Diving Roots Red Sea Part Two – The Local Reefs (Watch Video)
There’s something so enigmatic about shore diving – climbing into your kit on the beach and wading in to start a new adventure is something that is so appealing about scuba diving.
In this video we highlight three of the local shore dives available while staying at Roots Red Sea, with all three offering something different.
Both El Makluf and Serib Kabir are a short drive along the coast from Roots, and both transform you into an other-worldly place. Whether it be the excitement of dropping down into the reef floor into a cavern that wouldn’t be out of place from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, or witnessing Mother Nature at her best with coral stacks the size of houses that shimmer in the sunlight. Both of these sites are our favourites, and are both at the top of our list whenever we return to Roots Red Sea.
If it’s turtles you want, and are happy to venture a little further afield, the the giant green turtles at Abu Dabab are an absolute must for you! These graceful giants are peaceful, tranquil and more than happy to share some bottom time with you. Take a look…

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
