Freddy Storheil from Norway - founder of Colona Liveaboards and Colona Dive Club sailed into Naama Bay (Sharm El Sheikh) with Colona II in 1977 when Naama Bay was a quiet beach with only one dive center. You could find a small restaurant ``The Last Refugee`` and a hotel. Over the next few years skipper Freddy enjoyed showing many divers the delights of the Northern Red Sea until a break in 1979 - 1981 when he sailed round the world. On his return to Sharm in 1983, a short while after the Sinai had been handed back to Egypt by Israel, Freddy reestablished Colona as one of the leading dive operations in the area.
We have a modern approach - Colona strives to constantly develop within its field, improving the range of services offered to the divers as well as staying up to date with new diving courses and regulations.We at Colona are proud of the fact that many of our guests return to us year after year. It shows that our efforts to do everything we can for our guests, is worthwhile and we strive to keep up our standard in all conditions possible. An important aspect of our standard is making sure the service each and every guest gets is as good as it can possibly be, i.e. the personal service is a very crucial part of our high quality as a dive center
In September 1998 Colona Dive Club moved to the Amar Sina Hotel. Both the hotel & dive center have a wonderful and friendly atmosphere where all of your diving holiday needs will be met.
In October 1999 Colona establishes in Magawish Village, Hurghada. An all new center just 50 meters from the beach complete with it`s own jetty. Magawish has its own tennis court, pool area, night club, clinic, shops and even offers horse back riding trips on the beach.
In June 2005 our branch opened it`s doors at Bamboo House Hotel in Dahab, about 100 km north of Sharm El Sheikh. The dive staff of Colona Sharm El Sheikh has been diving there for years, and now the town has a dive center with high, Scandinavian quality and a variety of possibilities.
In January 2006 our branch in Marsa Alam at Bedouin Valley Resort opened it`s doors. The Camp is situated direct on the Beach 14 km after Marsa Alam. It has it`s own beautiful Housereef for diving and snorkeling and just a small trip with our Zodiac away from Dolphin house. From our own Jetty we offer daily trips also to Elphinstone Reef which is direct in front of the Bay
Location description: The area either side of the Straits of Gubal is mainly the preserve of liveaboards. Flanked in the west be the islands of Gubal and Shedwan and in the east by the reef systems of Shab Ali and Shab Mahmoud, it is well beyond the day boat range of either Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada although some boats do make the 12-14 hour day trip from Sharm to reach the world famous wreck of the Thistlegorm. Crossing the straits can be rough and sometimes downright impossible in all but the largest ships. The areas around Shedwan Island are closed to diving as this is a military area.
*Shab El Erg
The most northerly site for day boats out of Hurghada. A huge horseshoe shaped reef there are many dive sites on all sides. The north point is home to Mantas in season. The lagoon is dotted with ergs and is renowned for sightings of the resident dolphin community, divers have spent up to 30 minutes with dolphin pod here.
*Gota Shab El Erg
nearby is a little known site but well worth a visit. The whole area teems with life, unicorns, scorpion fish, groupers, morays, emperor angel fish, blue spotted rays and underneath the table corals look out for white tips resting in the sand. In the sandy channel between the main reef and the gota you will find cone shells, and flatfish.
*Shab Abu Nugar
This “T” shaped reef has a shallow plateau to the west with numerous small ergs and two small sub reefs Gota Abu Nigar and Shab Iris. Some parts of this reef system are positively dull while others are stunning. If you can dive the stem of the “T” on the north side you will find three small ergs and the diving there is almost virginal. You will find broom tail wrasse here as well as parrot fish and unicorn fish.
*Careless Reef
An offshore reef Carless has two large ergs rising from a shallow plateau surrounded by sheer walls rising from the deep. The area is unprotected and the reef can only be reached in good weather. The current at the surface is usually from the north but below it can be from any direction. To the north the drop off is a forest of coral to the south the plateau slope gently away with small pinnacles of coral. The whole area swarms with fish of all types there are numerous giant morays encountered here, as well as the white tip reef sharks and schooling reef fish as well as huge groupers and the occasional hammerhead in the early morning.
*Torfa Fanus
This narrow reef creates a huge calm lagoon, a great place to stop for lunch and catch the sun before the second dive of the day. The lagoon itself and the enclosing reef wall is relatively uninteresting and naturally lifeless but on the seaward side the area bursts with all manner of sea creatures. Swim through the gap between the first erg and the reef wall and head across the coral garden to the second erg, home to hordes of glass fish and the very occasional frog fish. Dolphins are often encountered anywhere around this reef so keep an eye out.
...and many more!
