Safety on board – our top priority

Safety is our top priority on board of the Red Sea One. Our safari boat is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and extensive safety features – far exceeding legal requirements. For us, a responsible approach to safety is a natural part of the concept of a successful diving safari.

At the start of each tour, we conduct a detailed safety briefing in which all measures are clearly explained. We also conduct a practical evacuation drill – so that all guests feel well prepared and safe.

Those who are interested are welcome to take a look behind the scenes – for example, into the engine room or the captain’s cabin. Because trust is built through transparency.
