FAQ
When is the best time for diving/dive safaris in Egypt?
The Red Sea can be dived year-round. Spring and autumn are particularly popular because water temperatures and visibility are pleasant. In summer the water can be very warm but thermals and winds may increase. In winter temperatures drop so choosing the right wetsuit is important. Conditions also vary by route: northern routes are known for wrecks and reefs, while offshore southern spots such as Brothers, Daedalus or Elphinstone are more sensitive to wind and weather.
Which dive safari routes does Dabuka offer?
Dabuka offers various dive safari routes in the Red Sea. Northern routes are known for famous wrecks and colourful reefs, while the classic BDE route (Brothers, Daedalus, Elphinstone) has an open-sea character with chances of big fish encounters. Programs usually last seven nights on board, starting and ending in Hurghada or Marsa Alam depending on the route. Specific dive sites vary with permits and weather conditions.
What does a dive safari cost and what tipping is customary?
Prices for dive safaris vary by route, season, boat category and cabin type. Dabuka's programs start from around 970 USD per person for a northern-route safari. Routes featuring wrecks, offshore spots or shark encounters are priced higher, typically between 1,000 and 1,200 USD. After an inquiry you will receive an individual fixed offer with all included services. Tipping is usually collected at the end of the trip and distributed evenly; the exact amount is stated in the trip details.
What prerequisites/equipment do I need?
For more challenging offshore spots like Brothers, Daedalus or Elphinstone we recommend at least an Advanced Open Water certification, recent diving experience and confidence in handling currents and depth. Wetsuit choice depends on the season: thinner suits are fine in summer while thicker suits are recommended in winter. Rental equipment and Nitrox are available subject to availability. Depth recommendations conform to international standards such as PADI.
How safe are dive safaris in the Red Sea?
Dive safaris in the Red Sea are considered safe because all operations are accompanied by licensed guides. Before each dive participants receive a detailed briefing on procedures, safety rules and emergency measures. Oxygen, first aid kits and an emergency plan are available on board. It is important that divers assess their medical fitness beforehand and follow travel advisories. This way safety and trouble-free diving can be ensured.
