Our dive boats leave from the jetty just 70m from our dive centre so divers and snorkelers can easily stroll along the beach to one of the Freedom fleet. As we own the jetty our boats should be the first to leave. 30 minutes cruising and you are in the world class diving area of the Straits of Tiran teeming with marine life. There you will find steep walls, coral gardens, exciting drifts, pelagic fish, sharks and rays. The beautiful dive sites of Ras Nasrani and Ras Gamila are only 15 minutes away. The National Park of Ras Mohammed is within easy reach of the day boats and the wrecks of the Thistlegorm and Dunraven are only a few hours away. We also offer exciting single RIB dives, night dives and early morning shore dives. A typical day starts around 08:00 with a short walk from the dive centre to our jetty. On the journey to the dive site your guide will brief you about the site and the various safety procedures. After the first dive a delicious hot buffet lunch is provided on board before moving to a second dive site for the afternoon dive. Occasionally this plan may alter if weather conditions and our diver’s requests change. The boats normally arrive back at the jetty between 16:00 – 17:30.
In summer special diving trips can be arranged at 16:00 to try and spot the elusive hammerhead sharks at the back of Jackson Reef in Tiran – as all the day boats will have left by then you will often be the only boat in the area.
