Red Sea Diving in Hurghada: Two Guided Boat Dives

Two dives in a single day, sites chosen for what lives there

A full-day guided diving activity in Hurghada's Red Sea with two boat dives at carefully selected sites, led by professional instructors and including lunch, refreshments and hotel pickup within Hurghada. The package suits both new divers and experienced ones; non-divers can join to snorkel instead. National park fees are an optional add at checkout.

The Experience

The boat leaves from the Marriott Beach Resort, where Aquarius Diving Club operates as a 5-Star PADI center. You'll spend roughly seven hours on the water, with two separate dives at sites chosen for their coral formations and the species that move through them. The guides are multilingual—English, Italian, French, German and others—and they stay with you underwater to point out what to look for and watch for safety. Between dives, the boat serves lunch and drinks on deck.

All the gear comes with you: tanks, weights, BCDs, regulators, wetsuits, masks, fins and snorkels are provided. If you're new to diving, the guides work at your pace and give personal attention to build confidence. If you've logged dives before, they'll take you to sites that match your experience. Non-divers traveling with the group can snorkel from the same boat instead, and children up to six ride free with their families.

Hotel pickup and drop-off within Hurghada are included; if you're staying in Makadi, Gouna or Sahl Hasheesh, there's a 15 Euro surcharge. Bring a valid diving certification if you have one, or let the guides know you're starting out—they'll adjust the sites and the depth accordingly. The club has 25 years running dives in this stretch of the Red Sea, so they know which reefs hold what and when.

Top questions

What exactly do I see when I dive at these Red Sea sites near Hurghada?

The dive sites are chosen for their coral formations and marine life diversity. The guides lead you to spots where you'll encounter the reef structure and the fish and other species that inhabit it, pointing out what's worth watching as you descend and move along the bottom.

Do I need diving certification to book this, or can I go if I've never dived before?

Both new and experienced divers can join. If you're new, the professional guides work with you at your pace and provide personalized attention. If you're certified, bring your card; if you're not, let the operator know and they'll adjust the sites and depth to suit a beginner.

What's included in the price, and what costs extra?

The activity runs about seven hours from pickup to drop-off, including both dives, the surface interval between them, lunch, and travel time to and from the dive sites.
