You can read more about the PADI Open Water course on the official PADI website.

Here are some of the questions we often get asked about this trip:

How does the diving on this trip work?
Every morning you will be picked up from your hotel and taken to the boat. It is important to know that diving is mass tourism in Egypt and therefore there may be many other guests on the boats sharing the dive guides. The diving is finished around 17:00-17:30, after which you will be driven back to your hotel.

What is the equipment included, what is it like?
As mentioned, the equipment on the boats is used a lot and therefore the equipment included on the boats will often be worn. In addition, wetsuits can have holes and other imperfections - however, the water is so warm that a hole in a wetsuit is rarely a problem. That said, safety is good and the equipment works.

Can I experience wreck diving on the trip?
Yes, you can. It costs 30 euro per wreck dive. If you want this, please write it in the message box when you book the tour. We need to know how many dives you want. We can also take care of this after you have booked the trip.

Can I dive with nitrox?
Yes, you can. It costs 15 euro per dive. If you want this, please write it in the message box when you book the trip.

Children on the tour. Is this possible?
Yes, it is. Here are the prices for children sharing a room with two fully paying adults:

Children under 4 years old. Free of charge
Children between 4 and 12 years: 50% discount
Children between 12 and 18 years: Same price as adults

Note: Children must be at least 10 years old to dive.

Where the diving trips start from?
The boat departs from Hurghada.

How long are the days?
You will be picked up from the hotel between 8 and 9 am (the person who picks you up at the airport on arrival will give you the exact time). You should be back at the hotel between 16:00 and 17:00.

Can I have three dives in one day?
Yes, you can. It costs 15 euros per person per "extra dive day". The amount is paid locally. If you want three dives, please let us know the day before if possible - it can also be planned from home.

Which dive spots can we expect to dive at on the trip?
Exactly where the diving takes place varies depending on wind and weather. Here's a list of places we often visit:

• Small Giftun
• Big Giftun
• Abu Ramada
• Shoo An Era
• Abu Monar

Can I take the PADI Open Water course or PADI Advanced Open Water course on this trip?
Yes, you can. Regardless of which course you choose, it will cost extra. Please note that when you choose a course, the 10 dives are cancelled and replaced by the course. See the booking form.

What is the procedure for test dives?
If it's been more than six months since you've dived, the first dive of the trip (counting towards the 10 dives) will be a shorter test dive, where the guides make sure you remember how everything works.

On this tour you will stay at the beachfront Jasmin Palace Resort & Spa. There will be All Inclusive at the hotel.

All Inclusive at the hotel and on diving days, lunch is served on the boat. Drinks are also included.

Important: Even though you're staying at a 5-star resort, it's important to realise that All Inclusive buffets are "OK" food, but not great. This is the case in Egypt and everywhere else (we think).

Visa to Egypt is not included in the price of this trip. Visas are arranged at the airport, so make sure you bring 30 euros per person for this.

We can also arrange visas for you. If you would like us to do this, you can opt for this on the booking form.

Note: If you purchase your flight from a charter company, a visa may be included in the price of the flight.
