Dahab underwater museum

Undersea museum:

Intended to help protect Red Sea marine life. A tropical coral reef grows horizontally from one to three centimeters per year, and vertically anywhere from 1 to 25 centimeters per year. It is important that new structures are provided to help shelter the corals over the years to come.
As part of the new museum, a statue of an elephant has been submerged into the deep blue sea off Dahab. It was created out of 72 per cent recycled materials, including old bikes and shipping debris. It weighs some 800 kilos and is as large as a real elephant. Other statues have also been submerged to support new coral growth, including of the ancient Egyptian god Horus and the cartoon character Pinocchio.

I Dive Tribe Community of young scuba divers aiming to save the coral reefs that are threatened by human activities and climate change.
We have noticed that some divers, tourists and even amateurs when snorkeling and diving or doing sports activities in the Red Sea take away parts of the coral reefs, even cutting off entire roots and putting the whole ecosystem in danger, Even though their intentions may be harmless, taking souvenirs from undersea environments can create tragedies for the sea ecosystem.

I Dive Tribe community:

The founders of the group are Abdel-Latif, Abdel-Rahman Al-Mekkawi and Farah Akram. The tribe was started in 2010, when they first put their beliefs into practice. The i Dive Tribe is not only a school for teaching diving, but also believes in the need to protect the ecosystem of the sea waters.
