Description
Every morning intrepid divers set out on day boats to explore the thousands of kilometres of Red Sea coastline blessed with extensive reef formations and islands. The day starts at around 8.30am (depending on your chosen dive centre and resort), heading out to the first dive site. On the way or on arrival your guide will give a briefing about the site, the dive profile and safety procedures.
During the surface interval the crew will serve a mouth-watering buffet style hot lunch. During this time the boat will move to another site for the afternoon dive. The afternoon dive is usually concluded by about 2.30-3.00pm, after which the boat returns to the resort.
The boats offer you a high degree of comfort, with saloon, sun deck, bathroom facilities and a kitchen. All boats are equipped with VHF radios, oxygen and first aid equipment for your safety.
Please note that in Eilat boat diving operates in the morning only, departing at 9.30am and returning by 1pm (does not include lunch). This allows divers the chance of a third shore/night dive or the opportunity to relax and enjoy the resort's facilities.
In some of our resorts, you can choose diving packages that combine both boat and shore diving.
