“Liberty Cat”: Explore the Red Sea from Different Angles
| Price: | from 80$ for adults and children aged 12 and older |
from 40$ for children aged 2 to 11 inclusive |
It’s a tour for curious travelers who want to learn as much as possible about the life of the Red Sea inhabitants. It’s also a great opportunity to try different kinds of underwater swimming and explore the marine world.
The tour program begins with observing the underwater world from panoramic windows of a bathyscaphe, a semi-submarine whose bottom is immersed in water to a depth of several meters. Then travelers can go scuba diving or snorkeling, so this excursion is a unique combination of «dry» and classic diving. What’s the point of choosing one thing if you can get it all at once!
It should be taken into account that each such tour, which implies exploring the environment, is unique, so you never know what you will see and which marine animals you will meet.
During the first part of the trip, you will look at the underwater world through panoramic windows while sitting in a comfortable cabin of the semi-submarine. When you’re traveling by a bathyscaphe, it really feels like you’re in an aquarium and curious fish approach it. Thus, you can see such fish species as bulky Jack Fish surrounded by small flying fish, and, if you’re lucky enough, a shoal of barracudas that usually prefer to swim alone but sometimes gather together.
An experienced guide will be happy to tell you about everything you see overboard, draw your attention to interesting coral species and give general information about the life of the inhabitants of the Red Sea. An important advantage is that through the windows of the semi-submarine you can take high-quality pictures of the underwater world without having special equipment.
After the so-called “dry diving”, it’s time for classic diving. But first all tourists receive a full briefing on safety rules from the guide who also explains how to use the diving equipment. Travelers with some diving experience can dive a bit deeper but anyway, all the dives are supervised by an instructor who will be your guide in the coral gardens, as well.
Snorkeling is an alternative to diving available for the participants of the tour, since they can choose between these two kinds of underwater swimming. Anyway, everyone can count on overwhelming emotions thanks to the absolute tranquility and real immersion in the underwater universe.
One of the diving spots is located in the area of Ras Mohammed National Park, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. It’s another exciting opportunity to admire colorful coral gardens and numerous fish species.
After active swimming and diving, you will surely get hungry. For this reason, we have included a buffet lunch in the program, which will be a pleasant end of the tour.
