We are very lucky in the Red Sea and have almost perfect diving in Hurghada conditions all of the time. There are mainly 2 seasons here, summer and winter. Visibility is generally good all year round and most days we have up to 30m visibility. Even on a poor day you will still have excellent Vis of approx. 10m.

Summer water temperatures can reach highs of 31 degrees in the months of June, July, August and September. October and November the Water temp starts to drop and reaches its coldest of 22 degrees. In the months of December, January and February starting to rise again in the months of March, April and May.

In our opinion yes, one of the best places in the world, we say this because of many reasons. Firstly, the Red Sea has great conditions to learn in and has almost zero current most of the time, its warm and has an abundance of sea life to see. When you learn to Scuba dive its very important to chose a good Instructor, one who will take his time and one who LOVES to teach. If you have these two factors you will learn to a higher standard and be a much better/safer diver. We offer a full range of PADI Courses from beginner to PADI IDC Courses for Instructors.

If you are confident in the water and know for sure you want to become a Scuba diver then we recommend you start with your PADI Open Water Course. We offer this course over 3 days which involves 3 elements, theory work where you will watch a video and complete knowledge reviews in your very own PADI Open Water Manual. Confined water exercises before moving into Open water. You will learn a set of skills to become confident in the water and be able to Scuba dive safely. At the end of your training, you will take a small exam to become qualified to dive to 18m anywhere in the world. Our specialist Instructor will be with you every step of the way and you will be introduced to the world of Scuba in a safe and fun way that you
will not forget for the rest of your life.

We meet all of our students a couple of days prior to starting the course to set out the course content and to give you your study manual. We believe its important none of our students feel rushed and have time to read their books prior to starting the course.

Many operators here will give you the books on the day your start and we have found this often causes stress for the student and the course then becomes very rushed.

We teach to the highest of PADI standards and cut no corners in any of our training, we fully understand everybody learns different so work to your speed to make you feel comfortable.
