Red Sea scuba diving for UK guests
Make your next holiday about the things you love: time in the water, colourful reefs and people who take care of you. At Dive UK Hurghada, we help UK guests plan Red Sea scuba diving around their experience, confidence and holiday plans.
Whether you want a week of guided dives, a patient refresher, your first PADI course or a bespoke diving holiday, you can talk directly with our owner before booking. Our British-owned and managed team will help you choose a suitable plan and explain the full price. Guests from Europe, the USA and around the world are equally welcome.
Red Sea scuba holidays for UK guests, planned around you
You do not need to arrive with everything worked out. Tell us when you would like to travel, who is coming and what you would love to do. We can help bring your diving, courses, accommodation and transfers together into a bespoke holiday.
Some guests want to dive every day. Others would like to learn, rebuild confidence or share their holiday with a non-diving partner. We listen first, then help you choose the right balance. Start with our diving holidays in Hurghada, or have a chat with us about a tailor-made trip.
Choose your Red Sea scuba holiday from the UK
Already qualified? Make a week of it
Book four or five days of guided boat diving and give yourself time to settle in, explore different reefs and enjoy the company on board. Each day includes two guided dives, with a maximum of four qualified divers per PADI Master Instructor.
The more days you book and the more divers who book together, the lower the published daily rate can be. Four friends booking five days pay £250 each for ten guided dives, before equipment hire or extra transfers. Explore our daily diving trips and packages.
Been away from diving? Start gently
Build your holiday around a refresher followed by four boat days. Our refresher is a two-dive day from shore, with time for questions, weighting, trim and the skills you want to practise. An optional wreck visit on the second dive depends on conditions and your comfort.
Then take those refreshed skills onto the boat and enjoy putting them into practice. This is our recommended approach, tailored to your circumstances. Read our guide to returning to diving and talk to us about your confidence before booking.
New to scuba? Begin at your own pace
You have two lovely ways to start. Our one-to-one Try Scuba Experience lets you discover how it feels to breathe underwater. Or choose the PADI Open Water course and work towards your first diving qualification.
Open Water costs £500 for one person, or £400 per person when four book together. A private course for one person is £650. We explain the course requirements and arrangements before you book, so you can choose with confidence.
Ready to learn more? Find your next course
Perhaps you would like to develop your buoyancy, explore wreck diving or work towards your next qualification. Our PADI course catalogue explains the options and links to each course’s requirements, content and prices.
After any course, we recommend a couple of days on the boat to enjoy your new skills. Tell us your qualification and recent experience, and we will help you choose learning and guided diving that fit together.

These totals include the two shore refresher dives and eight guided boat dives. Equipment is included if needed on the refresher day; hire for the following boat days is extra. Accommodation and flights are separate. We will confirm the full arrangements around your experience and dates.
Red Sea scuba holidays for UK divers and non-divers
Your partner does not have to dive for you to enjoy a holiday together. We can discuss snorkelling, a Try Scuba Experience and time to relax alongside your diving plans, with availability and prices agreed before booking.
Our concierge and bespoke holiday service helps with the planning around your circumstances. Explore tailor-made Egypt holidays for more ideas, then contact us on WhatsApp to talk through what would make the trip special for you.
Planning Red Sea scuba from the UK, step by step
1. Tell us about your holiday
Share your dates, who is travelling, your qualification and when you last dived. If you are new to scuba or feeling nervous, tell us that too. You can speak with our owner and ask questions before committing.
2. Agree your activities and full price
We help you choose packages, a refresher or courses, then explain what is included and any extras. Confirm diving availability with us before making travel arrangements that depend on particular dates.
3. Arrive with a clear plan
We confirm the activity arrangements and pickup details with you. Bring a refillable water bottle so you can stay hydrated. Our daily diving itinerary and preparation guide shows what a typical boat day looks like.
4. Enjoy diving with personal care
Safety always comes first with us. We choose sites around the conditions and the divers with us. Expect clear briefings, equipment and buddy checks, and time to ask questions. Our approach to boat safety explains the care behind your day.
Plan your Red Sea scuba holiday from the UK
For UK guests, having a friendly conversation before travelling can make planning much easier. Tell us whether your ideal holiday means learning something new, getting comfortable again or spending several days exploring the reefs. We would love to help.
For destination inspiration, see our scuba diving Egypt guide. If you are choosing dates, our Hurghada diving seasonal guide will help you plan.
We suggest that you book early to avoid disappointment. Places are limited because we take a maximum of four divers to one instructor for guided diving, giving you personal care and attention.
