BOOKINGS ARE OPEN NOW – AND SPOTS ARE LIMITED!

Whilst visiting some of the Red Sea’s most iconic and abundant dive spots, you will have the opportunity to develop and refine your underwater videography skills.
Theoretical and practical sessions, including aspects of conservation, safety, and wildlife protection, will allow you to apply your newly acquired knowledge on underwater videography directly in the field, or should we say “directly underwater”.

4 Days at the “Dolphin Reef”

The main focus of this Safari is to get you into the water to combine knowledge with hands-on practice in the wild.

Our goal is to motivate and encourage more people to get below the surface and record the wonders beneath for our generation and generations to come in order to create more visual awareness of a threatened ecosystem.

UNDERWATER VIDEO COMPETITION INCLUDED

By participating in this trip, you will get a ticket to enter a reoccurring competition held on board. Applying the knowledge you’ll be acquiring during this trip, we ask all participants to produce a short 1-2 minute trailer-style video about their time onboard the 4Ever Sea, and under it. The entries will be judged by our team and the first-place winner will be awarded a prize sponsored by one of our partners, a certificate and will be mentioned on our social media channels with worldwide exposure.

An own camera would definitely be good, but the rental of cameras (GoPros) is available. Other types of cameras might be available on request (Additional fees for camera rental).

Is it possible to bring divers who won’t be doing underwater videography?

Additional divers might be able to join on request, but as this trip’s priority is videographers, they will be handled with priority during the booking process. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us for further details for non-videographers.

Do you need previous free diving experience?

No initial freediving experience is required. We will include free diving safety procedures briefings for everyone interested in improving their freediving abilities. The place we will mainly be freediving/snorkeling is the dolphin house, where dolphins swim very shallow which won’t require you to dive deep at all.

How big will the groups be?

As for the theory sessions on the boat, we will conduct them all together in the salon of the boat. The practical sessions in the water will be split into smaller groups organized in a way, that there won’t be too many people on-site at the same time.

Will you see dolphins on this trip?

We can quite confidentially say, that you will have the chance to swim with dolphins. As the ocean constantly changing, we can never guarantee anything. Therefore we plan to stay 4 days at the dolphin site – chances are very high you will see them.

We have 20 initial spots available on this trip. If spots should be sold out, let us know and we will put you on a priority list for the next upcoming trip.

Is this a pure scuba-Trip?

This trip is not specifically a scuba diving safari. Scuba diving is part of the underwater videography training sessions which consist of either free/scuba diving. For reefs, caves, and wreck dives we will be scuba diving. Dolphins will be mainly met whilst freediving/snorkeling.
