PADI Scuba Diver Course — Hurghada
PADI Scuba Diver Course in Hurghada
Short on time? The PADI Scuba Diver course is the fast track: half the theory and dives of the full Open Water course, earning you a certification to dive to 12 metres with a PADI professional. It upgrades to full Open Water later with credit for everything you've done.
More About This Trip
The PADI Scuba Diver rating is the answer to a very common holiday problem: you want a real certification, not just a taster dive, but you do not have three days to spare. This course compresses the essentials into two days and leaves you with a genuine lifetime PADI card.
Day one covers the first sections of PADI dive theory — how pressure affects the body, how to plan a safe dive, how the equipment works — plus confined-water training in calm, shallow conditions where you master the core skills: clearing your mask, recovering your regulator, controlling your buoyancy. Day two takes you to the reef for two open-water training dives with your instructor, putting the skills to work over genuine Red Sea coral gardens.
The certification you earn qualifies you to dive worldwide to 12 metres under the direct supervision of a PADI professional — which in practice covers most guided holiday diving. Better still, everything counts forward: whenever you are ready, in Hurghada or anywhere on earth, the remaining theory sections and two more training dives upgrade you to the full Open Water Diver rating with no repeated work.
The minimum age is 10 (junior rating applies until 15), you should be able to swim and be in normal good health, and a standard medical statement is completed before training. All equipment, course materials and the PADI certification fee are included, along with lunch and drinks on the training days and transfers within Hurghada.

Dive Safe Package — medical care is on us
Diving with us includes medical care from licensed physicians — before your dive, on the day, and after your trip has ended. If anything comes up once you are back at your hotel, you are still ours to look after: call us and we arrange the doctor, at no extra cost.
A dive medical fitness check before you get in the water is entirely up to you. Some divers simply like the reassurance — say the word and we arrange it with a licensed physician at no extra cost, whenever suits you. And if the physician advises against diving, we refund your booking in full.
This is the whole price
The PADI certification fee is already inside the price above — along with your equipment, instructor and course materials. Worth checking before you compare: some dive centres quote the course on its own and add the manual and certification at the desk, typically €90–€130. Others include it, as we do. So compare what each price covers, not just the number.
What is genuinely not included is listed above, in full — nothing else is added at the boat.
