Solo diving holiday Egypt

Thinking about a solo diving holiday in Egypt? Come and join us in Hurghada. Many of our guests travel on their own, and looking after solo travellers is a normal part of what we do.

You do not need to wait for a friend to book time off or find someone who shares your love of diving. In fact, we welcome people on their own throughout the year. From our first chat to your last day here, we will help you feel at home and enjoy the holiday you have been looking forward to.

See our seven, ten and fourteen-night holidays, or WhatsApp me for a personal consultation.

A solo diving holiday in Egypt, with a warm welcome

Coming on your own is nothing unusual here. In fact, we have plenty of experience welcoming solo guests and helping them settle in. For example, you will join other divers on the boat, share stories over lunch and have people around you who are enjoying the same thing.

You do not have to be the most outgoing person on board, either. If this is your first holiday alone, tell me. For example, we can talk through the things you are unsure about before you book, so you know what to expect.

Our British-owned and managed team welcomes guests from the UK, Europe, the USA and around the world. Wherever you are travelling from, we want you to feel comfortable asking questions and being yourself.

You do not need to bring a dive buddy

Also, there are other divers to buddy up with on the boat. First, we introduce you to the group and arrange your diving buddy, taking your experience and confidence into account. So you will not need to find someone before booking.

We take a maximum of four qualified divers per PADI Master Instructor on guided dives. As a result, we have time to get to know you, explain the dive plan properly and offer help when you need it.

Here, solo means travelling on your own. In other words, your holiday includes guided diving with buddy arrangements, so you can enjoy the reefs with company and support.

Your own space, with help close by

After diving, your studio gives you a place to relax, with no need to share a room. All studios have a fridge, and some have small kitchen facilities. We will explain the facilities in your studio before you book.

Also, there are shops and places to eat nearby. If you would like help finding your way around or choosing somewhere for dinner, just ask. We are happy to share the places we use ourselves.

Meanwhile, you can enjoy company during the diving day and spend your evenings as you please. However, there is no pressure to join in with everything. It is your holiday.

We look after many people travelling alone and understand that being able to reach us by WhatsApp call or message makes a difference. In other words, our support continues when you step off the boat.

Your solo diving holiday, at your pace

Tell us about your qualification, recent dives and anything you feel unsure about. If you have not dived for six months, let us know. In that case, we can include a refresher on your first day for a small supplement.

We choose dive sites each morning according to the weather, currents, abilities on board and course requirements. Over consecutive diving days, we try to give you a variety of sites. However, we cannot guarantee a particular reef or wildlife sighting.

Read how we choose our dive sites for more about how the days work. If you already have accommodation, our daily diving and multi-day packages let you join the boat without booking a full holiday.
