MARSA ALAm
EGYPT
OASIS DIVE RESORT
The area around Marsa Alam is rated as one of the best diving areas in the world and as one of the few diving areas in the Red Sea that`s not overrun by dive boats and divers.
It is situated on a long beach just north of Marsa Alam. The resort captivates with its unique architecture, it’s intimate ambiance.
It consists of 49 chalets arranged around the main building in the form of Bedouin village with small alleyways and winding steps of fossilized coral stone.
The especially beautiful ambience is made up by the dimmed floor lighting as the guests make their way to dinner or the reception area. And the view of the Red Sea from the terrace, with the whole of this lovely resort at your feet is unforgettable.
There is something here for everyone, either gently sloping dives from the beach, trips by car to more remote bays or boat/zodiac excursions to legendary reefs such as Elphinstone, Abu Dabbab and Samadai Reef.
House Reef
Directly in front of the diving centre there is a wonderful house reef. Here are fabulous conditions for beach dives and night dives.

The Chalets
Built with natural building materials in Nubian style with much attention spend on details. Each of these chalets is unique with an individual floor plan and varying stylish elements and colors influence the very tastefully decorated rooms with a main room, a spacious bathroom with shower and toilet.
There is an unrestricted and breathtaking view of the sea from the terrace of every air-conditioned chalet!
The walls of the famous Elphinstone reefs (deep sea white tipped reef sharks), the lush soft corals that grow down into the blue and decorated with sponges, the gorgonian fans and ferns, cast their spell over everyone. Abu Dabbab (Swim throughs and caves) and Samadai Reef (large schools of dolphins) are further highlights.
Most dive sites are reached by a van, the travelling time is between 5 minutes to 1 hour depending on the dive site. You will have your gear brought to water for you to easily access the dive site.
In addition, we will have two days of boat diving to the super reefs such as Elphinstone, Abu Dabbab and Samadai Reef.
Conservation Activity
You will have an opportunity to give back to the ocean by helping clean the reefs and the beaches. You will have mash bags and trash bags for most of your dives, while still enjoying your amazing dives you’d be able to contribute to the ocean.
The trash is collected at the end of your trip by the local environmental organization HEPCA and is properly recycled.
