FREEDIVING WITH DOLPHINS
From the 23rd till 30th of November 2024 we invite you to share an unforgettable experience: swimming with dolphins, turtles and dugong in the open sea!
We will spend 7 days in the sea on a luxurious superyacht visiting the best dive sites of the beautiful Red Sea, and of course we'll spend few days in the Dolphin house, Sataya Reef.
Sataya Reef, just south of Marsa Alam in Egypt, is a unique location: there are no places with similar conditions on the planet. Hundreds of dolphins live here. They are used to people, curious and willing to make contact.
The trip is suitable even for those who have never dived, as we will teach you basic freediving skills with all the necessary knowledge and technique. If you still aren't able to equalise your ears, don't worry - all marine animals come to the surface or can stay within a depth of 10 meters. You don't need to dive deep - but we'll teach you how to equalise anyway.
