This story started when 4 water lovers and marine life enthusiasts came together: a geological scientist, a sea captain, an actor and a diving instructor. Our love of the vast blue waters and marine life made our paths cross. The passion, goal and vision to preserve this planet drove us to start our own diving center and school to spread awareness and share our love and knowledge of diving and marine life with everyone. Our dive center is a unique venue that aims at sharing this passion for diving, learning and keeping our planet sustainable for generations to come. This is why we offer training courses in the field of marine biology, environmental studies and research to ensure and follow up nature's wellness periodically. If you plan on visiting Dahab soon, we would love to meet you and share our excitement for the big blue world.
We are SlyDive.
Dahab's #1 Diving Center.
