We are a growing, continuously developing company in the diving sector and in tourism. Mainly, we consider ourselves a service provider and partner. A good staff, many national and international contacts with companies, tour operators, diving centers and diving associations, as well as working together on our aims, have been helping us to meet the steadily changing challenges of this sector for years. 


We and the environment

'All life is descended from sea. Also human being. Nothing seems more important to me today than that our technologic development rebalances with the diversity of all remaining life.' * Professor Dr.Hans Hass (Wien 2003)

 

Right from the beginning, DUCKS has been actively involved in environmental projects. Thus, we rate among the first members of the HEPCA (Hurghada Environmental Protection & Conservation Association), the most important environmental organization on the Red Sea. With endurance, commitment and ideas, we try to communicate the subject of “environment“ to our staff and our guests every day.
