Over the course of 10 dives, you’ll learn step by step how to dive safely while exploring Hurghada’s vibrant reefs and lagoons. This approach gives you more time underwater, more confidence in your skills, and a truly memorable intro to the underwater world.
How Does the Open Water Course Work?
Your Open Water Diver Course combines theory, practice, and fun perfectly. Learning occurs directly in the Red Sea, giving you a real diving experience from day one.
Interactive theory sessions are held in a comfortable, air-conditioned salon, making it easy to understand diving principles.
Practical training happens on the reefs and in calm lagoons – no pools, just real diving conditions in the Red Sea.
You’ll complete 10 dives instead of the standard 4, which means you’ll gain more experience and confidence underwater.
Small group sizes ensure that your instructor gives you personal attention and guidance every step of the way.
Between dives, you’ll have time to relax, sunbathe on deck, swim, or simply enjoy the view of the sea.

Not at all! The Open Water Diver course is designed for beginners and taught at a comfortable pace to help you gain confidence and master the essential skills step by step.

This way, you’ll be learning while enjoying the magic of the Red Sea, making your training both effective and fun.
