Dive Safari
Enjoy an unforgettable diving experience. Spend a week on a luxury diving boat and enjoy being pampered. We will board in Sharm el-Sheik and drive to the most beautiful dive sites in the Red Sea. The Red Sea’s beguiling biodiversity, with its colorful coral reefs and clear, temperate waters, makes it a popular diving destination worldwide.
A Divers dream
Our professional diving team will provide you with everything you need to enjoy diving to the fullest. The equipment is in perfect condition and will be ready for you before each dive. Your dive profiles will be calculated in advance and you will be guided by some of the best dive professionals I have ever met, who will ensure your safe return to the boat on each dive.
As a PADI Dive Instructor, I can also assist you in German and French, should you prefer not to receive instructions in English. You don’t have to worry about a thing and can look forward to a week of sun, sea and stunning underwater scenery. A variety of diving experiences are included in the trip, such as deep dives, drift dives, wreck dives, and cave dives. Please note, that for some dives the advanced certification is required.
The boat crew will take care of culinary delights and your physical well-being. You can then relax in comfortable twin cabins after your exciting underwater adventures. You will also get to meet divers from all over the world and form connections that will last beyond this trip.
This trip is only bookable for certified divers.
Dive Courses
Teaching diving is my passion. There’s nothing better than helping people to feel as comfortable and relaxed underwater as I do. Seeing the excitement in my students’ eyes when they experience the enchanting underwater world for the first time is like nothing else. Sharing the joy of discovering underwater treasures and the excitement of encountering rare sea creatures, or simply the indescribable feeling of being one with the water, never fails to inspire me.
As a former teacher, I can easily convey diving content and techniques in an easy-to-understand way. As a mentor, I can empathize with my students and support them wherever they are on their diving journey.
I’m a certified PADI Dive Instructor (OWSI), EFR Instructor, and Specialty Instructor (Deep, Night, Underwater Photography, Nitrox, and Equipment)
You can complete the following diving courses with me:
* PADI Open Water course
* PADI Advanced course
* PADI Nitrox course
* PADI Rescue Diver course
* PADI Dive Master course.
I’m happy to offer additional dive courses in Egypt for groups of at least four students. Get in touch to design your own personalised diving adventure.
Dive Retreat
“For me, diving is the highest form of meditation.”
Many people are afraid of water, depth and the uncontrollable. Diving opens up a whole new underwater world full of beauty, colours, and creatures. You experience a unique universe, and a completely new physical sensation. Weightlessness enables you to move in all directions, feel light and free, and surrender completely to the water. It’s quiet down there. There is no noise, no stimuli, and no light pulses. Your nervous system calms down, and your body slows down. You breathe deeply and slowly, and your movements become fluid and effortless. Enveloped by the water, it’s easy to relax, expand, and become one with the ocean.
However, diving can also be very challenging and bring suppressed emotions to the surface. This diving retreat is designed to help you explore these issues and gain new confidence in and under the water, as well as new awareness about your emotional world. Unlike PADI diving courses or diving safaris, this retreat does NOT focus on developing diving skills; instead, it uses diving as a gateway to access blockages and traumas.
Who is this retreat suitable for?
If any of the following statements apply to you, I would wholeheartedly recommend the diving retreat: “I can’t swim. I prefer to stay on land where I have solid ground under my feet. Water scares me. I’m scared in the ocean when I can’t see what’s underneath me. I would love to dive, but I’m unable to do so because… I don’t trust myself to breathe underwater. I prefer to stay on the surface. I’m afraid of losing control when diving. I’m also afraid of sharks. I want to dive, but I panic quickly underwater.”
Where are we diving?
The diving retreat takes place in the Red Sea. It boasts a spectacular underwater landscape and a diverse array of species. Visibility is usually excellent. My Egyptian diving family will accompany us; they are the warmest and most competent diving professionals you could hope to meet for an experience like this.
Requirements for participation:
You are in good physical condition, can imagine living on the boat for a week, and are willing to face your fears and explore new depths. You do not need a diving certificate to participate. Please note that you will not receive one during this week, as our focus is on the inner journey.
What a guest said:
“Thank you, Sharon Makana, for being my instructor. You taught me how to dive perfectly and showed me a special way to be under water. There’s no need to rush, everything can be dealt with calmly and respectfully. It would be wonderful if there were more divers like you, exploring the underwater world in peace and harmony.
Immersing myself in the underwater world was magical and gave me the opportunity to be completely alone with my thoughts and present in the moment, just me and the bubbles. During the divse, my focus shifted towards what surrounded me, nothing else mattered anymore. Even during my PADI Open Water Diver training, I was fortunate enough to experience some truly beautiful underwater encounters.
Sharon’s training was unique. Every exercise was discussed in detail beforehand, and every question was addressed, so no question remained unanswered. Initial excitement was thus transformed into calmness. The exercises were demonstrated with precise steps. Every hand signal and sequence of movements was clearly demonstrated. Sharon noticed any signs of distress immediately and restored calm quickly.
I felt confident at all times. By learning all the skills, I always knew how to help myself, which allowed me to effortlessly find my way back to relaxation. Sharon emphasized the importance of performing all exercises correctly and accurately. Any corrections were pointed out and discussed. Safety was Sharon’s absolute priority. This was evident at all times. I cannot recommend Sharon’s training highly enough.”
