MINISAFARI
|
Our popular 3-days minisafaris, departs every
Wednesday and Saturday from our jetty at Magawish hotel. On the
safari you get a chance to really experience what the Red Sea can
offer, like wrecks, walls, drifts, intense coral reef and peaceful
night diving. There are plenty of divesites in the Red Sea, suitable
for all experience levels, because most of the divesites can offer
easy ass well as more advanced diving. The route goes either north
or south. Weather conditions, the divers experience level and requests
are the factors that finally determine the route. |
The northern safari is suitable for divers
who are interested in both wreck- and reef diving. North we find
among others, the famous wreck of Thistlegorm, Rosalie Muller and
the wrecks of Abu Nuhas. |
On the southern safari, we go down towards
the Safaga area, where we find amazing coral reefs and excellent
dive sites, suitable for all experience levels. The fantastic reef
of Abu Kafan, the Panorama reef and the famous wreck of Salem Express
are situated in the Safaga area.
|
The price includes place in a shared cabin,
all meals, drinking water, one of our guides and 3 to 4 dives per
day. Additional to the price is safari taxes of 3 Euro per day and
a National Park fee, if we visit Giftun area. You can of course
rent all the equipment from us and you are also welcome to bring

warm clothes with you!

for dive sites are of course welcome and weather conditions will
be considered when choosing the dives for the day. |
