How does PADI Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) run, day by day?

PADI Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) usually takes 1–2 hours from the beach, or about 8 hours by boat.

  1. Beach

    From the beach — about 1–2 hours

    Hotel pickup, then everything happens from the shore: briefing on the sand, skills in water you can stand in, and a guided dive along the reef. Back at your hotel the same morning or afternoon.

  2. Boat

    By boat — a full day, about 8 hours

    Join our daily boat: 08:00 hotel pickup, your try dive at a sheltered reef with your instructor, lunch on deck, and back at your hotel around 16:30.

  3. Briefing

    How the kit works

    Breathing from a regulator, clearing water from your mask, equalising your ears, and the hand signals you'll use — explained, then the kit fitted to you.

  4. Shallow water

    Practise until it feels easy

    In calm water you can stand up in, you try each skill with your instructor right beside you.

  5. The dive

    Your first look at the reef

    A slow, guided dive at shallow depth, at your pace, never beyond the programme's limits.

  6. After

    Talk it through

    Talk it through, log it, and ask how the dive can count towards Open Water if you carry on.

Boat days follow our daily schedule — 08:00 hotel pickup, back at your hotel around 16:30 — and the plan shifts if wind or sea conditions say so. Your instructor sets the final pace.

Mohamed E. ★★★★★
“I had an amazing diving experience in Hurghada specially with this company 🤿

A special thanks to Captain Ahmed for his professionalism, patience, excellent teaching, and incredible skills. He was very supportive and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. His way of teaching and explaining everything was excellent.

I highly recommend trying diving in Hurghada, especially with this company. If you’re thinking about trying diving for the first time, don’t hesitate — you’re in great hands!

Thank you, for an unforgettable experience! 🤿❤️”
Shaker M. ★★★★★
“Tried diving for the first time with 71 Guardians and honestly didnt expect to enjoy it this much! The guys made me feel comfortable from the start and it was such a cool experience. Already planning to come back to Hurghada in December to start my Open Water course. Looks like I found a new hobby. Special thanks to Ahmed.”
Serif N. ★★★★★
“I did my Open Water course with 71 Guardians, and it was a truly great experience, especially since I was afraid of the water! Everything was taught step by step, and I even learned frog kicks and how to achieve perfect buoyancy. My instructor was super patient and understanding throughout the whole course. I also got to see beautiful corals and colorful fish underwater. Everything went smoothly, and I had so much fun! I’ll definitely be coming back for more diving and to do my Advanced course.”
Amal O. ★★★★★
“Really enjoyed my Open Water course! I learned so much, especially how to control my buoyancy, keep a good trim and improve my air consumption. At the begining I didnt realise how much these small things matter, but now I feel way more comfortable underwater. Big thanks to Ahmed for being patient and explaining everything so well!”
Eslam O. ★★★★★
“The Deep Diver Specialty with 71 Guardians was a really valuable experience. I learned so much about deep dive planning, managing air consumption, understanding nitrogen narcosis, and staying aware of depth and time. The course helped me feel much more confident and understand the importance of proper planning and safety on deeper dives. Great instructors and a lot of useful knowledge to take with me on future dives!”
Sibel S. ★★★★★
“The Nitrox course with 71 Guardians was a fantastic learning experience! I came away with a much deeper understanding of enriched air, gas analysis, dive planning, and the science behind diving with Nitrox. What impressed me most was how much valuable knowledge was shared beyond just the basics. It really makes a difference learning from people who know their stuff and genuinely care about helping you become a better, more knowledgeable diver. Definitely worth it!”
