The richness of our house reef is so great that you will make many dives from the jetties. Some of our regular customers have done more than 300 dives and do not get tired of it.
We also offer many activities and excursions that allow you to arrange your stay according to your desires.
Once you have arrived at the dive center and after you have visited the facilities, we will present you various possible activities, the various dive sites that fit to your diving level, and the schedule of the current week.
The dive site you have dreamed of doing is not on the schedule? Come and tell us about it and we will see together if it is possible to organize it for you.

Diving with the Zodiac
To expand the housereef area and have more dive options, it is possible to go on a zodiac for drift dives, or to sites such as Nemo City or Zereb Soraya.
Some diving sites
Nemo city
The anemone garden begins at about 28m and goes up to over 35m. It is full of “clownfish” and extends over a large area. Afterwords you dive along the reef´s edge back to the pier. On the way back you should look from time to time into the blue water as often eagle rays pass by.
Zerib Kebir canyons
With the Zodiac you head south and then you dive back to the jetty through many canyons and caves. The light play and the vegetation in the canyons are breathtakingly beautiful. With some luck you can find nudibranch and seastars.
Zerib Soraya
Diving from the shore with Jeep & Minibus
The departure takes place in the morning from the center with jeep and minibus for shore dives. In general, after two dives, which can take place in two different sites, you will be back for lunch. In the afternoon, it is possible to a dive at the house reef.
We have many dive sites available. The easiest way is to make the choice of the dive site together on site, and according to the weather conditions.
