welcome to the
red sea environmental centre (RSEC)

The Red Sea Environmental Centre (RSEC) is a young, private science and conservation institute. It was originated in 2003 (former name: Sinai Environmental Center) and is nowadays incorporated in the non-profit association mare-mundi.eu. The RSEC maintains a marine biological station at the southeast coast of the Sinai in Dahab. Our partner dive centers at the Red Sea are Sinai Divers, Extra Divers and Inmo.

The RSEC fieldstation offers reef biological courses for everybody, as well as the chance for students to carry out their Master thesis or student research projects under general supervision. Junior- and senior scientist may conduct scientific projects with the logistic help of the scientists running the fieldstation. Universities are welcome to carry out biological or geoscientific excursions for students and will be supported in many ways.

People interested independent of their age and of previous knowledge in natural science, are welcome to participate in our reef biological courses and seminars (from 1h to 2 weeks). All our courses can be combined with diving and snorkelling activities. Beginners as well as advanced divers have the chance to attend an adequate course, held at our partner dive centre.
