Ras Abu Galoum Diving & Desert Adventure (4 days/6 dives/desert trek or 5 days/10 dives)

3-5 day Camel Diving Safaris to Ras Abu Galoum & Ras Mammlah (the Northern Protected Area), plus an optional day trekking to Bir El Ogda oasis. On these longer safaris, we take a portable compressor with us. If you want to do an extra dive, no problem - just fill your tank and go!

There are as many dive sites in this area as you have days to dive! All we need is a good entry and exit point, and we're off! 2 dives per day, plus the option to spend a day trekking into the mountains along the coast. Here is an example itinerary for the 4 day program (4 days/6 dives/1 day desert trek):
