They do shore and boat diving. : : : : : If you are going to the Hyatt or the Marriott in Taba Heights, there is a centre in each of the hotels and a main centre by the marina. They have a snorkeling boat, a dive boat, Hobie Cat sailing boats and a parasailing boat. All of them going out every day. : : : Stayed in the Marriot ,,November 2002 ,,,,Brilliant hotel.. excellent facilities...no dive shop..there is a free bus to a dive centre where you can hire kit etc and book hardboat trips...did two dives they were based about one mile offshore from the hotels,To be honest i would simply stick to the snorkelling on the southern tip of the Marriot it is just as good if not better for viz and sealife...The place is still underdeveloped and activities outside the hotel boundries dont exsist,,,,take soft drinks they cost a bomb stayed at the seastar in september 2002. lovely quiet hotel, staff very friendly. private beach with some good snorkling. free shuttle bus to the hilton where there is diving and snorkling available. best option is to go all inclusive because there is nothing other than the hotel for about 5 miles either side. would not hesitate to go again. itneen beera min fadlac
