It costs $87 per person.

What is included in the price?

Speedboat trip & guide; Snorkeling stops in the protected area.

What is the minimum age?

Divers must be at least 8 years old.

Do I need a diving certification?

For guided dives a valid certification is required; snorkeling and introductory experiences need none. Contact us if you are unsure.

Is hotel pickup included?

Yes — free transfer to and from all hotels within Hurghada. Hotels in Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh and El Gouna have a small transfer surcharge.

What is the cancellation policy?

How deep can I dive without a certification?

Up to 12 metres, and only under the direct supervision of a PADI professional — that is what an introductory dive allows worldwide. Going deeper, or diving with just a buddy, requires a certification such as the PADI Open Water Diver course.

When is the best time to dive in Marsa Alam?

All year round — the Red Sea has no closed season. Water runs from about 22°C in February to 30°C in August, and March–May and September–November bring the most comfortable mix of warm water, light wind and good visibility. Winter diving is excellent too; you simply want a thicker wetsuit.

Dive sites in this area

Reefs this trip may visit. The captain chooses each day's sites by wind, current and conditions on the morning — so treat this as the area, not a schedule.
