A sign at the entrance to the five-star Concorde Moreen Beach Resort & Spa reads, “Here begins the stress free zone” — and the experience fully lives up to that promise. Located roughly halfway between Port Ghalib and Marsa Alam, the resort offers a relaxed Red Sea setting paired with professional dive facilities.
On site, one of the newer centres of ORCA Dive Clubs provides a smooth and well-organised diving operation. The base works closely with its sister centre at the nearby Golden Tulip Resort, allowing selected dive sites and parts of the infrastructure to be shared, giving divers access to a broader range of locations while maintaining high operational standards.
At the Concorde Moreen base, the guiding principle is “easy diving.” Equipment is conveniently transported to the jetty by electric golf cart, ensuring minimal effort for guests. Two powerful compressors operate on site, and Nitrox is available for certified divers. A full range of rental equipment sets is provided in ample quantities.
Dives are conducted with 12- or 15-litre aluminium cylinders, while younger divers are equally catered for with 8- or 10-litre tanks. With efficient organisation, quality equipment and thoughtful logistics, the ORCA base at Concorde Moreen ensures a relaxed and seamless diving experience for all levels.
House Reef, Dive Boats & Dive Sites
The house reef in the bay of Abu Dabab is already a true highlight and offers impressive diving directly from shore. Access to the water is either via a 40-metre jetty or straight from the beach, where a small sandy channel leads divers comfortably through the lagoon to the outer reef. Colourful coral formations and abundant marine life make this an ideal site for both relaxed exploration dives and underwater photography.
For boat excursions, guests are transferred to Marsa Alam harbour, where the dive boats depart for some of the Red Sea’s most iconic sites. Trips are regularly organised to the legendary Elphinstone Reef, famous for its dramatic drop-offs and pelagic encounters, as well as to Shaab Samadai, also known as Dolphin House, where spinner dolphins are frequently spotted.
A minibus transfer also operates to Abu Dabab, a site well known for its rich marine biodiversity. Here, divers and snorkellers often encounter dugongs, large green sea turtles and, on occasion, even elusive cookiecutter sharks. With easy shore access, world-class offshore reefs and exciting marine life encounters, the area offers exceptional variety for every level of diver.
