Nuweiba
Introduction
"I personally believe my diving has improved at least four-fold since I first came to Emperor Nuweiba. I put this down to the professional approach to diving and the friendliness of all the staff you have - nothing ever seems to be too much trouble for anyone - also to the wonderful dive sites at and around Nuweiba."
André Ray & Beryl Brooke, England
When it's peace and quiet in a beautifully unspoiled setting you're after, then look no further than Nuweiba. The fantastic shore diving makes this the ideal place if you're a learner or a keen underwater photographer. Indeed, renowned diving photographer, Martin Edge, said of Nuweiba, "The best night dive ever"," as he photographed Spanish Dancers galore. It's really good for snorkelling, too.
Nuweiba's crystal clear waters are an amazing showcase for the vibrant coral gardens and marine life. Of course, for those less inclined to dive, there's the option to leisurely laze on the 7km of golden, soft, sandy beach.
Whether it's day diving, doing one of the trips below, learning to dive, taking your diving further or Tekstreme technical diving (Nuweiba now has oxygen compatible air and sofnolime for Rebreather divers), you will find the award-winning team at Emperor Nuweiba ready to give you a warm welcome.
New to Nuweiba is the Coral Reef Conservation PADI specialty. It's FREE within your day's diving and each Sunday you can learn about the area's coral reefs and how to record and monitor corals and return data.
