Scuba Diving in Sharm el Sheikh: Red Sea IntroductionAn introduction dive in Sharm el Sheikh's Red Sea lets you scuba dive without certification, guided by a PADI instructor who supplies all equipment and teaches you in the water.

You'll swim through fish populations and see the underwater formations that make this dive popular—no classroom, no weeks of training, just the experience itself under professional supervision.Is it for me?Book this if you want to try scuba without the time commitment of certification—the guide handles the instruction in the water, so you spend the hour actually diving instead of preparing to dive.
