Fort Arabesque Diving

Overview

The Ultimate Convenience: Dive the Red Sea from the Beach
Experience the unparalleled ease and beauty of diving one of Makadi Bay's best house reefs. The Fort Arabesque house reef offers the unique opportunity to gear up and walk straight from the beach into a vibrant underwater world, no boat trip required. This easy access makes it a jewel for divers of all levels, from those taking their very first breath underwater to seasoned divers looking for a relaxed exploration. It is a thriving, beautiful reef right at your doorstep.

The Dive Plan and Experience
The dive here is all about flexibility and ease. After a simple walk across a sandy entry point, you will descend into shallow, calm water and swim out to the gently sloping reef wall. From there, you can choose your adventure: head north or south and explore the endless nooks and crannies of the reef. The shallow depth and excellent sunlight create a bright, colorful environment, perfect for spotting moray eels, pufferfish, and even the occasional octopus.

This site is our top choice for conducting the program, providing a safe and spectacular first-ever scuba experience. It's also where many of our students complete their dives and where certified divers can easily refresh their skills with a session.
