All the divers, without exception, must have SMB, torch or strobe, and a pocket reflective device ( plastic pocket mirror or a device that reflects the sun and can be carried in the BCD pocket).
A diving and environmental fee of 20€ for the 6 days is payable on board at the beginning of the cruise.

During the cruise, several dives are organised (final day 2 dives and sometimes on the first day if the cruise starts late): 16 dives is the average per week. This includes night dives. Please bring a torch for night dives.
You must have a diving computer.

A French speaking guide will be on board.

Traditionally in Egypt a tip should be given to the crew at the end of the week. Around 20€ per guest.
This tip is not compulsory, the amount is purely a guide. However you will realise that our crews deserve it.

If you have room left in your luggage you can bring aperitives for the end of the day or something to please the dive guide (dry sausage, cheese, nice bottle of wine or chocolate...)
