Go Diving – Diving Center Marsa Alam

Located in the heart of Marsa Alam, Go Diving is positioned within the Blue Vision Diving Hotel, serving as a central hub for divers exploring the southern Red Sea. The centre operates with a high degree of flexibility, covering a wide area that extends from El Quseir down to Marsa Alam City and Port Ghalib.

By maintaining their own fleet of speedboats, the centre can tailor excursions to the specific needs of the day. This independence allows for more spontaneous planning, whether you are heading out for a quick morning dive or a full-day trip to more remote reef systems.

The team at Go Diving is composed of certified guides, captains, and drivers who focus on providing a personalised service. Their approach is built around safety and professional standards, ensuring that every excursion is managed by experienced hands.

They provide organised transfers to various dive and snorkeling sites, making the logistics of your trip seamless. The staff is trained to handle a variety of diving styles, from relaxed reef flat snorkeling to more demanding offshore boat dives.

Go Diving offers training for those looking to start their journey in the water through Introduction to Diving (baptism) sessions. These are designed to give you a first taste of the underwater world in a controlled manner.

The centre is equipped to handle various diving needs, focusing on providing a professional environment for those exploring the Red Sea's unique ecosystems.

The centre operates its own fleet of speedboats, which are used for a variety of trips including reef explorations and full-day excursions. These vessels allow for quick transit to sites like Elphinstone Reef and provide the flexibility to adjust itineraries based on local conditions.

On board the boats, you can enjoy complimentary drinks during your trips. The speedboats are the primary tool for reaching the more iconic offshore sites that are inaccessible from the shore.

A full range of rental kit is available on-site, including wetsuits, BCDs, masks, fins, and regulators. They also provide dive computers for those who prefer not to carry their own. All rental equipment is regularly inspected to ensure it meets safety standards.

For those who prefer to bring their own gear, the centre provides the necessary facilities to rinse and maintain your kit after each dive.

The area is renowned for its large pelagics and resident marine life. You can expect to see various sharks, including grey reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos), silky sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis), and the occasional hammerhead shark (Sphyrna). Dolphins (Delphinidae) are frequently sighted, and the area is a significant location for observing turtles, such as the Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and the Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata).

In the seagrass meadows and sandy patches, look for the Dugong (Dugong dugon), a rare and majestic sight. You will also encounter various rays, including blue-spotted stingrays and Southern stingray (Hypanus americanus), alongside schools of fish like Snapper (Lutjanus) and Fusilier (Caesio).

The reef architecture is built upon a stunning variety of hard corals (Scleractinia) and soft corals (Alcyonacea). You will see many Gorgonian (Gorgonacea) fans and various colorful sponges (Porifera) decorating the walls and ledges.

For those interested in macro life, the crevices and reef structures host an array of smaller creatures. Keep an eye out for Octopus (Octopoda), various species of Wrasse (Labridae), Scorpionfish (Scorpaenidae), and Nudibranch (Chromodoris willani). Seahorse (Hippocampus) and Frogfish (Antennariidae) can also be found amongst the corals and sponges.

The centre's location allows for a variety of dive types, ranging from shore-based reef flat dives to offshore speedboat trips. The specific conditions of each site will vary depending on whether you are diving a sheltered reef or an open-water offshore site.
