Diving World Sharm El Sheikh was one of the first Underwater Diving Centres in this part of the world. It has been operating since 1990 and in 1999 moved to a new base within the tourist port of Marina Travco, where all the boats of the various diving centres leave, becoming an important name in the underwater diving world of Sharm El Sheikh. Logistically speaking, the tourist port of Marina Travco is one of the best in Sharm El Sheikh since it is extremely close to Ras Mohammed, one of the most famous underwater diving spots in the world. A free transport service is provided to take guests to and from their hotels to the Diving Centre.

THE CENTRE AND ITS SERVICES

A wide space out in the open just a few metres away from the main docking area is available to clients that need to rinse their personal equipment. The covered area of the Diving Centre stretches over 120 square metres and includes a reception hall with a storehouse for rentable equipment, administrative offices, classrooms and the Diving World boutique.

DAILY DIVES

Every  morning the boats set out in the direction of the most interesting underwater diving areas, usually situated at distances of 50 minutes to an hour and a half sailing. Two underwater diving expeditions are organised during the outing with a break for lunch on board between the two. Non divers can also take part on these outings and snorkel along the beautiful barrier reefs.

NIGHT DIVES

Night diving expeditions are arranged once a week. Boarding takes place at sunset and return is made in time for dinner immediately after the underwater diving expedition.
