Red Sea Diving Academy
‘I want to see a shark’, ‘when is the best time to see sharks’, ‘can you promise me sharks?’……. We hear these statements and questions a lot in our job! When you’ve never seen a shark before there is the excited anticipation of not knowing what to expect or how the shark will interact with you which can lead to some hoping to not see any whilst diving.
In response to this, we always tell divers that the shark is way more scared of you than you are of it, really! We’re noisy underwater, with all that expelled air and movement, sharks are not likely to hang around much more than a minute or two once they spot you, preferring instead to head back down to the deep for some peace and quiet.
Shark Bay is deservedly considered one of the most popular dive sites in the Red Sea. The reef, about 450 meters long (not counting the length of the plateaus to the north and south), lies 11 kilometers east of the mainland and 26 kilometers north of Marsa Alam.
Due to the often strong currents, which also prevent night dives, large fish regularly congregate here, and the opportunity to observe sharks and dive at the beautifully vegetated reef walls attracts divers. Because of its proximity to land, daily boats can easily reach it, so you can often find ten or more boats competing for the best moorings south of the reef – you’ll rarely be alone.
Picking up from the hotel starts in the morning between 06:00-07:30. The time depends on the location of your hotel. Transfer by air-conditioned car to the most famous bay in the area of Marsa Alam, then we prepare our diving equipment.
You will find our speed boat waiting for us to take us to Sharks Bay.
There you will find a lot of Sharks (large and small different kinds), shoals of fish, and lots of colorful fish and rays.
One day – two dives. You will receive an introduction and instructions on how to discover the underwater world. The instructor will explain everything again just before each dive. Then you will start two dives with our instructor.
