Soma Bay Diving Excursion
Overview
Discover the incredible underwater world of the Red Sea with a private diving excursion from Soma Bay.
This one-day diving excursion from Soma Bay is built around two separate dives at different Red Sea locations, led throughout by a certified private diving instructor rather than a shared group guide. After a hotel pickup and short transfer to the marina, the boat carries divers out to the first site before returning between dives for lunch on board.
Full diving equipment, including BCD, regulator, mask, fins, wetsuit, and weights, is provided as part of the package, so travelers without their own gear can join without renting separately. The two dive sites are chosen to show different sides of the Red Sea's underwater terrain, from soft and hard coral formations to the reef fish that live among them.
Lunch, bottled mineral water, and soft drinks are served on board across the day, and all necessary dive permits and fees are arranged in advance as part of the booking. Round-trip transfers from your Soma Bay hotel, the private instructor, two guided dives, full equipment rental, food and drink, and applicable taxes and service charges are all included.
Only personal expenses and optional gratuities for the guide and crew are excluded. With a private instructor and two dives built into a single day, this suits both certified divers looking for guided sites and less experienced divers who want closer supervision underwater.
