Sharks Bay Umbi Diving Village is generally offered on a half board basis, with breakfast and dinner included in the accommodation rate. Breakfast typically consists of a varied buffet featuring eggs cooked to order, breads, pastries, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals and hot beverages, providing a hearty start to the day before diving or relaxing by the sea. Evening meals are served in the sea-view restaurant and usually include a mix of international favourites and Egyptian specialities, often with freshly prepared seafood, grilled meats, salads and vegetarian options.

For added convenience, a full board option is available at a supplement, incorporating lunch alongside breakfast and dinner. Lunch is typically lighter in style, with options such as grilled dishes, salads, pasta and local plates. Additional snacks, drinks and items ordered outside the selected board basis are charged separately, offering guests flexibility should they wish to dine exclusively at the resort or explore restaurants elsewhere in Sharks Bay or Sharm El Sheikh.

Sharks Bay Umbi Diving Village offers exceptional diving opportunities, catering to all levels of experience, while also welcoming non-divers for snorkelling at suitable sites. The resort provides easy access to many of the Red Sea’s most popular wrecks, with daily diving trips to iconic sites such as the World War II shipwreck SS Thistlegorm and the steamship SS Dunraven, both celebrated for their fascinating history and abundant marine life. Other notable wrecks, including the Rosalie Muller, Carnatic and Giannis D, can be explored from the resort’s Freedom liveaboard boats.

Each diving day begins around 8am with a short walk along the beach from the dive centre to the private jetty. The daily dive boats depart just 70 metres from the PADI 5* Dive Resort, allowing guests to avoid lengthy transfers and ensuring the resort’s boats are often first to leave. During the journey to the dive sites, guides provide briefings on the day’s plan and safety procedures. After the morning dive, a hot buffet lunch is served on board before heading to the afternoon dive site. Occasionally, schedules may be adjusted due to weather conditions or at the request of divers, with the boats returning to the jetty between 4pm and 5pm.

The standard five-day diving package includes two dives per day at a variety of sites within the Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, with summer trips offering the chance to spot hammerhead sharks at the back of Jackson Reef. For those preferring a more relaxed pace, the resort’s house reef provides excellent diving and snorkelling close to the shore, ideal for underwater photography, learning to dive, or advancing diving skills through PADI courses. Night dives on the house reef reveal an entirely different underwater world, as nocturnal creatures emerge and daytime inhabitants retire, offering a truly unique Red Sea experience.
