Your first dive
Never dived before? That is exactly who we are here for.
Almost everyone who dives with us for the first time is a little nervous, and that is completely normal. Your instructor has guided hundreds of first dives and knows the feeling well. There is no exam, no pressure and no fixed group tempo. Just you and one instructor who stays right at your side the whole time.
We start on land with a calm, simple briefing: how to breathe through the regulator, how to gently equalize your ears, and three easy hand signals. Then we practice in shallow water where you can stand up any time, until breathing underwater feels natural. Only when you are relaxed and ready do we drift out over the reef together.
You are never alone and never rushed. If you want to stop, we stop. If you love it and want to go a little deeper, we can. Most first-timers surface with a huge grin and book a second dive the same day.
What your instructor makes sure of
- One instructor for you alone, or for you and your partner

- Easy practice in shallow water until you feel ready
- A hand to hold, from your first breath to your last

“I was terrified of the water. My instructor never let go of my hand and by the end I did not want to come up. Life changing.”

Good to know
First-timers ask us
Can I try scuba diving in Hurghada without a certification?
Yes. An introductory dive needs no certification and no experience. After a 30-minute briefing and shallow-water practice, you dive with a private PADI instructor to a maximum of 6-8 metres. It is the easiest way to start diving in Hurghada.
I am scared / I cannot swim well. Can I still try?
Being comfortable in water is enough. You do not need to be a strong swimmer. Your instructor stays within arm's reach the entire dive, and you can hold their hand from start to finish. You can stop at any moment.
What is the minimum age for a first dive?
Children can try diving from 10 years old, always one-on-one with an instructor. Younger kids can snorkel from the boat with the family.
How much does a first-time dive in Hurghada cost?
The full-day experience costs €35 per person including the boat trip (8 AM - 4 PM), training, one guided dive, all equipment, lunch and hotel transfers. A second dive on the same day is €25.
Ready to dive today?
The water is 28°C, the visibility is over 30 m, and a boat with your name on it leaves tomorrow at 8 AM.
