PADI Advanced Open Water Course in Hurghada

The PADI Advanced Course in Hurghada is your next step after Open Water when you feel ready to build on your experience. It gives you the chance to explore deeper diving and try Adventure Dives such as navigation, wreck, drift and buoyancy. Safety comes first. We want you to finish with a real sense of achievement and skills that help you become a more confident, safer diver.

Over two days, you will spend time with your PADI Master Instructor, building on the foundations of your Open Water course. Day one is from shore and day two is from the boat. Along the way, you can ask questions, practise new skills and enjoy the amazing underwater world here in Hurghada.

We teach to high standards, but we never want you to feel rushed. Your learning experience matters to us, so we take time to explain each dive and help you feel comfortable before getting into the water.

Your PADI Advanced course in Hurghada, step by step

The PADI Advanced Course in Hurghada takes place over two days, starting from shore and continuing from the boat.

  • Book your course. First, tell us your dates, certification and recent diving experience so we can help you plan your next step.
  • Complete your PADI eLearning. Next, work through the knowledge development for your Adventure Dives before the practical sessions, with support if you need it.
  • Day one — shore diving. First, meet your PADI Master Instructor, check your equipment and begin your Adventure Dives from shore. Before each dive, we take time to explain the plan, go through the safety checks and help you build confidence.
  • Day two — boat diving. Then continue your course from the boat and build on the skills practised on day one. Lunch and refreshments are also included on this day.
  • Complete five Adventure Dives. Deep and Underwater Navigation are required, with three other Adventure Dives agreed with your instructor. Together, we choose dives that suit your experience, interests and the conditions.

Safety comes first, and we never rush your learning. During the course, your instructor will explain what is required and give you patient, personal feedback throughout the course. When you meet all the course requirements, you receive your certification.

Your PADI Advanced course in Hurghada: personal support

We take great pride in teaching every student and deliver our PADI courses in small groups. During your five Adventure Dives, you must complete both Deep and Underwater Navigation. For example, your other dives could include wreck, drift, buoyancy, DSMB or search and recovery, depending on conditions and what is suitable for you.

Before you decide, your instructor will talk through the choices with you and explain how each dive builds your skills. For example, better buoyancy helps you feel more comfortable in the water, while navigation helps you find your way with more confidence. Your safety is our priority, so we choose dives that suit your experience and the conditions on the day.

Doing your Advanced course can also be a highlight of your holiday. Above all, we want you to feel relaxed, supported and confident throughout your time with us. Our PADI Master Instructors have years of experience and hundreds of courses taught. We usually teach two divers to one instructor, so you have plenty of time to ask questions and practise. If you are a family and would like to learn together, we can teach you in a group of up to four.

Find out what goes into the cost of your course.

After you finish the course, we suggest joining us for two days of fun diving from the boat. That way, you have time to put what you have learnt into practice, gain experience and enjoy your diving. There is no need to rush into another course, because spending time in the water helps those new skills feel more natural.

PADI Advanced course in Hurghada — your questions answered

Can I take the Advanced course straight after Open Water?

You can, but there is no need to rush. Instead, we recommend gaining experience and completing at least 20 dives first, so you can get more from the Advanced course. However, this is our recommendation, rather than an entry requirement. Before booking, tell us about your recent diving so we can help you choose the right next step.

New to diving? If you want to learn to dive, start with our PADI Open Water course in Hurghada. We’ll help you choose the right first step.

How long is the PADI Advanced course in Hurghada?

The course is normally completed over two days and five Adventure Dives. First, you dive from shore on day one, then from the boat on day two. Before you begin, your instructor will confirm the dive plan with you.

Which dives are included in the PADI Advanced course in Hurghada?

Deep and Underwater Navigation are required. In addition, you choose three other Adventure Dives with your instructor, depending on your interests, conditions and what is suitable. For example, options may include buoyancy, wreck, drift, DSMB or search and recovery.

How deep can I dive after the course?

For divers aged 15 and over, the Advanced Open Water certification allows diving to a maximum of 30 metres, within your training and experience. However, different depth limits apply to junior divers.

Is an Adventure Dive a full speciality course?

An Adventure Dive introduces you to an activity so you can try it out. However, it is not the same as completing the full speciality course. Afterwards, ask us if you would like to continue developing a particular skill.

Are equipment and meals included?

We also include equipment, PADI eLearning, certification, marine fees and taxes. Lunch and refreshments are also included on the boat day. However, lunch is not included on the shore day.

Can younger divers take the course?

Junior Open Water Divers can start from age 12, although age-specific limits apply. For more information, please see our Junior Advanced Open Water course or contact us to discuss the right course.

What if I feel nervous or need more practice?

If you feel unsure, please tell us. Safety comes first, and we want you to feel comfortable asking for help. Throughout the course, your PADI Master Instructor will offer patient guidance and personal attention. If further training is needed, we will discuss the next steps and any extra costs with you before arranging it.

What should I do after my Advanced Open Water course?

Afterwards, we suggest two days of fun diving from the boat with us. After learning new skills, it is important to spend time using them, because confidence grows with practice. Along the way, you can practise, build confidence and gain experience while enjoying the Red Sea. Let us know your plans when booking so we can help you arrange the extra diving.
