Centers Werner Lau
Oasis Marsa Alam
The „THE
OASIS DIVING CENTER“ is as well as the hotel “The Oasis”
a joint project of Werner Lau and Sinai Divers. Due to this cooperation
a maximum amount of service, professionalism and joy of diving can
be offered.
The diving centre, professionally run by Monika Menz and Rudi Robisch
is situated directly in the hotel of "The Oasis", 20km north
of Marsa Alam. Monika and Rudi are old hands in the South of the Red
Sea for years and are looking forward to diving with you.
With their team of multilingual diving instructors and dive masters
they offer all levels of instruction according to SSI, Barakuda (CMAS)
and PADI guidelines.
Equipment
The new diving centre is equipped especially to cover the requirements
and wishes of the divers. Even in times of high demand we guarantee
enough hire equipment for everyone. The centre is equipped with at
least the following equipment:
30 Jackets (Scubapro)
30 Regulators with octopus, pressure gauge and inflator
30 Sets of mask, snorkel and fins
50 wetsuits (all 5mm thick)
10 diving computers (compressed air/nitrox)
10 underwater torches
For the efficient organisation of the diving we have 100 12l aluminium
tanks (DIN + INT) filled from two compressors available. For guests
with equipment problems, our well stocked workshop is available if
needed, supported by the advice from our staff.
It goes without saying, that nitrox is also available here without
charge!
Your own Equipment
All private equipment is stored in boxes at the Dive Centre and will
be transported to the dive boats each day by our staff.
Your Safety
Our diving boats and land vehicles are all equipped with oxygen and
a first-aid-kit, as well as radio and telephone. The nearest medicinal
facility is in Marsa Alam or, in severe cases treatment is ensured
in Hurghada. The nearest decompressions chamber is only 10 km away
in Marsa Shagre.
Diving Sites
The area around Marsa Alam is rated as one of the best diving area
in the world and as one of the few diving areas in the Red Sea that's
not overrun.
There is something here for everyone, gently sloping dives from the
beach, trips by car to more remote bays or trips by boat to legendary
reefs such as Elphinstone, Abu Dabbab and Samadai Reef (Dolphin House).
The house reef which drops down fast and steeply, has everything experienced
divers could wish for.
 We
also offer further trips by car to more remote bays or by boat to
the top spots on the infinite reefs.
The walls of the famous Elphinstone reefs (deep sea white tipped sharks),
the lush soft corals that grow down into the blue, decorated with
sponges, gorgonian fans and farns, cast their spell over everyone.
Abu Dabbab (Swim through's and caves) and Samadai Reef (large schools
of dolphins) are further highlights.
House reef
Directly in front of the diving centre there is a wonderful house
reef (border reef). Here a super conditions for beach dives, night
dives and open water dives during courses.
Dives are made from the jetty which is built out over the edge of
the reef. The sea is about 12 m deep here. The reef slopes slowly
down before dropping off sharply into the blue! The reef can be dived
to the north or to the south.
Along with some very pretty hard and soft corals there are also large
numbers of typical Red Sea fish. A real highlight are the large pelagic
fish travelling along the "aquatic road” in north/south
direction. Along with manta rays, turtles and dolphins, more and more
dugongs have been sighted.
One dive at the house reef per day is included in the diving box "The
Oasis". This also includes early-morning dives and night dives.
On few days in the year with strong wind the rough swell can make
the access to the reef more difficult or even occasionally impossible.
Diving trips
Most of the diving trips take place by car. We offer trips daily in
both the morning and the afternoon, each including one dive. The travelling
time is between 5 minutes to 1 hour depending on the diving site.
For more distant reefs 2 tank dives are offered. In addition, boat
dives are offered regularly to the various super reefs such as Elphinstone,
Abu Dabbab and Samadai Reef.
In all, we offer a selection from about 30 different diving spots
which guarantees a diversity of dives.
Diving courses
To allow you a first impression of diving, we offer introductory dives
at the pool several times a week free of charge. For those who are
interested in learning to dive we offer professional courses to SSI,
Barakuda (CMAS) and PADI guidelines. These courses last four days
in small groups of up to a maximum of 6 people.
The course is planned so that the theory and practical instruction
(6 dives) alternate to make the course more interesting. After passing
the exam, the diving students receive an internationally recognised
certificate (SSI/PADI Open Water Diver / CMAS*).
For those who only wish to try out diving in the wonderful under water
world of the Red Sea, we also offer this opportunity with introductory
dives of 15-20 minutes. In a depth of only 4-5 meters it is like being
in an aquarium and you can enjoy the beautiful world of the coral
reefs. This service is offered on a one-to-one basis of one guest
and one diving instructor.
We also offer advanced courses up to SSI Divecon, CMAS Gold and PADI
Divemaster as well as different special courses and nitrox diving.
