Orca Dive Club at Coral Garden Resort is situated directly on Gassous Bay, 22 km south of Safaga. The centre has its own compressor room, and two drying rooms with fresh water rinse tanks.

House reef and shore based diving by jeep are offered. Shore dives usually start at 10.00am, returning to the centre after the first dive with the second dive departing around 14.00. The house reef is open from 6.00am to 21.00. The centre offers a range of dive courses and further training, and there is a selection of rental equipment available to hire. FREE Nitrox is available (32%) for qualified Nitrox divers.

Please note that it is compulsory at Orca Dive Club to dive with a dive computer. All divers with fewer than 30 logged dives must be guided. Guided dives cost €5 per person per dive.

In addition, trips by minibus are offered to other, rather lonely dive sites between Coral Garden and El Quesier. Full-day tours with the day boats from ORCA Dive Club Safaga to the dive sites of Safaga are also available for guests of the Coral Garden.
