Before you board

It is a trip where you sleep, eat and dive from the same boat for a week. It lets you reach reefs far from the coast, such as Brothers or Daedalus, that cannot be dived on day trips, and do between 18 and 20 dives.

Our departures leave from the city of Hurghada, in Egypt, and some routes from Marsa Alam.

On the northern routes (North & Brothers, North & Wrecks, Famous 5 and Deep North) the minimum certification is Open Water: your certification determines which dives and maximum depth you can do, and to complete the full programme you need an Advanced certification or equivalent. On the southern routes (BDE, Dolphins & Sharks and Deep South) the minimum certification is Advanced. If you don’t have it yet, you can get your Advanced on board during the week.

Our departures start from €1,150 per person in a double cabin. Ask us about special prices for groups and dive centres.

7 nights in a double cabin, full board, 18–20 dives, Nitrox for certified divers (on departures where this is stated on the page, Nitrox is paid on board together with the fees), 12-litre tank, weight belt and weights, and airport–boat–airport transfers. Not included: flights, visa, equipment rental, insurance, and fees and tips. Marine park fees and tips, equipment rental and courses are paid on board, in cash and in euros.

Yes, you need a visa to enter Egypt. You can buy it at the arrival airport, at the counters before passport control. It costs 30 US dollars (USD) per person and allows a stay of up to 30 days. We recommend bringing the exact amount in cash, as change is not always available. Remember that your passport must be valid for at least 6 months.

Yes. Dive insurance is mandatory to board, and we will ask you for proof before departure. We also strongly recommend travelling with travel insurance, which you can get with a discount from IATI Seguros.
