PADI diving courses 

Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can do a PADI scuba diving course. If you are between 10 and 14 or have a child between these ages, there are PADI Junior programs available.

PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you. The amount of days mentioned, are average times to do the courses. After completing a course you will receive an internationally recognized and respected  PADI diving certificate.

If you are not sure about diving, you can try by doing one or two introduction dives first.

Try introduction diving

Try diving with a Divemaster or Instructor that gently introduces you to the wonders of the Red Sea. 

Introduction diving is a full day on our boat with one or two dives. The Divemaster or Instructor is going to explain you some basics about diving, help you with some easy skills and then, hand in hand if needed,  show you around under water. You will not go deeper than to 10 meters. <<

Open Water Diver

The PADI Open Water Diver course is the most popular scuba diving course in the world. In four days we will help you through the basics about scuba diving.

You will learn the basics in diving both in theory and through practical exercises. You begin in a pool or from the beach and continue after this on our boat with 4 open water dives.

As and open water diver you will be certified to dive with an another certified diver in similar diving conditions to a maximum depth of 18 meters.

If you are short on time, you can do the PADI Scuba Diver course. This is approximately half of the Open Water Diver course (3 pool dives and 2 open water dives) and takes two days to do. You will be a certified diver, but you will still have to dive with an Instructor or Divemaster until you finish the rest of the Open Water Diver course. Maximum depth for a Scuba diver is 12 meters. << Mail us now >>

Adventures in Diving

The Adventures in Diving program offers both the Adventure Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver certifications.

If you complete three adventure dives, you can earn your PADI Adventure Diver certification. If you complete your Deep dive, Underwater Navigation dive and three other Adventure Dives, you can earn your Advanced Open Water Diver certification.

You can start with the Adventure dives right after the completion of the Open Water Diver course (or similar course from an another diving organization). The Adventure diver course can be done in a day, while the full Advanced course can be done in two or three days, depending on what dives you want to do.

The adventure dives you can choose from in Hurghada is wreck, deep, underwater navigation, night, fish identification, underwater naturalist, search and recovery, peak performance buoyancy, multilevel and computer, drift diving and underwater photographing.

Enriched Air Specialty Course

Enriched Air (Nitrox) is your first step towards a little bit more technical diving. When you increase the amount of oxygen in the air, you can prolong your bottom times and reduce the risk for decompression sickness.

The course take one day to do and includes two dives. What is required is that you are a certified Open Water Diver or similar, and that you are at least 15 years old.

 

Rescue and Emergency First Response

The Rescue Diver course trains you in stress avoidance, emergency management and rescue diving. You will also learn how to deal with various emergency situations through scenarios.

You will get more confident in situations where you have to help yourself or other divers solve problems that can arise when diving.

The Rescue Diver course takes two to three days to do. You should be an Advanced Diver, be at least 12 years old and have 20 logged dives before you start your course.

You should also have done an Emergency First Response course (or another first aid course that includes reanimation of the heart and lungs.) If you do not have training in first aid, you can do the Emergency First Response course here with us in a day. 

An Emergency First Response certification (or similar) is valid for two years. Do it here or bring your certificate with you to prove that you have done a course in less than 24 months before your Rescue Course.

Divemaster

The Divemaster course takes anything from 3 weeks to 2 months to do and will teach you scuba diving knowledge and skills that you need when you guide other divers or help your instructor doing courses. 

You should be at least 18 years old and certified as a Rescue Diver. You should also have an Emergency First Response certification (or similar) not older than 2 years. You need to have a medical fitness report from a doctor and show us proof of at least 60 logged dives before you start your course.

Becoming professional means owning and taking care of your own gear. If you still do not have all the gears of your own, we can arrange a rental deal for the time of the course.

All our Divemaster courses are tailor-made solutions. If you want to, we can help you find a flat here so you can stay longer than three weeks. If your time is limited, split your course in two sections. Contact us well in advance so we can arrange a time table and help you with the materials needed to get you started.<<

Referral

Maybe you started a PADI scuba diving course back home that you never finished due to a flue or dark, cold water? 
You can do a referral course here with us in the warm and clear waters of the Red Sea, comfortable from our dive boat!

Ask your instructor for your referral papers if you do not have them yet and bring them with you. Remember that you can only do a referral within a year from when you stopped your course. After this you will have to start all over again.

The price in the price list is for the 4 open water dives from the Open Water Diver course. If you are doing an another course or need something more, contact us for the exact price
