Diving & Snorkelling
 

Any visit to the Red Sea wouldn't be complete without discovering the incredible variety of life and colour beneath the waves. Learn to dive in the Red Sea, or snorkel on some of the world's best reefs.

Diving Guests staying at the Naama Bay Hotel Sharm el Sheikh can dive with our chosen dive centre partner in Sharm el Sheikh, Red Sea Diving College, which holds a PADI 'Excellence in Dive Centres Award'. The centre offers a range of diving courses and packages for beginners and qualified divers as well as a range of watersports.

Snorkelling Guests can access the reef by walking in from the Naama Bay Hotel's beach, although the best coral can be found by swimming a few hundred metres to the left or right of the hotel. Equipment is available for hire from the hotel's diving centre. Alternatively, guests may choose to go on a snorkelling day trip by boat to the Straits of Tiran or Ras Mohamed National Park.





General Information

Checking in at the airport
Airlines request that passengers report at the airport 3 hours prior to the scheduled departure time of their flight. To ensure that you are seated with your family, you may be able to pre-book seats on some flights. This must be done directly with the airline. Longwood Holidays CANNOT guarantee any seating requests made.

Passengers arriving late for check in may not be allowed to board.

Please pack only the most essential items (i.e. travel documents, valuables and medication) in your hand luggage. Please adhere to the baggage allowance printed on your ticket. Some airlines operate a zero tolerance policy for baggage over the permitted limit and additional charges or denial of carriage may be imposed.

Please use our baggage labels to facilitate identification of your luggage.
