PADI Open Water Diver
The most popular way to become a certified diver. Learn to dive safely and earn a license recognized worldwide.

Shore diving, house reef, and calm training conditions
Makadi Bay is our base for shore diving and house reef access. You can walk in from the beach and dive without a long boat day, which makes it ideal for training, refreshers, and relaxed dives. The calm conditions and the heated hotel pool option make it a great place to start an Open Water course.
Our house reef, straight off the hotel beach
Siva Grand Makadi
Our Makadi centre is inside the Siva Grand Makadi. Sharm El Arab, our house reef, is straight off the hotel beach, so you walk in and dive without a boat.
Hotel pickup is easy across the Makadi Bay area.
