I would like to help protecting the Red Sea by joining eco-projects during my holiday.


The Eco-diving Adventure!


Red Sea Diving Safari offers you an interactive and scientifically based experience through our eco-diving program. Eco-diving is a relatively new term which describes an environmentally friendly and educative diving experience. Together with other nature lovers we come together and learn about marine biology and underwater eco-systems. This is a rare and unforgettable experience where we engage in exciting team work and share our passion and knowledge about the Red Sea.

“The Eco-diving Adventure” is an environment that was created for nature lovers and divers. This concept was designed as a way to bring awareness to the Red Sea’s delicate eco-system and culture heritage.

We work with a 'soft impact' concept as a way of promoting sustainable tourism development for the region. This concept is based on maximizing the number of rooms of a resort according to the carrying capacity of the house reefs. This ensures that the house reefs will not be 'over-dived' and our guests enjoy an exclusive and nature-based vacation.

We are involved in a wide range of efforts and educative programs like Shark School and Reef Check, beach and reef clean-up projects, implementation of mooring systems, reef protection initiatives like the Samadai Project, solid waste management projects, water recycling systems and much more.  


Hossam Helmy, C.E.O. of Red Sea Diving Safari stated:

"My life’s effort has been protecting and bringing awareness to the Red Sea’s delicate eco-system and culture heritage. My dream is a sustainable development plan for the southern Red Sea region, which is based on maximizing the number of guests according to the carrying capacity of the reefs. 

Red Sea Diving Safari was formed 20 years ago by a group of people who shared the same passion for an adventure based and close to nature retreat. We were individuals from many different parts of the world and this place became a home to us.  

During these times the southern Red Sea (Safaga on south) was frontier land with absolutely nothing out here but barren desert and fringing reef coastline. Our safari would travel along the coastline camping from bay to bay as we went. This is how Red Sea Diving Safari first began in 1990.  

I watched this place grow like it was my own child. I was one of the first people to explore the southern Red Sea and I am considered one of the pioneer’s here. I feel a great responsibility to this place and have made it my life goal to make people aware of how fragile this eco-system is. My team and I are actively engaged in environmental issues and initiatives. We feel as if general awareness is the key to protecting this region from the mass tourism that has plagued the whole of the Red Sea in recent years.”
