We depart around 7:30 in the morning to ensure our arrival coincides with the opening of the national park and to reach the reef before the diving boats. This timing increases our chances of encountering marine life such as tuna, turtles and sharks.
FIRST WATER SESSION
ON YOLANDA REEF
We arrive at the beach around 8 am, and by 8:30 we are in the water. We spend our time exploring the surroundings, capturing beautiful photographs, and diving near two massive underwater rocks adorned with corals. These formations begin just below the surface and extend down to comfortable depths of 10-15 m on one side, with the other side offering deeper and even more stunning vistas.
By 10 am, we exit the water to relax and have lunch. It's a perfect time to discuss the wonders of the Red Sea and share our impressions of the experience.

Deceptively, a very narrow and unassuming entry point at the water's edge leads to an underwater cavern – a hidden gem accessible to AIDA 3 level freedivers. This cave, with its entrance merely half a meter below the surface, stretches for about 10 m. Upon exiting, you emerge at a depth of around 10 m and are greeted by a magnificent crevice that descends along a sheer wall to the staggering depth of about 800 meters. As we follow this vertical expanse, we'll encounter two more captivating underwater caves, peering into their depths if we choose to do so.
SECOND WATER SESSION AT SHARK OBSERVATORY REEF
GOING ASHORE AND RELAXING
After the second water session, we will take roughly an hour's rest within the national park's bounds, enjoying a snack, capturing beautiful shots, and getting ready for the journey back to the city.
Our excursion will conclude between 14:30 and 15:00, after which you'll be able to enjoy some peaceful downtime back at your hotel.
