Scuba Diving with Red Sea Diving Safari

Bringing you the highest standards of diving

The diving program of Red Sea Diving Safari is designed to accommodate any level diver from beginner to advanced and all aspects of the RSDS experience promote maximum diving enjoyment.

Our three villages were created in consideration of diving enthusiasts and our diving program covers more than 60 shore-based and off-shore dive sites.Our villages feature superb house reefs which are home to hundreds of marine life species and an excellent variety of soft and hard corals.

Our diving program gives you the options of unlimited house-reef diving, night diving, boat diving and speedboat diving to offshore reefs. We also have options for free divers and technical divers.

We offer different packages in each village to allow you to make the most of the diving opportunities available in the region, and to give you the ultimate flexibility on your diving holiday. Please see our village pages for details about our different diving concepts, diving education, dive sites, diving packages and facilities.

Our diving package in Wadi Lahami is designed for maximum diving enjoyment in the famous area of the Fury Shoals:
In Wadi Lahami we dive by high-performance RIB (ridged inflatable boats) only.

Classic Diving Program:
Includes up to 4 dives per day (at fixed times): 2 guided dives to the Fury Shoals to (Zone 1 and/or 2) + 1 unguided afternoon dive to Zone 1 + 1 unguided night dive on the fringing reef Torfa per day*.

Optional on-site:
Dives in Zone 3, Satayah Excursions (optional & to be paid on site/min. 4 pax for snorkel trips by speed-boat to Dolphin Reef), night dives outside the house reef.

From Wadi Lahami we cover over 30 different dive sites, which include Shaab Maksour (drop off reef like Elphinstone further North with the chance to see sharks and an arch in 38m), Satayah (Dolphin Reef – big lagoon as home of spinner dolphins), Abu Galawa (wreck & coral-pool dive), Shaab Claudia (cave dive), and many others. This region is known as the Fury Shoals and is home to an enormous reef complex which offers various types of diving including a cave diving spot as well as 4different wreck dive sites. The hard corals which make up the reef topography of the Fury Shoals are believed to be the one of best examples in the world. This is a great opportunity to dive the ‘deep south,’ whilst having the freedom and flexibility of being land based. This place is for adventurous divers seeking the opportunity to discover pristine reefs in a no frills “close to nature” environment.

* Please note:

Diving in Lahami is suitable for any level diver. Divers with less than 20 logged dives and have not been diving within 6 months will be required to take a scuba review.
For safety and comfort, those who have any back or other medical conditions should ensure they are prepared and fit for varying sea conditions which can make RIB diving a bit difficult during winter months.
In winter months please bring a wind jacket and cap with you for the surface interval.
As long as a diver is joining at least the 2-dive morning trip, they will pay the full diving day price.
Divers who wish to participate in the night dive must be certified to do so. Divers who are not certified will be required to have a private guide at extra charge.
There is no reduction in the package price for those who do not participate in the afternoon or night dives for any reason.
Our team will select the dive sites according to many factors including weather conditions, diving ability of the guests, dive sites already visited, personal preferences, safari boat schedules, etc. We thank you for putting your trust in our team to give you the most enjoyable and safe experience.
