Our intro diving programme in Hurghada requires
absolutely nothing from you except good health and the desire to
try something new. No PADI certification. No open water course.
No swimming test.

Before your first dive, your certified instructor gives you a
short, clear briefing on breathing technique, hand signals and
safety rules – everything you need to know in about 15 minutes.
Then you enter the water together, slowly and at your own pace.
You are never alone underwater.

Hurghada’s coral reefs are among the most biodiverse in the world.
On your intro diving day in Hurghada, you may encounter:

Parrotfish, clownfish, angelfish, surgeonfish and dozens more species swimming freely around the reefs.

Hard and soft corals in every shape and colour – brain corals, fan corals, table corals and fire corals.

The Red Sea is home to green and hawksbill sea turtles – a magical sighting on many intro dives.

Whitetip and blacktip reef sharks are common in Hurghada’s waters – completely harmless to divers.

Hidden in the reef crevices – your instructor knows exactly where to look.

El Fanus reef (Dolphin Reef) is one of Hurghada’s most popular dive sites – wild dolphins visit regularly.

📋 Dive briefing: At the marina, your certified dive instructor is waiting. You receive a clear, simple introduction to the diving equipment, breathing technique, hand signals and safety rules. The whole briefing takes about 15 minutes – straightforward and stress-free.

⛵ Boat trip to the first dive site: The boat takes you out to one of Hurghada’s most beautiful coral reefs. Even the boat ride itself gives you a first taste of the Red Sea coast.

🤿 First guided intro dive: Together with your instructor, you descend for the very first time – to approximately 5–7 metres depth. The water is warm, clear and calm. Colourful fish, vibrant coral formations and the extraordinary feeling of weightlessness are waiting for you.

🌊 The Red Sea from below: Hurghada’s reefs are among the most biodiverse in the world – parrotfish, lionfish, moray eels, sea turtles and glowing corals in every colour imaginable. Your instructor points out the highlights as you go.

☀️ Sun deck break: Between the two dives, you relax on the boat’s sun deck – enjoy the sea breeze, take in the views or snorkel in the crystal-clear water around the boat.

🍽️ Fresh lunch on board: A freshly prepared lunch plus mineral water and soft drinks are served on board – fully included, no extra charge.

🤿 Second dive at a second reef: Your second intro dive takes you to a different coral reef – a completely new underwater landscape. With the confidence gained from the first dive, you can now truly relax and absorb everything around you.

🐢 Keep your eyes open: sea turtles, octopus and reef sharks are frequently spotted on afternoon dives in Hurghada’s reefs.

⛵ Return to marina: In the afternoon the boat heads back to Hurghada marina. Time for final photos, exchanging impressions and a last look at the Red Sea.
