Eco Tourism

Eco is in our blood. Reef Check Worldwide, PADI's Project Aware, the Governor of South Sinai and the European Union have all recognised Desert Divers' efforts to promote sustainable tourism in the Sinai. Join one of our big eco events, or simply relax in the knowledge that your holiday will not negatively affect the environment or culture of South Sinai. Quite the opposite - our diving & desert adventures bring employment to Bedouin that might otherwise be forced to forsake their way of life.

Big thanks to everyone who helped us with the big Blue Hole Beach clean up, 15 September. We left the club at 9, and 7 hours later returned to the club with 70 rubbish bags (more than 700 kilos of rubbish)!! Well worth the effort to see that beautiful beach looking like it should! Read more
