 Aziab
recently reported that Easy Divers Hurghada is moving out from

their place. It’s Emperor that has chosen to leave their location in
the harbour next to Grand Azur Horizon and with them likely Oxygen

funny since Oxygen used to be working with Easy Divers a few years
back when the operation was had just moved in to Hilton Plaza. The
move is supposed to finished September 23rd according to
aziab’s sources.

Colona
Divers opens new dive centre in the south this
October.
New for winter 2010 Colona Divers can offer
some of the best diving and snorkelling in the Red Sea from our Eco
Lodge, Deep South Diving Camp and Dive Centre in Port Ghaleb area.
We invite you to come and join us and share the true wonders of the
underwater world.
 WHERE
WE ARE
Colona Divers, Deep South Diving Camp is situated Umm Tandoba Bay;
only 14 km away from the main city of Marsa Alam and only 1 hour
drive from the international airport. This tranquil area is an ideal
alternative to the crowded European style resorts the beach is
deserted by comparison. You will feel like you’re on your own desert
island after a long solitary stroll along the miles of beach. The
camp offers uniquely designed “African huts” and “chalets”; good
food and cheer are available every day. The natural surroundings and
spectacular views make this ideal place to relax and unwind. Colona
Divers, Port Ghaleb is just 20 minutes from the international
airport in the newly built modern marina.
MARSA ALAM + PORT GHALIB
Marsa Alam was originally (and still is) a Bedouin fishing village.
It is a small town on the southern Egyptian coast, complete with
Bazaar area and local foods. Time seems to have stood still in this
area and local traditions still apply. Alcohol may be served in a
few places but do not expect Hard Rock Cafe style bar in the
village!.
Port Ghalib is now a modern and stylish marina; top class
restaurants and bars are dotted along the seafront. The night clubs
stay open late and multi million dollar yachts float nearby.
International chains have opened in the harbour so don't be
surprised to see a famous burger maker near you....
OUR SERVICES
Colona can offer a wide range of services to make your trip
everything you could wish for; Colona is an ideal choice for someone
