Great for Drop Offs, Reefs and Wrecks

If you are looking for a nearby diving destination with drop offs, reefs and wrecks, Lanzarote is bound to please and it is also renowned for its clear underwater visibility.

The volcanic landscape that is so impressive on the surface is equally as awe inspiring underwater with lava flows and cave formations providing divers with some fantastic areas to explore. Lanzarote has something to offer divers of all levels with sheltered areas suitable for beginners, as well as wrecks, caves and swim-throughs to suit more experienced divers.

The popular Canaries enjoy good weather practically all year round. Temperatures rarely drop below 16ºC and rise to around 30ºC in the summer, with an average of 6 to 11 hours of sunshine each day. 

Situated on the East Coast and 20 minutes from the airport, Puerto del Carmen is the principle and busiest resort on Lanzarote Island. The rocks are covered in anemones, sponges and soft corals and are home to a variety of marine life. The harbour wall wreck dive site is a designated Underwater Park containing a number of wrecks. Near the shore the sea bed is sandy and drops away to steep volcanic walls.

Grenada has the draw of reefs, wrecks and its underwater sculptures. With 30+ dive sites ranging in character from beautiful coral gardens suitable for inexperienced divers, through to adrenaline charged drift dives where encounters with a variety of rays and sharks are commonplace, it has something to offer everyone.

Nigel tells us, "I loved Grenada: it combines a terrific variety of diving with that famous Caribbean culture and stunning topside scenery. There are world famous wrecks, colourful reefs and plenty of marine life to keep all divers happy. 

I was particularly impressed with the experience and professionalism of the dive centres and their staff. It was a real pleasure witnessing the beautiful coastline of Grenada every morning from the dive boat, while sharing plenty of banter with the brilliant Dive Guides. 

I visited each of the hotels we feature and can honestly say that Regaldive offer excellent accommodation to suit all budgets and tastes. Would I go back? Of course!"

Regaldive works with two well established, 5* PADI IDC dive centres in Hurghada: Aquarius Diving Club, operating from the Marriott Beach Resort, and Divers' Lodge located at the Swiss Inn Resort.  These dive centres are well located and both offer a full range of dive courses, daily diving and snorkelling.

Regaldive offer a wide range of accommodation options in Hurghada, ranging from modern and spacious options, through to luxury hotels, all in convenient locations for the dive centres. 

Qualified Divers

Hurghada’s many dive sites offer an abundance of reef marine life and an incredible diversity of corals, including impressive towers and pinnacles to explore. Sha’ab El Erg is a particular favourite, a huge horseshoe-shaped reef that is dotted with ergs and is renowned for its resident dolphin pod.

The spectacular marine park surrounding the Giftun Islands is a highlight, with nearly ten sites and a variety of dive plans to suit all experience levels. There is enough here to keep most intermediate and experienced divers completely absorbed, including an incredible wall tumbling to more than 50m, drift dives and spectacular gorgonian fans, plus the opportunity to see larger reef species and the occasional passing pelagic.

For wreck enthusiasts there is no better experience than a day boat trip to the incredible Sha’ab Abu Nuhas which is usually available at least once a week. Situated about halfway between Hurghada and Ras Mohammed, this reef patch lies next to a major shipping lane and it is home to four complete wrecks. It is magical to swim into a cloud of glassfish on the Chrisoula K and the Giannis D and see lionfish stalking prey in dark corners of the hold.

Learning to Dive

Hurghada is the ideal place to dip your fins into the water for the first time. There numerous safe and sheltered sites that offer superb visibility to appreciate the fabulous marine life. Plentiful reefs sit in shallow water that is ideal for beginners. A full range of courses is offered at the dive centres and qualifying dives are undertaken at sites situated just a short boat ride away.
