The expert's opinion

This program is designed for divers with some prior experience who want to explore a varied selection of dive sites. The week combines relaxed shore dives with speedboat trips to offshore reefs, house reefs, and a full-day excursion to Wadi el Gemal National Park. An Advanced Open Water certification is recommended but not required. Dive sites range from easy, shallow reefs to slightly more demanding sites with light currents, making this program ideal for divers who feel comfortable in the water and want to discover the diversity of Marsa Alam at a relaxed pace.
