Guided Red Sea Diving
Two guided boat dives on Sinai's benchmark reefs with a vetted PADI centre — small groups, unhurried surface intervals and gear that fits.
Overview
The northern Red Sea is where much of the world learned to dive, and the reasons hold: water that never turns truly cold, visibility that starts at twenty metres, and reef walls that begin at snorkel depth and fall into blue. This experience is a single, properly run boat day — two guided dives at sites chosen on the morning's conditions from the Ras Mohammed and local Sharm reef groups, with a licensed PADI centre we work with continuously rather than whoever quoted lowest. Groups are capped small, surface intervals are genuinely restful, and the boat carries snorkelling guests comfortably, so mixed parties travel well. Certified divers slot straight in; the same day converts into a Discover Scuba introduction for beginners with one-to-one instruction.

Frequently asked questions
I've never dived — can I still join?
Yes, as a Discover Scuba Diving introduction: theory and confined-water practice in the morning, then a shallow guided reef dive with an instructor holding a one-to-one ratio. No certification needed, and it counts toward an Open Water course if the bug bites.
How does this fit into a Nile itinerary?
Cleanly — Luxor to Sharm El Sheikh is a short flight. The only rule is the no-fly interval after diving, so we schedule dive days at least a full day before any flight.
