Premium Diving "Two Reefs" from Hurghada

Premium Diving "Two Reefs": Program

• Morning transfer from the hotel (around 8:00 AM). We confirm the exact time after booking.
• Arrival at the pier in Makadi Bay, boarding the three-deck yacht, and meeting the crew.
• A safety briefing and instructions on using the diving gear.
• The first dive near the Makadi reefs. Approximate duration is 10-15 minutes, depth up to 10 meters, at the instructor's discretion.
• Rest on the yacht and lunch.
• The second dive near the Sahl Hasheesh reefs. The exact spot, depth, and duration depend on the weather, sea conditions, and the participant's preparation.
• Free time for snorkeling with a mask and fins by the coral reef.
• Return to the pier and transfer to the hotel by around 16:30. The time may vary.

Two Dives: Makadi and Sahl Hasheesh

The route combines two areas south of Hurghada. Near the Makadi reefs you can see coral formations and Red Sea fish, while the Sahl Hasheesh area has a different reef relief and underwater walls. The crew picks the exact spots on the day of the trip based on wind, current, visibility, and the requirements of the marine authorities.

Two dives mean you are not limited to a single location. Between them there is a surface interval, during which you can recover, have lunch, and get ready for the second stop.
