Itinerary / Highlights

The Taba coastline is an ideal place to learn to dive, or just to snorkel, with very shallow reefs around 12-14 metres being accessible straight from the beaches. Pristine coral reefs are found close to the shore and there are numerous secluded bays, coves and lagoons waiting to be discovered. Red Sea Waterworld will introduce you to the area.

Red Sea Waterworld, based in Taba Heights, is part of Sinia Services which has over twenty-five years experience in the diving and water sports sectors in the Sinai area. This is an ideal location to learn to dive or even just try diving, as the conditions are very easy and the training facilities are excellent.

For the qualified divers, boats leave every day to the sites of the northern Red Sea. The boat leaves from the Taba Heights marina, which is located 100 metres from Red Sea Waterworld in Taba Heights. All the tanks are carried and loaded for you, and your equipment is also transported to the boat. All you have to do is check that your equipment is on board before the dive guide gives the instructions to leave. The diving service includes tanks, weights and belt and the services of a dive guide to show you around the dive site. A private guide can be arranged if required. Guests are picked up from their hotels by bus at about 8 a.m. It is then only a 10-15 minute drive to Red Sea Waterworld. We also drop guests off at their hotels at the end of the day between 4-5pm.
