Scuba Diving in Makadi Bay
Makadi Bay offers daily diving programs for divers of all levels, allowing them to explore the diverse and biologically rich environment of the Red Sea’s reefs in a relaxed atmosphere. Boat trips to different dive sites are organised; most places are only 5-30 minutes away.
Additionally, guided and unguided half and full-day boat trips are available, as well as daily diving in the house reef from the jetty at Makadi Bay. All boats depart from the diving centre’s jetty, where tanks and weights are prepared in advance.
Panorama Reef, located in the Makadi and Safaga areas, is among the region’s most exciting and beautiful dive sites. The site’s name is derived from its status as the largest reef in the area, with the highest possibility of encountering unique underwater panoramas.
The site’s sharply angled profile is interrupted by several plateaus on which coral heads densely grow. The coral at the site is abundant and particularly rich in hard coral species, and the soft coral species are equally impressive.
The site is also home to various fish life, with exceptionally high activity levels in the early morning. Schooling fish of all kinds can be seen in large numbers, including Barracudas and silvery needlefish that hang patiently in the water.
Lucky divers may even be rewarded with a turtle or reef shark sighting. Underwater photographers will have plenty to explore with the plentiful nudibranchs and pipefish present, and vigilant divers may even spot a frogfish or seahorses. Dolphins are commonly encountered on the way to dive sites and may even be seen underwater.
