Two Focuses. One Mission.
We concentrate our efforts where the Red Sea needs it most — the apex predators that keep the ecosystem balanced, and the coral that gives it life.
Shark Research
Shark Research & Education
The Red Sea is home to some of the world's most important shark populations — oceanic whitetips, hammerheads, grey reefs, threshers, and more. Yet sharks remain one of the most misunderstood and threatened groups of animals in the ocean.
Our shark programme has two goals: collecting behavioural data to contribute to ongoing research, and educating our divers to become genuine advocates for shark conservation.
- Individual shark identification using fin-pattern photography
- Encounter logs submitted to global citizen science databases
- Onboard shark workshops on every liveaboard trip
- Behaviour observation protocols — spotting stress signals and healthy interactions
- Shark interaction guidelines for all guides and guests
Coral Restoration
Coral Reef Restoration
Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor yet support 25% of all marine life. The Red Sea's reefs are among the most resilient in the world — more heat-tolerant than most — but they still face serious threats from anchor damage, irresponsible diving, and climate change.
Our restoration work focuses on the reefs around Hurghada that we dive day in, day out. We grow coral fragments in underwater nurseries, transplant healthy colonies to damaged areas, and monitor reef health across our regular dive sites.
- Coral nursery maintained at 8m depth — year-round growing
- Fragment collection from naturally broken colonies (no wild harvesting)
- Transplantation dives — guests can participate directly
- Reef health surveys: coral cover, fish population, bleaching records
- Mooring buoy installation to eliminate anchor damage at key sites
