This trip, addressed to scuba divers, is proposed with varying durations according to your needs: from three to seven day cruise. It 'a proposal aimed to those who want to escape from the stress and the "modernity" and enjoy days spent quite simply, diving in a transparent sea watching closely fish of beautiful colors, funnily shaped and unimaginable colored corals, eating fish caught by oneself, falling asleep under a sky with billions of stars. In a few words a return to that wonderful feeling of being commune with nature. Surrounded by darkness, the splendour of the stars and the absolute silence you’ll spend magical nights that will restore your heart and sou.l
Please take note that in Massawa is not available a hyperbaric chamber, and if necessary, medical care is limited . That is why, usually the dive master will not allow diving beyond the 30-40mt.
Remember that you will need time to recover the jet lag due to an altitude of 2450 meters separating Massawa to Asmara, from whose airport you’ll have to start over. It is not permitted hunting underwater by harpoon gun and currently even diving on wrecks, although the latter will probably be authorized in short term.
