PADI Wreck Diver Specialty Course
PADI Wreck Diver Course in Hurghada
Four dives over two days on real Red Sea wrecks, learning to plan, survey and navigate wreck dives safely — including the use of lines and reels for penetration. Hurghada's wrecks make an unbeatable classroom.
More About This Trip
Wrecks are where diving meets history, and Hurghada has the real thing: a genuine 1970 minesweeper resting outside the harbour, plus the remains of supply vessels and safari boats scattered across the surrounding reefs. The PADI Wreck Diver specialty uses these sites as a working classroom over two days and four training dives.
The course teaches the craft that separates safe wreck diving from risky poking around. Dive one focuses on assessing and navigating the outside of a wreck — reading its layout, identifying hazards like sharp metal, entanglement points and unstable structure, and understanding why wrecks concentrate so much marine life. Dive two adds surveying and mapping, dive three introduces working with lines and reels from outside, and dive four brings it together with a supervised limited-penetration dive using the line techniques you have practised, where the site safely allows it.
Along the way you learn the legal and ethical side — why wrecks like war graves and antiquities are protected, and why nothing is ever removed. The prerequisite is an Adventure Diver rating or higher and a minimum age of 15; deep experience helps since local wrecks sit in the 17-32 metre range. Equipment, PADI materials, the certification fee, lunches on board and Hurghada transfers are included. The certification counts toward the Master Scuba Diver rating and pairs naturally with the Deep and Enriched Air specialties.

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.
