Orca Dive Club Soma Bay

Orca Dive Club Soma Bay is one of several Red Sea branches of the popular Orca Dive Club chain. Based at The Breakers Resort in Soma Bay, a luxury peninsula development approximately 45 kilometers south of Hurghada, the center offers an upmarket diving experience with access to some of the region's most pristine reefs.

The house reef at Soma Bay is exceptional, featuring a long jetty that leads divers over a shallow sandy area to a coral wall that drops to impressive depths. Regular sightings include octopus, moray eels, Napoleon wrasse, and seasonal eagle rays. The reef's protected location means excellent conditions even when wind affects other areas.

Boat trips expand the diving options to offshore sites including Salem Express wreck, Panorama Reef, Middle Reef, and Abu Kafan. These sites offer dramatic wall diving, large pelagic encounters, and some of the healthiest coral in the northern Red Sea.

Courses are available through PADI and SSI in English, German, and French. The center benefits from the resort's excellent facilities including swimming pools suitable for training, on-site restaurants, and comfortable accommodation.

Soma Bay's relative isolation from the mass-tourism corridors of Hurghada ensures uncrowded dive sites and a more exclusive atmosphere. The center is an ideal choice for experienced divers seeking quality offshore diving combined with resort-level comfort.
