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.

- Hotel pickup and return included: Hurghada, Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, El Gouna and Soma Bay.
- Dive computer rental — €15 per day (premium kit upgrade)
- Private 1-on-1 guide — €20 (your own divemaster for the day, no buddy group)
- Private camera rental — €20 per day (souvenir shots already included, this is for taking your own photos)
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 pickup and return included: Hurghada, Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, El Gouna and Soma Bay. 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.
