This extended itinerary travels farther south than most Red Sea trips, reaching Zabargad and Rocky Island, known for their sheer walls and pelagic life. Zabargad features a seamount with giant gorgonians, while Rocky Island is home to tuna, barracuda and occasional sharks. Sataya Dolphin Reef offers multiple chances to snorkel with spinner dolphins, guided by a marine biologist. Night dives reveal soft corals and Spanish dancer nudibranchs. Water temperatures peak around 30 °C, with visibility 25–35 m. The 9‑day itinerary balances high‑adrenaline dives with beach barbecues and stargazing on remote islands, giving divers a rare glimpse of the Red Sea’s untouched wilderness.

  • Advanced Open Water certification (40+ dives) recommended.
  • Water temps 27–30 °C; 3–5 mm wetsuit with hood for comfort.
  • Night dives require primary and back‑up torches.
  • Some crossings are longer; motion‑sickness tablets can help.
  • Respect dolphin guidelines at Sataya—no chasing or touching.

I have joined Nemo Diving Center on more than handful of their diving and snorkelling day trips, and recently experienced their incredible overnight trip to Oman. It was clear from my first trip that they will forever remain my choice of dive center in the UAE. Read More

Karim and the team made our day; they knew exactly where to find turtles and never rushed us. I felt completely safe and had so much fun!
