it's worth the extra effort. On occasion, sleeping turtles have been spotted near this wreck on night dives. The marine life at night is splendid and the wreck itself is easy to observe without penetrating it.
 
When a more tranquil dive is more appealing, the local house reef will not be a disappointment. It's home to vast colonies of aquatic life and soft colorful coral.  Starting from the beach, the topography is a very long gradual slope reaching a maximum depth of 15 meters, where night dives are conducted. When the water is calm, which is usually the case, the visibility is incredible! If you've never experienced night diving before, this is the place to try it. You'll soon find yourself totally overcome with the nocturnal marine life and the vibrant color of the coral! Night diving from our boat is another opportunity to dive local reefs.
 
Night Diving from a Boat
Increase your chances to see even more exciting marine life inhibiting the outer reefs and enjoy the convenience of night diving from a boat. We offer night diving from our boat to some of the best reefs near Hurghada.
 
Over Night & Over Day Diving
If your holiday time or budget is limited and you are interested in experiencing what it's like to be on a liveaboard safari you may want to consider an overnight trip on our boat. This is a great way to celebrate special occasions or just get away from the crowds for a night.
 
We also offer special over day wreck diving trips that includes the famous Thistlegorm and Abu Nuhas with two wrecks. Then, make a night dive near Hurghada before returning to the harbor.
 
Beach Diving - Shore Based
For divers with medical problems prohibiting them from boat diving or seasickness related problems, beach diving options are available. Local beaches are sand covered with outdoor furniture and shade umbrellas. If you're on holiday with a non-diver and want to spend a day together, a day on the beach may be more suitable. Our dive guide can take you for a dive, while your partner relaxes on the beach, swims or snorkels. It's a perfect alternative for divers and non-divers to spend the day together with different interests!
 
Snorkeling in the Red Sea
Snorkeling opportunities are included on every day on our day boat trips.  We think snorkeling should be more than just gazing underwater through a piece of plastic - it is your window to the beautiful underwater world! For more information about our snorkeling services please visit our Snorkeling or Snorkeling FAQ page.
