Extra Divers Makadi Bay

Extra Divers Makadi Bay is part of the Extra Divers worldwide network, one of the largest dive center chains in the Red Sea region. Located at the Fort Arabesque Resort in Makadi Bay, approximately 30 kilometers south of Hurghada, the center benefits from direct beach access to a pristine house reef.

The house reef extends from the resort's beach with a sandy entry leading to coral formations starting at around 3 meters depth and sloping to beyond 20 meters. This makes it ideal for both training dives and relaxed exploration. Turtles, moray eels, and colorful reef fish are regular residents.

Boat trips depart several times weekly to the famous offshore sites of the Hurghada region, including Giftun Island, Abu Ramada, Umm Gamar, and the Sha'ab Abu Nuhas wreck complex. SSI courses run from Try Scuba through Dive Guide, with specialty programs available on request.

The center is particularly popular with German-speaking divers, reflecting the Extra Divers brand's German roots. English instruction is equally available. The partnership with the Fort Arabesque Resort provides seamless access to resort facilities including pools, restaurants, and beach bars.

Makadi Bay's quieter atmosphere compared to central Hurghada appeals to divers seeking relaxation alongside their diving. The house reef's consistent quality means excellent diving is always available without the need for boat travel.
