Want To Try Diving?

As with most major decisions, people often like to try something before diving in (excuse the pun). Even if you aren’t a certified diver, you can still enjoy the wonders of the Red Sea under the close supervision of a diving instructor. The DSD (Discover Scuba Diving) will show you some of the basic scuba skills and let you spend time on a shallow dive under the watchful eye of a diving instructor. No previous experience is required and providing you have no medical conditions, there is nothing to stop you experiencing the wonderful underwater world in the Red Sea.

Getting Certified

If you want to dive without the supervision of an instructor, you’ll need to be certified. Throughout the world, there are several different organizations who can certify you but the most popular is PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors). We can also offer you certification with BSAC (British Sub Aqua Club) at some of the centres in Egypt.

Of course we understand that you have limited time available to you on holiday and there are better things to do than sit in a classroom learning decompression theory but there is a simple solution. Did you know, you can complete part of your course in Britain before you leave? That means once you get to Egypt, you’ll spend less time on your course, leaving more time to enjoy your newly acquired diving skills amongst the abundant coral and marine life of the Red Sea. Ask about the Open Water Fasttrack or Open Water Referral courses.

If you want to learn to dive send us an email using the 'Contact Us' page and we’ll get back to you or alternatively call on 0208 816 8789 and ask to speak to Rob who is a PADI Divemaster and will be happy to discuss your options with you.

Continue Your Training

Once you are certified as a scuba diver, there is still plenty to learn. Usually, your initial course (eg PADI Open Water or BSAC Ocean Diver) will qualify you to dive to a depth of around 18m and it is very important for insurance liability reasons that you don’t go beyond this depth. However, with just a little more time and effort, you can soon be certified to dive down to 30m*.

You may also want to take speciality courses to improve your navigation or buoyancy skills or perhaps even take the excellent PADI Rescue Diver course which not only teaches you life saving skills, it also makes you a better diver and is good fun at the same time.

If you are interested in any of the courses mentioned or simply want some advice, just give us a call or fill in the enquiry form and we’ll get back to you at the earliest opportunity.

*In Egypt, there is a maximum depth limit of 30m enforced by all dive centres. You will not be permitted to dive beyond this depth even if certified to do so unless you are participating in technical diving.

Train for a career

If you have always dreamed of teaching people to scuba dive in an exotic destination then we can help get you on the road to becoming a Diving Instructor. You may want to escape your 9 to 5 job or are just looking for a part-time role doing something you love.

We are able to offer an excellent 5* Career Development Centre which is self-contained, fully equipped and dedicated to diver training.

Whatever your current certification, we’ll be able to help you so either give us a call on 0208 816 8789 or send us an email via the 'Contact Us' page and we’ll get back to you.
