About this trip

This diving trip takes you from Hurghada on a specially equipped yacht for two open-sea dives, followed by lunch on board. The boats are fully equipped with everything needed for diving: you receive all the necessary equipment and a briefing, and a certified instructor leads your dive and shows you the underwater world.

Diving near Hurghada

Serious divers say the best diving is in Egypt. There are many islands with dive sites, and Giftun Island alone is worth a visit. Caves, a wide variety of colorful corals and many fish are right next to you. The coral reefs lie close to the coast, and their species and shapes, from branched to round and flat, are remarkably varied.

A coral's color shows its age: only living corals keep their color, and after their life cycle ends they lose it and turn white. Diving gives you a deeper understanding of this underwater world.

Protecting the reef

Fish, turtles, seaweed and corals are Egypt's national treasures. A coral reef is a complex living organism that no one has the right to harm, and damaging marine flora or fauna carries heavy fines.

Timing

Pickup is at around 8:00 AM, depending on where your hotel is, and drop-off is at approximately 3:30 PM the same day. Contact us any time if you need help.
