Beginner Scuba Diving in Hurghada: 2 Dive Sites

Two dives, one instructor, no certification required

Beginner scuba diving in Hurghada with a private instructor covers two different dive sites in a single eight-hour day. You learn to use the equipment in the water with the instructor at your side the entire time, and the day includes hotel pickup, lunch and bottled water. A marine tax payable in cash is separate.

The Experience

Eight hours from pickup means you spend the morning and early afternoon in the water at two different locations around Hurghada. The instructor meets you at your hotel, handles the transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, and stays with you from the moment you enter the water until you surface. You learn how to use the scuba equipment as part of the experience itself—there's no classroom component or certification exam, just the chance to get comfortable with the gear and the underwater environment at your own pace.

The two dive sites let you see different parts of the reef without the pressure of a formal course. Your instructor watches for how you're handling the equipment and adjusts the depth and duration to match what feels right for you. Lunch and bottled water are included, so you're not hunting for food between dives or paying extra for drinks.

The marine tax is collected in cash on the day and is separate from the booking price. Bring enough Egyptian pounds to cover it, and confirm the amount with the operator when you book.
