Samadai is a horseshoe reef south of Marsa Alam where spinner dolphins rest through the day. It is a managed protected area: a fixed number of boats, a closed core zone the dolphins can retreat to, and no swimming towards them. Sightings are likely rather than guaranteed, and anyone promising otherwise is selling you something.
Pickup at 07:00 for the harbour. About an hour out. Two snorkel sessions in the permitted zones with lunch aboard between them, back by mid-afternoon.
Send us the dates and how many people are travelling, by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We reply with a written itinerary and a fixed price, usually within a few hours. Confirming is a message, not a payment.
No. We ask for no deposit and take no payment to hold a date. Nothing is charged when you book and nothing is payable in advance - you settle with us in Egypt once the trip is running.
Tell us and we will change it, or cancel it, at no cost. There is no cancellation fee and no deadline to worry about, because nothing has been paid up front. If plans shift while you are already here, we will rearrange what we can on the day.
For the guided dives, yes - bring your certification card and logbook. Snorkelling needs nothing at all, and an introductory dive with an instructor is open to complete beginners.
The tourist regions are heavily policed and we work in them daily. Your guide stays with you at every site. If you are travelling alone, tell us - we will match you with a guide accordingly.
Pairs well with
Four nights on the coast with one good boat day and no obligation to do anything else.
Three reef stops, lunch aboard, and water you can see thirty metres through.
Six days of diving on reefs that are still in good condition, because fewer people go.
