hamata, new dive centre, emperor divers, hamata diving

Hamata is the most southerly diving resort in the Egyptian Red Sea. The remoteness of this area makes it the ultimate in ‘get away from it all’ diving. Emperor Divers has opened a new dive centre based at the Zabargad Berenice Resort in Hamata. The new dive centre is on the doorstep of Fury Shoals and Qulan Islands, which can be dived daily. Fabulous house reef and boat diving is offered from the small marina. 

Emperor’s diving boat is just three minutes away at the marina, whilst the house reef is within walking distance and a great choice for divers with non-diving partners and for underwater photographers.

This part of the southern Red Sea is pristine and delivers diving days that echo those early times of ‘pioneering’ diving, far away from the crowds. The dive sites around Hamata offer big fish, bigger corals, small critters, wrecks, shallow caverns and steep drop-offs with typically stunning visibility.

Guests can often have stunning sites like Sha’ab Hamham Said, Gota Bohar and Gota Sataya Soraya all to themselves, whilst, of course, being able to visit the famous liveaboard sites Sha’ab Claudio, Sha’ab Maksour and Malahi . There are also a few wrecks in the area such as the sailing yacht on Abu Galawa Sorayer and Tien Hsing on Abu Galawa Kebir.
