Club SCUBA Diving Holiday to the RED SEA
Inspired ? Contact us now for details !
8 Days, 7 Nights, with choice of guided Boat-Dive Package
The Red Sea offers a spectacular combination of colourful marine life, ancient corals, reefs and wrecks, in a setting of all-year-round warm clear waters and deep blue skies. This is a diver's honeypot ! The local people are so friendly and hospitable, and English is widely spoken. Diving is a crucial part of the local economy, and is protected both in terms of preservation of the environment, and the welfare and safety of visitors.
There is such a variety of local and international cuisine that you will not be able to sample it all in one visit. We keep going back because the diving and the relaxed lifestyle is superb.
We'll begin our holiday with a flight from Gatwick to Sharm el Sheikh. We'll be met at the airport for transfer to our Hotel. Dump your things with a quick unpack, then a dip in our hotel pool or a snooze on the sunbeds to wind yourself down into the correct pace for this holiday.
Our dive package offers us two boat dives per day, and opportunities for additional day, night and specialist dives. Cylinders, air-fills, weights and weight-belts are included. We'll do reef-dives, wreck dives, drift-dives, photography dives ... and every dive will be a spectacular naturalist dive.
One option not to be missed will be to dive the Thistlegorm, a supply ship sunk by an opportunistic German bomber in the second world war. This world-famous wreck still has its cargo largely intact - two steam trains, army lorries, motorcycles, rifles, boots .... and much much more. We are very grateful to previous divers who have left the wreck and its contents undisturbed - and we will do the same. In fact you will be diving in the Ras Mohammed Marine Reserve and there are strict no-touch, no-break, no-take rules, which we fully endorse.
Our final day will be our no-diving-before-flying day. Time for drying our kit, touring and (duty-free) shopping, and venturing out into the desert on camels or quad bikes.
Finally, we transfer back to the airport and return to Gatwick, wondering how soon we can come back.
This holiday is suited to ALL qualified divers, Junior OW and above.
Some optional dives (for example, Thistlegorm) are restricted to AOW and above. But dont be left out: it is a wonderful opportunity to gain your AOW certification with us in a fabulous environment and experience dives like the Thistlegorm as well.
And if you want to learn your dive theory and water skills with Invicta Divers here in the UK, but to complete your open water qualifying dives in the warmth, clarity and beauty of the Red Sea, this is your perfect opportunity. You can learn dive skills in the pool and study dive theory at home and in the classroom in advance, and not waste any of your precious holiday time couped up indoors cramming for a course !
Dont have all your kit ? We'll be happy to supply you or arrange kit hire for the week.
