The Deep Diver Course in Hurghada takes certified divers beyond the standard 18-meter recreational limit, down to a maximum depth of 40 meters — the deepest a diver can go without decompression stops. Over 2 days, you'll build the skills, judgement, and confidence to plan and execute deep dives safely, while exploring dramatic drop-offs, wrecks, and reef walls most divers never see. On completion, you'll earn an internationally recognized NDL (National Dive League) Deep Diver certification.
Dive Planning & Gas Management — How to plan a deep dive from start to finish, calculate air consumption, and manage bottom time so you always surface with a safe reserve. Recognizing & Managing Nitrogen Narcosis — How increased pressure affects judgment and reaction time at depth, and the techniques to recognize and control its effects. Advanced Buoyancy Control — Fine-tuned trim and buoyancy skills for the added pressure and gas density of deeper water. Emergency Procedures for Deep Environments — Problem-solving, ascent procedures, and safety protocols specific to dives beyond 18 meters.
Day 1 — Theory & First Deep Dives: Classroom session covering pressure, gas laws, and dive planning, followed by two supervised dives introducing depths beyond 18 meters. Day 2 — Applied Skills & Certification Dives: Two further dives applying gas management, buoyancy, and emergency-procedure skills at depths approaching 40 meters, followed by your final theory review and NDL certification.
Your Deep Diver certification unlocks some of the Red Sea's most rewarding sites around Hurghada, including the SS Thistlegorm wreck, the reef walls of Abu Nuhas, and the dramatic drop-offs at Careless Reef—Explore more dive sites in Hurghada with Sadko!
