The Red Sea lies in the Great Rift Valley, an area of depression and faulting. The sea formed when the Arabian Peninsula was torn from Africa 20 million years ago, and hydrothermal vents on the seafloor are signs of ongoing tectonic activity.

A long, narrow arm of the Indian Ocean, this narrow strip of water extends from Suez in Egypt, to the Bab el Mandeb strait. In the centuries following the downfall of the Roman Empire, the Red Sea was the Muslim world's main trade route with eastern Africa, Persia, and Asia.

The sea had little commercial importance in European nations until the Suez Canal was completed, creating a shorter sea route between Europe and Asia. The Red Sea's connection to the Suez Canal makes it one of the world's busiest waterways. Navigation is made difficult along the Red Sea by the coral reefs - bad news for mariners, good news for divers.

Once upon-a-time...

There was an Arabian Sheik who learned to dive and he fell in love with the sport. Being lucky enough to be able to visit many good dive spots around the world he found that his home country's waters offered some of the best diving he had done.

Being a generous man he wanted other people from around the world to be able to discover diving in the eastern Red Sea, and so decided to build a dive resort incorporating all the best from other resorts he had visited.

Not being a person used to doing things in a small way, he hired the best people he could find to build the resort, and then recruited an international team to run it for him.

An Arabian fable?

No!
