Pharoah Dive Club based at the award winning Roots Resort, is a well-run and internationally well-known dive centre. The English / Egyptian team are highly qualified, professional and attentive and will ensure that every diver has the safest and memorable stay.
For a long time El Quseir has been overlooked by divers in favour of the more popular resorts further north, however the pristine sites which surround this area offer unique and varied diving close to the shore. The Reefs are uncrowded and make the diving experience all the more enjoyable. Pharoah Dive centre with the use of a Hard Day boat will also organise dive excursions to the further offshore dive sites including Elphinstone Reef and further north the Wreck of the Salem Express. Explore the numerous, pristine coral gardens, off shore ergs, pinnacles and sea grass meadows plus extensive cavern systems. Here you will find a large diversity of marine life including moray, blue spotted stingrays, lion fish, porcupine fish, crocodile fish, squirrel fish, sea snakes as well as large pelagics and occasionally white tip or guitar shark.
A typical day will be a 2 tank dive with tanks and weights included.
House Reef Dives, RIB dives and Hard (day) boat dives are available at the resort.
Unlimited house reef diving – like taking your time rather than be guided? Taking underwater photos? Choose this option, but remember to take your buddy too!
Dive courses are available, with the added comfort of being able to do training dives directly off the resort’s beach.
