Those who do not hold a diving qualification or would like to develop to the next level can enjoy our dive programs.
Discover Scuba Diving
Spend half a day enjoying your first taste of the underwater world. You will receive instruction on land in the basic skills and theory before being accompanied around a local dive site. It is totally controlled with groups of just one or two with each instructor. Bookable locally and hand holding optional!
Red Sea Referral
The Red Sea Referral is perfect for those wishing to get part of the Open Water Course finished before coming away on their holiday or those windsurfers whom are yet to qualify as divers. The theory section and confined water sessions are finished before arriving in resort and the remaining four dives are completed amongst the wonderful sea life and warm waters of the red sea. See the Red Sea Referral section for more details.
This option is designed for those wishing to combine learning to dive with windsurfing or those wishing to get the learning modules of the PADI course out of the way before embarking on holiday.
The program splits into two parts. The first part, involving the theory and confined water sections is completed in the UK with one of our training partners. The final part to gain qualification is the four open water dives, where everything is put into practice on arrival in Dahab. We aim to be as flexible as possible and can tailor the course to suit your needs.

Open Water
Spend 3-5 days training for your basic PADI diving licence. Once qualified you will have the freedom to dive with a buddy to a depth of 18m anywhere in the world. The course involves theory training (including some self study), sessions in confined water learning the important skills required and 4 full open water dives discovering the local sites.
Advanced Open Water
Having the chance to gain more experience and improve your diving skills means the advanced course has something for everyone. The course involves 5 adventure dives including a deep dive and underwater navigation. As an 'Advanced Diver' you will be qualified to dive to 30m, therefore increasing your diving options and extending the range of dives within your reach. You are eligible for this course after having completed the Open Water.
Rescue Diver
A challenging and rewarding course learning rescue techniques to improve your own and others safety whilst diving.
Divemaster
The first step towards a career in recreational diving. The course gives you a chance to increase your depth of knowledge and create a better understanding of diving.
Important Note: As from 1st January 2006 new regulations from PADI require that we issue to each diver a complete PADI training manual relevant to each PADI course they undertake. The cost of the manual (which is not included in our holiday prices) is £30. This will be charged for locally in resort on presentation of the manual.
