Conservation
Local reefs face pressure from warming seas and physical damage—support operators that enforce no-touch rules, use reef-safe sunscreen, and limit anchoring on corals.

Protect your skin and eyes
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a broad-brim hat, and polarized sunglasses—the sun reflects strongly off the Red Sea while waiting on deck.
Plan for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding; the semi-sub hull is stable but waves and tender transfers can jostle.
Camera prep
Turn off flash and lower ISO when photographing through windows to reduce reflections and capture clearer reef images.
Hydrate before and after
Carry water from your hotel—soft drinks are provided, but desert heat and boat time call for pre-boarding hydration.
High-SPF sunscreen
Protects skin during sun exposure on deck and during transfers.
