Green Force diving can take you to the northern part of the Red Sea where beautiful shipwrecks are hidden under the clear blue surface, to the south where you can enjoy beautiful and colourful reefs, plateaus, drop-offs and the abundant Red Sea underwater life. Or we can go to the deeper south where one can visit pristine coral reefs and where you may expect the bigger fish like sharks, dolphins, barracudas and many more.

Proceedings of your cruise:

– Day 1: arrival + check-in (after 3 PM)
– Day 2: Departure from the port + diving day 1

Upon arrival we await you at the airport and go to the port where the boat is waiting for us (the berth of the boat depends on the chosen route). After check-in you will get a short briefing during which we’ll explain you the most important things you need to know about your upcoming adventure on our vessel.

The next morning, the Coast Guard will pay us a short visit to grand us permission to set off toward our first diving spot.

You will stay on board for 6 nights (full board). The 7th night you will either remain on board, or spend the night  in a comfortable 3* hotel.

We offer you 3 to 4 dives per day (last day 2 dives + keep in mind that night dives are prohibited in the Marine Park Areas).

Before each dive, our professional dive guides will give you a thorough briefing on the dive site you are about to visit. Feel free to ask your guides to guide you both above and under water!

With every route description you will find a description of some of the sites you will visit during your cruise. The chosen sites and the order in which they are visited may change due to weather conditions.
Please, do not hesitate to state any requests concerning the dive sites you are about to visit, it can only benefit your holiday experience ! Mind you: the final decision lies with the captain and the dive guides since the Red Sea, the weather conditions and the liveaboard are really their cup of tea.
