Info

Learn to dive with unlimited access to the warm crystal clear waters, stunning weather and incredible marine life of the Red Sea in Egypt!

This program is the ideal introduction to scuba diving, learning all the fundamentals, safety and rescue whilst absorbing the beautiful marine life.

Under professional supervision you will complete the PADI National Geographic Open Water (teaches you the fundamentals and sound environmental practice) and PADI Advanced Open Water courses (qualifies you to dive down to 30m and learn about underwater navigation, fish identification and peak performance buoyancy).

On arrival, Sportforce will meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel, typically with balconies overlooking the swimming pool surrounded by palm trees. Your scuba diving adventures will begin the next morning when you will be picked up from the hotel and transferred to the scuba schoolboy Jeep. After the welcome briefing and culture and customs orientation, it is time for your first underwater experience!

You will complete two dives per day whilst onboard the dive boat, exploring the unbelievable underwater marine life the Red Sea has to offer! Clownfish, barracudas, moray eels, turtles and schools of dolphins are some of the awesome creatures you will have a chance to see in the crystal-clear, blue waters! In between dives why not soak up some rays or relax during the night dives and watch the mesmerising sunsets?

Our exclusive scuba diving adventures are educational, thrilling and rewarding. You will develop as an individual and learn a considerable amount about yourself, acquiring skills you can use for the rest of your life.

Location: Renowned as the capital of the diving world, the Red Sea cannot fail to impress. For new divers, learning in these warm waters, populated by some of the most astounding sea creatures, you are sure to get hooked! Dahab (means ‘golden sands, turquoise sea and off-beat cafe life’ in the Sinai) has a huge variety of dive sites, from shallow coral gardens to deep drop offs and canyons. This is what makes Dahab so special, you can explore one type of topography on your morning dive and then see something completely different in the afternoon. Our 4 week program provides a trip to ‘Ras Mohammed’ the National Park of South Sinai, located on the very tip of the Sinai Peninsula. This represents some of the most famous dive sites in the Red Sea with 800-metre (2,600 ft) deep reef walls, pounding current and coral gardens.

Either option will also give you time to explore the stunning desert surroundings and to visit a Bedouin camp whilst topping up your tan. Around the diving are the activities and free-time. There's plenty of time to get a tan and the excursions wreck diving and to Ras Abu Gallum by camel add a sense of adventure to the program. We also arrange a trip to the decompression chamber. This is included as we feel that it's important for you to fully understand the signs and symptoms of decompression sickness as a Rescue Diver.
