Port Ghalib Red Sea Diving Excursion
Overview
Discover the vibrant underwater marvels of the Red Sea with an unforgettable diving day trip from Port Ghalib.
This full-day Red Sea diving trip departs from Port Ghalib for two guided dives at separate reef sites, an outing suited to both first-time and experienced divers. The day begins with a transfer from your Port Ghalib hotel to the marina, where you board the dive boat and meet your certified instructor for a safety briefing and a short medical questionnaire before gearing up.
The first dive, typically 30 to 40 minutes, explores a coral reef under your instructor's direct supervision, giving you time to take in the reef structure and the fish moving through it. After surfacing, lunch is served on board before the boat repositions for a second dive at a different site, adding a change of scenery before the return to Port Ghalib in the afternoon.
Round-trip hotel transfers, lunch, and complimentary mineral water and soft drinks are included alongside the two guided dives, so the day runs with little for divers to arrange themselves; personal expenses and gratuities for the instructor and crew are the only costs left to travelers. The two-site format works well for underwater photographers and casual snorkelers turned divers alike, since each stop offers a different stretch of reef rather than repeating the same view twice.
