Bubbles Team

Located in Dahab, Bubbles Team operates as a versatile hub for both recreational and technical divers. The centre is positioned to serve those looking for the unique shore diving Dahab is famous for, as well as those wanting to head out on boat trips to more remote reefs.

Whether you are looking to complete your first Open Water Diver course or you are a technical diver seeking Decompression Procedures training, the centre provides the necessary infrastructure. They coordinate daily with local captains to monitor water movements and site conditions, ensuring that dive locations are selected based on the safest and most suitable conditions for the day.

The centre is run by an experienced team of instructors providing instruction in English. They maintain a strict ratio of one guide for every four divers, a practice designed to ensure close supervision and a high level of safety during every excursion.

Their training programmes cover the full spectrum of diving, from beginner levels through to professional Divemaster qualifications. For those moving into the technical realm, they offer specialised instruction in sidemount and decompression protocols.

Bubbles Team offers a wide array of PADI and SDI courses. Beginners can start with Discover Scuba Diving, Scuba Diver, or Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water combinations. For those looking to specialise, they provide courses in Nitrox, Deep Diver, Night Diver, Navigation Diver, and Peak Performance Buoyancy.

Technical training is a significant part of their curriculum, including Intro To Tech, Technical Sidemount, and Decompression Procedures. They also offer specialised training such as Dry Suit Diver, Sidemount Diver, Search and Recovery Diver, and Underwater Photography.

The centre organises boat excursions to various sites around the Sinai Peninsula. For those looking to extend their diving, they facilitate Red Sea liveaboards using vessels ranging from 22 to 40 metres in length, with capacities between 10 and 30 divers.

Full equipment hire is available on-site, including masks, snorkels, fins, and wetsuits. For divers preferring to use their own kit, the centre offers reduced rates for those providing their own equipment.

Nitrox is available for use, and the centre provides 12-litre cylinders for all dives. The service includes weights and transport to the dive sites.

The reefs are home to a vast array of marine life, including schools of fish, snapper schools, and various reef fish such as Anthias, Butterflyfish, and Bannerfish. You will often see larger residents like Grouper (Epinephelus), Napoleon wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), and large pelagic fish including Jacks (Carangidae) and Trevally.

During certain periods, you may encounter pelagics such as oceanic whitetip sharks and Manta rays. Other common sightings include turtles, rays (Batoidea), and various sharks such as the Whitetip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus) and Grey reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos).

For those interested in macro life, the seabed and reef structures host Nudibranch (Chromodoris willani), Seahorse (Hippocampus kuda), Octopus (Octopus vulgaris), and various species of shrimp (Caridea). You can also find Scorpionfish (Scorpaenidae), Stonefish (Synanceia), and Lionfish (Pterois volitans) amongst the corals and anemones.

The centre monitors local water movements and site conditions daily through consultation with local captains. Dive sites are selected on a day-by-day basis to ensure they are appropriate for the current conditions.
