Diving Holiday - Hurghada and Marsa Alam

The flight to Hurghada is not included in the price of this tour. Keep in mind that once you book this tour, you should wait with booking the flight until you have had a confirmation email from us.

Once we have confirmed your holiday, you need to send us your flight details, so that we can arrange the airport-transfers.

On this tour you will stay at a 5-star beachfront resort/hotel in a double room in Hurghada and a 3-star hotel in Marsa Alam. All Inclusive will be available at the hotels. Exactly which resorts/hotels will be decided a few days before you arrive in Egypt.

It is possible to obtain a diving certification on this trip. In that case, it will be a 3–5 day PADI Open Water course. You will still have the same number of diving days, but the first days will be used for the certification.

If you want to take a diving certificate on your trip, you can opt for it when you book.

Here you can read our guide to diving certification.

The course is divided into three phases

• Theory - You learn the basic principles of diving
• Confined Water dives - You'll make your first dives in a safe environment (e.g. a swimming pool or shallow water). You'll be trained in basic techniques.
• Open Water dives - You'll make your first four dives in the ocean. Here you use the techniques you learnt in the previous confined water dives.

PADI E-Learning
We recommend completing the theory in advance through a PADI e-learning course. The e-learning is not included in the price and therefore comes at an additional cost. The e-learning course can be purchased directly on PADI’s website.

In order to take the diving licence, you must have completed this document. The rule is that if you can answer no to everything on page 1, you do not need to see a doctor. If you can answer yes to something, then you need to see a doctor and the doctor needs to complete and sign page 2.

There will be All Inclusive at the hotels and on diving days, lunch will be served on the boat. How many of the hotel 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.

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

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months upon entry.

We can also arrange visas for you. If you want us to do this, you can opt-in on the booking form.

We recommend taking out travel insurance that covers at least illness, accident, repatriation, lost holiday, luggage and liability. As a customer, you are responsible for taking out the necessary travel insurance to cover these costs.

Before taking out insurance, you should check whether you are already covered by travel or cancellation insurance through your home insurance company, credit card or similar - please note that there may be differences in insurance coverage.
