What we'll dive
We pick the best two sites for the day's wind, swell, and your level — never a one-size-fits-all itinerary. On a typical day that means a 30 m wall or pinnacle in the morning followed by a sun-drenched shallow reef after lunch. If you have a wishlist site (El Mina, Erg Abu Ramada, Gota Abu Ramada), tell us when you book and we'll do our best.

FAQ
What if I haven't dived for a while?
Tell us when you book. If your last dive was over 12 months ago, we'll add a relaxed refresher dive at the start (€40 extra) to get your skills sharp before the day's main dives.
Can my non-diving partner come on the boat?
Yes — €35 covers their day on board with lunch and drinks. They can snorkel at both stops.
Is nitrox available?
Yes, €8 surcharge per nitrox tank. Bring your nitrox certification card.
What's included in the €50?
Two boat dives with a divemaster, tanks, weights, dive insurance, hot lunch, soft drinks on board, and souvenir photos of your dive. Hotel transfer is €5 per person, equipment rental is €10 if you need it (bring your own for free). Optional upgrades: dive computer rental (€15/day), private 1-on-1 guide (€20), private camera rental (€20/day), nitrox (€8/dive).
Are dive photos really included?
Yes — our guides take souvenir photos and videos during the dive and share them with you after the trip. If you'd prefer to shoot your own, you can rent a private underwater camera for €20/day.
What does the private 1-on-1 guide upgrade get me?
For €20 extra, our divemaster is dedicated entirely to you for the day — no buddy group, your own pace, your dive plan. Great for nervous returners, photographers, or anyone who wants a slower, more personal experience.
What's the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. Inside 24 hours we charge 50% unless the cancellation is weather-related, in which case we rebook you free or refund in full.

Dive sites you may visit
Site choice depends on the day's wind, swell, and your group's level.
Abu Hashish
A sprawling reef system south of Hurghada with multiple dive profiles in one location — wall, sandy slope, lagoon, and seagrass beds where turtles graze and dugongs occasionally appear.
Abu Ramada South
A spectacular drift along a vibrant fringing reef south of Giftun Island. Schooling barracuda, batfish, and the occasional eagle ray patrol the deeper edges while the shallow reef explodes with anthias.
El Mina Wreck
A 70 m Egyptian minesweeper sunk during the 1967 war, lying on her port side at 32 m. The most dramatic and accessible wreck in the Hurghada area — and a highlight of any Advanced Open Water course.
Erg Abu Ramada
An iconic offshore pinnacle rising from 30 m to within 4 m of the surface. Three towers connected by saddles, festooned in soft coral and patrolled by big fish.
Gota Abu Ramada
Nicknamed 'The Aquarium' for good reason — the densest, most riotous fish life of any easy reef in the Hurghada area. The first dive every visiting photographer asks for.
