Dive Operators and Facilities Boats operating on the deep south sites range in quality from extremely basic to palatially luxurious. The standard of service is obviously reflected in the price of the trip, and a week on the most luxurious of these boats will cost you more than a month of shore-based diving in the north. Even the more basic boats have competent and knowledgeable crew and dive staff, and are generally well equipped and comfortable. The more expensive boats offer air-conditioned splendor and amenities from video movies to en suite showers, and boast the latest in compressors and fittings. Local Dive Etiquette Bear in mind, as you dive on these pristine sites, that this is what the northern Red Sea dive sites looked like twenty years ago, and that these beautiful reefs could end up in the same condition within ten years.
Every diver is responsible for the well-being of the reef.
Each misplaced finstroke or handhold is another nail in the coffin for this delicate ecosystem. Diving here is a privilege, so please take it seriously.
