Dolphins are wild animals, and nobody can promise you an encounter. What we can offer is the right place to look. Shaab El Erg and Fanous, north of Hurghada off El Gouna, are two Red Sea reefs known for their dolphins, and both are good dive sites in their own right. Shaab El Erg is a horseshoe-shaped reef with gardens of hard coral, and Fanous is a large, sheltered reef.On this trip you make two boat dives in one day. Your dive team chooses the site with you according to the conditions, with Shaab El Erg as the first choice when they allow. Whether dolphins appear is up to them: we keep our distance and never chase them.This is a regular reef dive for certified divers, with no special certification required. When you book, please tell us your certification level and the date of your last dive.The boat leaves from El Gouna. We pick you up from your Hurghada hotel, drive you to El Gouna and bring you back after the second dive. Between the dives you relax on deck with lunch, plus water, soft drinks and hot drinks. Non-diving companions are welcome on board and join the snorkelling stops with our snorkelling instructor; their places are booked separately.Tank and weights are included. Diving equipment is not included in the price: bring your own or rent a full set from us. Nitrox and a dive computer are available for an extra fee, and our photographers can film the dives for an extra fee.We confirm the pick-up time and details with you on WhatsApp before the trip.
