Three classroom sessions, two dives in open water, one instructor guiding you through the basics

A 2-day PADI Scuba Diver course in the Egyptian Red Sea teaches you the fundamentals of scuba diving under the supervision of a certified PADI instructor. You'll complete three confined water sessions and three knowledge development sessions, then make two open water dives at a maximum depth of 12 meters. All diving equipment, a buffet lunch, beverages and hotel pickup are included; children from age 10 are welcome.

The Experience

The course spreads across two days so you can learn without rushing through the basics. You'll start with confined water sessions where an instructor walks you through dive equipment, breathing techniques and safety procedures before you ever enter the open sea. The three knowledge development sessions cover the theory you need—buoyancy control, equalizing pressure, reading gauges—so when you descend into the Red Sea, you're not learning it for the first time.

Your two open water dives happen in the Egyptian Red Sea itself, aboard one of Pyramids Diving Center's own boats. You stay within 12 meters depth while your instructor stays with you the entire time, watching your technique and answering questions as they come up. The water is clear enough to see the reef structure and the fish moving through it, and you're moving through it yourself instead of watching from above. A buffet lunch and soft drinks are provided between dives and after you surface.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't arrange transport to the dive center. Bring a current valid passport, a towel, and any medications you take regularly. All diving equipment—wetsuit, tank, regulator, fins, mask—is provided. If you want underwater photos or a DVD of your dives, those are available to purchase separately. After you finish, you'll receive your PADI e-certificate; a printed manual is also available if you want it.
