The dive

Inside you'll mostly see hard corals. Per ORCA it takes at least four dives to see it all. Not for nothing does Malahi mean 'playground'.

In the labyrinth it is easy to lose your way; Red Sea Diving Safari also lets you dive it on your own and the skipper picks you up where you surface. Stay with your buddy, keep to the passages with daylight and agree beforehand how you surface outside the labyrinth.

Certification requirements, configurations and trimix depths are estimates for planning. Always check them locally and dive within your training. Compiled from web research (Oct 2026): the websites of Red Sea Diving Safari (site descriptions, diving pages and price lists) and ORCA Dive Club Wadi Lahmy (with pins for Shaab Claudio and Shaab Malahi), PADI (Claudia), Duikersgids (Sha'ab Claudia), Emperor Divers (2023) on the chamber and liveaboard.com on water temperature and visibility. These are guided boat and zodiac dives into caverns, tunnels and cave systems in the reef, with daylight through holes in the roof. Certification and configurations are estimates.
