Red Sea Waterworld arranges a boat leaving every day to the sites of the northern Red Sea. The boat leaves from the Taba Heights marina, which is located 100 meters from Red Sea Waterworld in Taba Heights. All the tanks are carried and loaded for you, and your equipment is also transported to the boat. All you have to do is check that your equipment is on board before the dive guide gives the instructions to leave.

Once away from the jetty the dive guide will give you a briefing on the boat facilities and safety procedures. All boats carry DAN Oxygen Kits, First Aid kits, Radio, and a limited selection of spare dive gear and weights.

Diving in Tabah is all done in areas where almost nobody has been diving before. It is not a place where you will find spectacular walls or enormous reefs, but due to the relatively untouched areas there is enough to discover for the recreational diver.

Most of the areas they dive have sandy bottom with several coral blocks. Ras Muqabella is the best dive site at present and exists of a shallow part with pinnacles and small fish down to a reef area from 12 meters sloping gradually down to 30 meters or more where you can encounter the unexpected bigger fish.

The area they cover with their boat is from Farun Island, which is 1 1/2 hours North by boat to Sudet Bay, which is 1 1/2 hours South.
The diving service includes tanks, weights and belt and the services of a dive guide to show you around the dive site. A private guide can be arranged if required.

Guests are picked up from their hotels by their bus at about 8am. It is then only a 10-15 minute drive to Red Sea Waterworld. They also drop guests off at their hotels at the end of the day, between 4-5pm.
Check in/equipment allocation is done at the RSWW (preferably the previous day), then a 2-minute walk to the boat. All tanks and clients' equipment is loaded by staff.The boat leaves at around 08.30-9.30am, depending on the dive destination.

You will need to bring towels, sunscreen and passports for all boat dives, together with 40LE for lunch (20LE if drinks only). Introductory dives and check dives are done from shore, in front of RSWW and at Marina Bay.

Note: the picture is one of theirs...I did not think they would mind!
