Egypt / Extra Divers Fayrouz

HOUSE REEF DIVING, PLUS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SPOTS AROUND MARSA ALAM
The Extra Divers dive centre is located right on the beach of the Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza Beach
Resort. The centre is excellent, not only because of its prime location right on the hotel’s beach near the jetty, but more than anything because of the dive sites. Several sites from Port Ghalib to Marsa Alam can be accessed by boat or minibus. The enchanting local reef provides the best conditions for an unforgettable diving experience.

Diving/Dive spots

The wonderful house reef is directly in front of the hotel and can be easily reached via a jetty just a few metres from the centre. Due to the location of the entry and exit points, diving on the house reef is possible in (almost) all kinds of weather. The Red Sea’s entire range of colours can be seen. The intact coral reef drops down in stages. This is where divers meet the various inhabitants of the sea, including octopuses, moray eels and rays. Barracudas and turtles are frequently seen, and from time to time manta rays and whitetip reef sharks pass by.

The Port Ghalib Marina is a mere five-minute drive north of the centre. Boat trips set out from Port Ghalib, Equinox and Marsa Alam. Minibus trips (half-day and full-day tours) leave directly from the dive centre. Additional day boat trips and Zodiac trips are offered in conjunction with our Equinox centre. The diving locations can be reached in 15 to 90 minutes, and the range of dive sites stretches from El Quseir to Marsa Alam. Marsa Abu Dabab for example, can be reached by minibus. Diving on the Abu Dabab reefs, Elphinstone Reef, Abu Sail and Shaab Samadai (Dolphin House) is from the boat. After the dive you can sit down in comfort back at the centre and have a friendly chat with other divers.

Team & Education

The spaciously designed Extra Divers dive centre is under professional management of Mirjam Bouwmeester. The well-trained and experienced team provides multilingual small-group training in compliance with SSI, PADI and PRO-NRC standards, from Open Water Diver to Divemaster, as well as all popular specialities.

Important Notice: New entertainment tax in Egypt

Unfortunately, the Egyptian parliament quickly, secretly and without warning passed a new type of entertainment tax, which must be paid to the Egyptian tax office from July 16, 2023.
Unfortunately, this amusement tax also applies to all diving services and so we, like all other diving centers on the Red Sea, must pay this tax to the state from July 16, 2023.
The tax rate is 10% on the full invoice amount and unfortunately, we must collect this 10% on the final invoice amount from July 16th. All other taxes such as the statutory sales tax (value add tax) of currently 14%. are still included in our prices.
