Great group dive deals with Oonasdivers and Red Sea Diving Safari
Red Sea Diving Safari offers a diving experience like no other! You wake up in your beach front accommodation to the sights and sounds of the Red Sea, get kitted up and go. The stunning 2km house reef at Marsa Shagra is accessible for over 12 hours a day and with your unlimited diving package you can dive as much, or as little, as you like.
Established in 1990 Marsa Shagra was discovered by Hossam Helmy and his pioneering dive team known as Red Sea Diving Safari whilst exploring the fringe reef on the Egyptian coastline between Safaga and Sudan. Marsa Shagra is one of three natural bays, which also include Marsa Nakari and Wadi Lahami, which essentially put the region of Marsa Alam on the divers map.
For many successful years Oonasdivers have worked closely with Red Sea Diving Safari (RSDS), their partners in the southern Red Sea, arranging group trips for customers that return time and time again. The three Red Sea Diving resorts (Marsa Shagra, Marsa Nakari and Wadi Lahami) each offer different diving options and have excellent access to some world class dive spots such as Elphinstone, Dolphin House and Fury Shoals. In conjunction with RSDS the Oonasdivers team can offer an Open Water Referral Package where divers can complete their qualification at the same time as enjoying a dedicated diving holiday in a unique location.
Prices start at £995 for the Open Referral package and include: direct flights from Birmingham to Marsa Alam (Gatwick departures also available, prices on request), return airport transfers, 7 nights twin share beach Safari Tent (Marsa Nakari), full board & selected soft drinks, PADI Open Water referral, Certification Fee, 3 days unlimited house reef diving after course and full equipment hire including computer.
Oonasdivers can also arrange group trips from £895 per person with the following benefits: unlimited house reef diving at Marsa Shagra and Marsa Nakari ideal for teaching, large sandy bottom bay with pool like conditions, suitable for all levels of diver, great diving for mixed ability group and night dives at no extra cost.
To enquire or book just give the Oonasdivers team a call on 01323 648924 and they can answer any questions you may have and give you the lowdown on the destination and diving. Visit www.oonasdivers.com for more.
