VIP Private Open Water Course — 1-on-1

This is the complete PADI Open Water Diver certification — the same three days, the same four training dives, the same lifetime licence to dive to 18 metres worldwide — delivered as a fully private course. No group, no waiting for other students, no shared attention: one instructor, dedicated entirely to you from the first theory session to the final certification dive.

The private format changes the experience profoundly. Nervous in water? Your instructor slows down exactly where you need it, repeats any skill until it clicks, and nobody else is watching. A natural? You move faster, spend the saved time actually diving, and finish each day with longer, richer reef dives. The schedule bends around you too — start times, breaks and the daily rhythm are arranged to suit you rather than a group timetable.

The course itself follows the full PADI programme: dive theory with the official materials, confined-water skill development in calm shallow conditions, then four open-water dives on Red Sea reefs — the first two to 12 metres, the final two to 18 — with a short exam to complete the theory. Minimum age 10, basic swimming ability and a standard medical statement are the only requirements.

On request the private format can be shared with your partner, family or friends — the course stays closed to outsiders and the personal pace is preserved. Equipment, materials, the certification fee, lunches and drinks on board, and transfers within Hurghada are all included.
