Inside this guide

Choose a course from your real starting point

Send your current certification, logged dives, last dive, age and holiday dates before the schedule is confirmed.

01

Training note

Which training route fits your goal?

Open Water is the entry route for a new diver. Advanced develops experience through selected adventure dives; Rescue focuses on awareness and response. A refresher restores comfort after a break, while professional training requires a much longer commitment.

  • Choose by goal and prerequisite, not by the deepest number.
  • A specialty develops a specific area; it is not a shortcut around experience.
  • Junior depth and supervision limits differ by age.
02

Training note

How a course is actually completed

A certification is earned through knowledge development, confined or shallow-water skills and required open-water performance. A fixed holiday schedule does not guarantee completion if a skill needs more practice.

  • Complete assigned learning before or during the course as agreed.
  • Skills are repeated until they are controlled, not merely attempted.
  • Weather can change the order of training without reducing standards.
03

Training note

Plan the course around your holiday

Confirm training language, materials, medical paperwork, equipment, certification processing and no-fly time before choosing dates. Keep the final day flexible rather than placing the last training dive immediately before departure.

  • Positive medical answers may require physician clearance.
  • Ask exactly what fees and equipment the displayed price includes.
  • Share flight time and any fixed family plans before scheduling.

Course-planning questions

Diving courses in Hurghada

Is an intro dive the same as a course?

No. An intro dive is a supervised experience. A course includes required training and assessment toward certification.

Can two people book together?

Yes. The booking records the group size, and the team creates a separate student profile for every participant.
