It is not possible to do a PADI Open Water course on this tour. If you want to take the course we recommend that you consider our diving holiday in Hurghada.

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 hire like?
As mentioned, the equipment on the boats is used a lot and therefore the equipment included on the boats will often be worn out. In addition, wetsuits may 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.

How much does it cost to rent equipment
We have intentionally not included equipment (besides tanks and weights). We've done this because the price of equipment can vary greatly depending on the equipment you prefer. Locally, it will cost somewhere between 25 and 50 euros per day of diving, depending on how old your equipment is. The equipment is well maintained.

Can I experience wreck diving on the trip?
Yes, you can. Just let us know if you want to dive at Thistlegorm, for example. If you want this, you must select it 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 tour. Please note that two dives at Thistlegorm cost an extra 90 euros per person and require Advanced Open Water or similar. This is paid locally and you should be aware that departures to Thistlegorm depend on whether the boats have enough participants.

Can we dive at Ras Mohamed Marine Park?
Yes, you can. On this trip you will be diving in and around Ras Mohamed Marine Park. All fees for this are included.

Can I dive with nitrox?
Yes, you can. It costs 95kr per dive. If you wish to do this, please write it in the message box when booking the trip.

Where do the diving trips start from?
The boat departs from Sharm El Sheikh.

How long are the days?
You will be picked up from your hotel between 8am and 9am (the person who picks you up from the airport on arrival will give you the exact time). You will be back at the hotel between 15 and 16:30.

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:

• Thistlegorm (costs extra)
• Shark and Yolanda
• Ras Umm Sidd
• Jackson Reef
• Temple
• Ras Mohamed (extra cost)

Please note: it is not guaranteed that you will be taken to a different area each day, but which spots you dive in each area will vary.

Can I take the PADI Open Water course or PADI Advanced Open Water course on this trip?
No, you cannot. If you want a PADI course, we recommend travelling to Hurghada instead.

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 a 4-star resort/hotel in a double room. The hotel will be All Inclusive. The exact resort/hotel will be decided a few days before you arrive in Egypt.

The hotels will be All Inclusive and on diving days, lunch will be served on the boat. How many of the hotel's restaurants are included in the All Inclusive offer varies. At some hotels, all restaurants are included and at others, for example, two restaurants are included and at the rest you have to pay for the food.

Important: Even if you're staying at a 4-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).

Travel Insurance In general we recommend that you are covered by a good travel insurance covering at least Medical Expenses, Illness, Personal Accident, Baggage and Repatriation. The customer is responsible to take the necessary travel insurance that covers these costs. Bering Travel, or our local partners, do not have any responsibility for our customers not being covered by a necessary travel insurance. You have to arrange your insurance in your home country.
