Adventures

Egypt's Red Sea is not one of the world's most iconic diving destinations for no reason. Colorful corals, shipwrecks, and fish that will stare at you like you just interrupted their brunch.

At Rafiki, we keep diving chill, safe, and actually fun. First dive? No problem. Hundredth dive? Still awesome. We've got your back, your fins, and probably your underwater selfies too. 😎
