Red Sea Dive Resort – Marsa Alam

Dive Centre

We work with a number of reputable dive operators in Marsa Alam. In particular, our partnership with Emperor Divers is long established and they have a reputation for combining a highly professional, safe and organised service with a warm welcome, friendliness and a sense of fun.

Different dive package options are available and you can mix and match diving depending on where you stay:

Hard boat – full day trips on large, comfortable boats, with lunch served on board. This trip is the one to choose if you want to access a wide diving area and enjoy a relaxing cruise and sunbathing.

RIB diving – get to the dive and back, fast. A good option if you want to mix diving with family time.

Unlimited house reef diving – like taking your time rather than be guided? Taking underwater photos? Take this option! But remember to take your buddy too. PADI and SSI Dive courses are available, with the added comfort of being able to do training dives directly off the resort’s beach or jetty.

Après Dive

Unlike the larger resorts of Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, Marsa Alam is tiny so the town’s après dive is almost non-existent, but most resorts have their own dining, shopping and entertainment options. If you fancy a night outside your resort, you’ll find some decent bars and restaurants on the waterfront in a pleasant setting at Port Ghalib, which is the departure and return point for the dive boats.

Flights & Transfers

A weekly direct flight leaves from Gatwick. Flight time from the UK is approximately 5 hours. Transfer from airport to hotel is between 10 minutes to 1 hour (or possibly more) depending on your choice of hotel and its proximity to the airport, but many popular hotels are within 15 minutes.

Alternatively Hurghada Airport offers more UK flight options and can be better value. Flight time from the UK is approximately 5 hours. Transfer time is approximately 3 hours.
