Dive Club Port GhalibResort

Dive Club Port Ghalib has worked the Red Sea between Hurghada and Marsa Alam since 1986, and now runs from a brand-new, purpose-built center in the heart of Port Ghalib. The house reef is a few steps away, the boats tie up right at the marina jetty, and the airport at Marsa Alam is under 15 minutes off. A free daily transfer collects guests from wherever they stay.

Sites include Abu Dabab, Marsa Mubarak, Samadai and Sataya, and the house reef has big green turtles. The PADI 5 Star Dive Resort also offers technical diving, freediving, mermaid courses, snorkeling and conservation programs.

Staff teach in seven languages, including German, Italian, Arabic and Polish.
