Marine Panoramic Odyssey of Djibouti Dives (and Snorkeling and Sealife)

DJIBOUTI PANORAMIC MARINE TOUR - SEA, SCUBA, & SNORKELING

To enjoy this tour you will need a PADI or SSI or equal diving certification, or can do a custom snorkeling-centric version of all of the below. This is quite doable and will still be an excellent trip, and exposes you to a lot of the subsea treasures of the red sea. Some meals are included in this tour, and you should pack some serious sunscreen for exposure to sun while in the boat, on the beach, and at the water surface.  

To see Whale Sharks, you need to time this tour to come between late October to late January. This day can be swapped out of course for other diving and snorkeling, but the rest of the trip proceeds as usual and can run any time of year.
