Red Sea Diving for Certified Divers with Local Guide

Pool training, then a guided dive on the Red Sea to 12 meters among coral reefs and wrecks

A guided dive on Red Sea coral reefs for certified divers, led by an experienced instructor who acts as guide and companion through the local underwater sites. The dive includes a pool training session before heading to open water. You descend to a maximum of 12 meters. An English or Russian-speaking guide leads the experience, and the minimum age is 12.

The experience

The dive starts on land with registration and a training video, then moves to the pool for a practice session before you head to the Red Sea itself. Having a certificate and experience is not quite the same as knowing where the best reefs are or what to do if the current shifts or your confidence wavers in unfamiliar water. A local guide fills that gap, not by teaching you to dive again, but by acting as a companion who knows the secrets of these particular sites and can help you navigate them safely.

The open water dive takes you down to a maximum depth of 12 meters among coral reefs, wrecks and other underwater formations the guide knows well. The whole experience runs about 2 hours from start to finish. Public transportation options are available nearby if you don't have your own transport, and the activity suits all physical fitness levels.
