Your intro day

How your first dive day works

Discover Scuba Diving with us is a full day on the boat, not a rushed pool session. We pick you up at 08:00 and the boat leaves around 09:00 for a calm Red Sea reef. You make two real dives with a professional instructor at your side, and you are back at your hotel by about 16:00.

  1. 08:00

    Hotel pickup

    We collect you from your hotel and drive you to the boat.

  2. 09:00

    On board and briefing

    The boat leaves the marina. Meet your instructor and learn the few simple signals and how the equipment works. Nothing to memorize.

  3. 10:30

    First dive

    Your first dive, about 20 minutes to a maximum of 8 meters. Your instructor holds you the whole time.

  4. 12:30

    Lunch on board

    A fresh lunch and soft drinks while you relax and talk about what you saw.

  5. 14:00

    Second dive

    Calmer and more confident, you dive again with your instructor at the same easy depth.

  6. 16:00

    Back to your hotel

    The boat cruises back to the marina and we drive you to your hotel.

What is included

  • Hotel transfers
  • Full diving equipment
  • Two guided boat dives
  • A professional instructor with you the whole time
  • Lunch and soft drinks on board

No certificate and no experience needed, and the marine park fees are already in the price.

You are never alone underwater

Every moment of both dives is under the direct supervision of a professional PADI instructor. You do not need to swim far or remember any theory. You breathe slowly, stay next to your instructor, and enjoy the reef. If at any point you want to go up, you simply signal and you go up together.

The guide was amazing! very knowledgeable, and gave us plenty of time underwater until one of us hit 100 bar. Very safe/we'll regulated within Padi standards (actually more so compared to other padi centres I've dived with). very thorough with checks and safety. Highly recommend for open water/ advanced open water divers!

10/10 experience. We went scuba diving in Hurghada in July. From the get go the guide was understanding, calm, end explained every bit that we needed to know thoroughly. Both dives were done with a guide, 2 pers / 1 guide. We saw the beautiful reefs and the many fishes living in them. We had lunch on the boat, after the second dive, around 1PM. The lunch was decent and diverse. After the lunch we went near the Eden Island and had 1hour of free time, which we used for snorkeling. The program ended around 5PM, when we started to head back to the port.
