Freedom Divers

Safaga, Egypt

The team at Freedom Divers are a solid choice for anyone looking to dive Safaga without the bustle of the bigger centres. We love their focus on smaller groups. It means you’re not just another face on a crowded boat, which, let’s be honest, can make all the difference when you’re trying to enjoy a quiet drift over a vibrant reef. They’ve been operating since 2007 under German-Egyptian management, and that blend really shows in their smooth operation and relaxed, friendly vibe. Our favourite thing about them is their commitment to getting you to the quieter spots. We’ve had some cracking dives with them, often feeling like we had the whole reef to ourselves, drifting past huge gorgonian fans and watching schooling bannerfish swirl around the pinnacles. They’re also big on technical diving, certified with TDI and SDI, so if you’re looking to push your limits, or just want to explore a bit deeper on a less-frequented wreck, they’re perfectly set up for it. We’d suggest chatting with them about their morning schedules; sometimes an early start means getting to a site like Panorama Reef before the day boats arrive, and that’s when you really see it at its best.
