Red Sea Daily Diving — 2 Dives

This is the classic Hurghada diving day: two boat dives at two different reef sites, chosen each morning by the guide team according to the wind, the current and the experience level of the divers on board. The Hurghada reef system offers everything from sheltered lagoons and shallow coral gardens to dramatic walls, drift dives and offshore pinnacles — sites like the Giftun Islands area, Abu Ramada, El Fanadir, Fanous and, for the adventurous, open-sea reefs known for moray eels and passing pelagics.

The day begins with pickup from your Hurghada hotel and a morning departure from the marina. Each dive is preceded by a full briefing covering the site layout, depth plan, entry technique and what to look out for. Groups are kept small and are always accompanied by an experienced local guide who knows every cleaning station and swim-through on the route. Between dives the boat moves to the second site while the crew serves a fresh lunch on board; coffee, tea, water and soft drinks are available all day.

Bring your certification card — the trip is open to all certified divers from entry level upward, and dive depths are matched to your qualification. A full equipment set can be rented for €15 per day, and enriched air (nitrox) is available for €10 for two tanks for nitrox-certified divers. The Red Sea marine park fee of €5 per person per day is payable locally. You are back at your hotel in the late afternoon, logbook one page fuller.
