Boat Diving
The fun of a Boat Day Safari cannot be missed. Heading south to Gabr El Bint, an area of outstanding beauty. Moored near to the shore, you can enjoy some truly amazing dive sites and it is a great day for snorkelers too.
PADI Courses
We are a 5 star PADI Resort and offer the full range of PADI courses from learning to dive (PADI Open Water) up to PADI Dive Master and everything in between….. So if you fancy want to try diving or even progress with any skill or try something new we are happy to help.
Camel Safari
A Day at the National Marine park of Ras Abu Galum. The view from your camel is amazing and the diving will blow you away. A remote site that is much less dived and as a result has a huge array of fishes and brightly colored corals.
Desert Safaris
A chance to explore deep into the desert, visit any one of the many natural beauties in the desert, famous and off the beaten track…se the true beauty of the desert and experience total peace.
Speedboat Diving
All the fun of a day out to Ras Abu Galum but in a fraction of the time it takes to get there by Camel. Weather permitting i.e. little or no wind… and a min number 4.
Be a Responsible Traveler
Dive Urge is committed to minimizing the impact we all have on this fragile Desert/Sea environment and we are committed to reducing this as much as possible. Please follow our tips for how to reduce your impact.
4:1 Underwater Ratio
We keep our group sizes are kept deliberately small to minimize the possible damage to the aquatic environment and also to enhance your experience.
Save Water
We are located in the middle of the desert and Dahab’s water supply is limited. Please try to take shorter showers and don’t leave the tap running when you are brushing your teeth.
Save Energy
Turn off your Air Con when you leave the room.
Please help our environment by limiting the electricity you use while you are here. Don’t leave on lights and air conditioning when leaving your rooms. Unplug electrical appliances (i.e. phone chargers, laptops, I pods), when you do not need them.
Recycle collection
Please note that we have recycle bins both inside the club and on the beach for plastic, glass and cans. These are all collected and sorted locally before being sent to Cairo for processing. Our entire kitchen left over’s go to our goats, who are happy to help.
Say No to Plastic Bags
We provide a cotton bag in your room for shopping so you can say NO to plastic bags. Just ask us if you need more than one and please leave in your room for future guests.
Empty plastic bags get carried by the wind up into the mountains and out into the sea. Here they harm our precious environment and the animals that live in it. We ask you not to accept plastic carrier bags from supermarkets and bazaars in Dahab.
The Goats
We have our very own Dive Urge Goats, these are keep in Assalah (Bedouin Village behind the club) they love to take care of all the leftover food scraps.
Please help us to preserve this amazing place
Food Urge
Here is just a selection to tempt you, of what is on offer in our beach side restaurant, Food Urge. For a full menu please ask the Chef or one of the Dive Urge Crew. As we prepare meals, freshly to order, we can cater for most diets including vegetarian etc. Just ask for what you want and how you want it.
Dive Urge Special Pancakes Probably the best way to start the day, two pancakes crammed full with fresh fruit yoghurt and honey! One of the chef’s specialties! Or the old fav: Fresh lemon and honey.
Our very English Porridge a big creamy bowl of hot porridge, is also a great way to start the day….especially before a day’s diving.
Traditional Egyptian Breakfast Start the day with a bang! Foul beans, falafel, feta cheese, and pita bread!
Wraps For lunch or a mid afternoon snack why not try one of our wraps with a filling of your choice. Choose from tuna mayo, chicken, egg mayo or feta cheese and salad. If there is something else you fancy please ask a Dive Urge team member.
