-
Start
Hotel pickup
We collect you from your Hurghada hotel; the instructor meets you on board.
-
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 on deck, then fitted to you.
-
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.
-
The dive
Your first look at the reef
A slow, guided dive at shallow depth, at your pace, never beyond the programme's limits.
-
After
Back on deck
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 — 07:00 hotel pickup, back at your hotel around 13:30 — and the plan shifts if wind or sea conditions say so. Your instructor sets the final pace.
How deep will you dive?
Confined/shallow water and, if the specific programme includes it, closely supervised introductory open water; no certification depth.
