Daily boat dives

The heart of the Diving Star offer is the daily boat trips to the most beautiful dive sites in the Red Sea:

Two dives per day, changing spots depending on weather & experience level
Drift dives possible with Zodiac accompaniment
Full catering on board (lunch & drinks included)
No dive site is visited twice during the same stay

Whether colorful coral gardens, wrecks, or walls – the dive area around Hurghada offers the perfect experience for every taste.

Diving with Sharks

While classic day trips around Hurghada occasionally allow encounters with reef sharks (e.g., blacktip sharks), the hotspots for oceanic whitetip or hammerhead sharks are further south – for example, at the Brothers Islands or Daedalus Reef.

Diving Star can assist you in planning such tours or offers the perfect training to prepare you for future shark liveaboards. So if you are looking for large pelagic sharks, you should consider a combination of course + liveaboard.
