No need for all family members to be seasoned divers as snorkeling outings will also be offered. Discover three major dive sites:

– The Sataya reefsoffer the opportunity to swim with spinner dolphins, whether diving or snorkeling. A special moment for both adults and children. You will also discover the colorful life thriving in the surrounding coral gardens.
– Marsa Shagra is a bay rich with marine life and coral reefs. From 10 to 50 meters deep, this reef can be explored at your own pace, with your children or among adults.
– The bay of Marsa Alam is the last site visited during this stay. At Abu Dabbab spot, meet giant green turtles and, with a bit of luck, you might encounter dugongs, often found in this area.
