Program Description :
You will be picked up morning or afternoon from your hotel and then head to the main boat marine jetty to go on the banana boat and tube. A banana boat, also known as a water sled and often referred to simply as a banana, is an inflatable recreational boat meant for towing. Banana Boat accommodates three to five riders sitting on a larger, main tube and resting their feet on two laterally flanking tubes which stabilize the boat. The main tube is often yellow and banana-shaped. Some models have two main tubes. During the ride, the driver of the powered boat attempts to flip the banana boat upside-down by doing sharp turns. This allows riders to experience some of the thrill of moving fast and close to the water. Riders should always wear life jackets for safety reasons. Riding in a banana boat is considered to be a safer activity than water-skiing or other towed-water sports, and is similar to tubing. It is generally safe to ride at 5+ years. Ride on banana boat will last ten minutes At the end you will be transferred back to your hotel.

FAQS
I've lost my logbook; can I still dive with you?
Yes, providing you prove you’re a diver. We may require you to do a check dive or scuba review before your arrival or on your first day depending on your level, how many dives you think you have and when your last dive was.
I've lost my certification card; can I still dive with you?
If you are a PADI or SSI diver, we may be able to check their computer database online, but please make every effort to get a replacement before you travel.
What is the maximum depth I can dive to?
Our guides will guide to 30m on recreational dives or to the limit of your diving qualification. If you have a deep spec to say 40m, you have a buddy of equal level and can show your insurance allows you to dive to this depth, then CDWS allows diving to 40m. Technical diving has different rules. Please email info@redseadiverss.com for more details. Your maximum diving depth will be dependent on your level of training and experience. It is your responsibility to check what depths your insurance policy covers you for before your arrival.
Do I have to be a good swimmer to scuba dive?
Some swimming ability is required. You need to have basic swim skills and be able to comfortably maintain yourself in the water. Float and tread water for 10 minutes, again using any methods you want.
What is the best time of year to dive?
The Red Sea offers all year-round sunshine with little or no rainfall. From the 2nd week of November to the end of March temperatures are cooler and there can be strong winds; however, guests have commented that they prefer this time of year as the boats and the dive sites are quiet. April to June, look out for manta and the occasional whale shark; summer has lots of shoaling fish, barracuda, trevallies, snapper, batfish. Water temperatures are lovely; however the air temperature can be very hot. September through to the first two weeks of November the air temperature is beautiful and the waters are warm from the summer heat. Marine sightings will vary depending on which dive resort you are staying at.
