Egypt / Extra Divers Sharm el Naga
The Extra Divers dive centre is directly connected to the Viva Blue Sharm el Naga Resort. The resort is approximately 40 minutes by car from Hurghada Airport and just 8 km from Soma Bay. If you're looking to avoid large hotel complexes, crowded beaches, and noisy entertainment, this is the perfect place for you.
The house reef at Viva Blue Sharm el Naga is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the Red Sea. Due to relatively low diving activity in the past, the dive sites around Sharm el Naga Bay are exceptionally well-preserved. Surrounding dive sites can be reached quickly and easily from the private jetty with a speedboat, offering a fantastic underwater experience.
Diving/Dive spots
An untouched house reef in a protected marine area, just a few hundred metres from the well-known dive sites Shaab Saiman and Sharm el Rashed, offers both beginners and advanced divers a diverse range of dive experiences.
The area around the secluded Sharm el Naga Bay, located between Hurghada and Safaga, has remained largely undisturbed, preserving its rich underwater biodiversity. A staircase from the jetty provides direct access to the house reef, which drops off steeply in several stages. Here, you can encounter crocodile fish, nudibranchs, small marine life, as well as turtles and rays. Occasionally, even a whale shark has been spotted.
One of the many conveniences of the dive centre is the tank service, which includes transporting your tanks to the entry point at the jetty.
The dive centre is well-equipped and offers a wide range of services. Short trips to nearby dive sites are made by speedboat, while full-day excursions from Safaga reach some of the Red Sea's top dive spots, such as the Salem Express, Panorama Reef, and Abu Kafan.
Team & Education
The dive centre is managed by a German-speaking team. Training is offered from Introductory Dives to Assistant Instructor according to SSI standards, and up to Divemaster under PADI.
Courses are available in German, English, and Arabic, and include all SSI specialty courses, including Sidemount and Solo Diving.
Our small, friendly team includes reception staff, dive instructors, divemasters, captains, and support crew. Most of our team members have many years of experience in the diving industry, providing a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
