This full-day introductory scuba session takes you out by boat from Hurghada to Red Sea coral reefs, with professional instructors guiding every step. No prior diving experience is needed, and all diving equipment is provided so you can focus on learning the basics and enjoying the marine life. 📋 Key Details Duration: Approximately 8 hours including hotel transfers Group Size: Up to 15 participants Minimum Age: 6 Difficulty: Moderate beginner level Availability: Daily, with pickup around 08:00 🤿 What to Expect Morning hotel pickup brings you to the marina for check-in, kit fitting and a clear safety briefing before the boat leaves the harbour. Instructors walk through basic skills on the surface and in shallow water so first-timers understand breathing, equalising and hand signals before the first reef entry. Your introductory dive follows among coral and tropical fish under close supervision, with buoyancy and pace kept gentle for beginners. After you exit, deck time and lunch on board give you a proper surface interval while the boat relocates to a second site for another guided dive or optional snorkelling and swimming if you prefer to stay nearer the surface. In the afternoon the boat returns to the marina and you transfer back to your hotel. The rhythm suits newcomers: unhurried guidance in the water, rest between sessions, and a full Red Sea day rather than a rushed pool-only taster. Hotels in Makadi Bay, El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh or Safaga can usually still join with a transfer surcharge paid on the day. 📍 Location Hurghada sits on Egypt's Red Sea coast and is a well-known base for boat diving and snorkelling day trips. Reefs close to the marina offer colourful hard and soft coral with plenty of fish life in relatively sheltered water, which suits an introductory scuba format. Most of the day is spent offshore on a dive boat with sun deck space between dives. Hotel pickup covers Hurghada itself, while nearby resort strips remain reachable when transfer surcharges apply, so you still reach the same marina departure without self-driving. ✅ Prerequisites No previous diving experience or certification is required. You should be comfortable in the water and able to follow instructor instructions in English or as briefed on the day. Children from age 6 may join when the booking and on-the-day checks allow. Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, and cash for any transfer surcharges outside free Hurghada p… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel pickup and drop-off within Hurghada Full-day dive boat trip on the Red Sea Professional instructor supervision for introductory scuba All diving equipment Safety briefing before diving Opportunity for a second guided dive or snorkelling time Lunch on board ### What’s not included Flights and travel to your holiday destination Transport to and from the meeting point if you arrange your own arrival instead of hotel pickup Transfer surcharges for hotels outside free Hurghada pickup (Makadi Bay, El Gouna and Sahl Hasheesh €5 per person; Safaga €10 per person) Personal expenses and gratuities Photos or underwater camera hire Items of a personal nature (towel, sunscreen, sunglasses) ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Do I need any diving experience for this intro trip? No previous scuba experience is required. The format is designed for first-timers who want to try diving under instructor supervision rather than complete a full certification course. You will receive a safety briefing before entering the water, and instructors stay with you during the introductory dive so you can practise basic skills at a steady pace. ### What time does the day start and finish? Pickup is typically around 08:00 from hotels in Hurghada, with the full experience lasting about eight hours including transfers. Exact pickup times can vary slightly by hotel location. Return to your hotel is usually in the late afternoon after the boat is back at the marina. Keep the whole day free so you are not rushed between the two reef stops and lunch on board. ### Is hotel pickup included? Yes. Free hotel pickup and drop-off are included for hotels in Hurghada. Pickup is arranged from your hotel entrance or a nearby meeting point confirmed after booking. Hotels in Makadi Bay, El Gouna and Sahl Hasheesh usually attract a €5 per person surcharge, and Safaga around €10 per person. These surcharges are typically paid in cash on the day. ### What diving equipment is provided? All diving equipment needed for the introductory scuba sessions is included, so you do not need to bring your own kit. Instructors help you fit and check gear before you enter the water. You should still bring swimwear and a towel for changing and drying off between dives. A waterproof camera is optional if you want your own photos. ### How many dives will I do? The plan includes an introductory guided dive at the first reef, then time for a second guided dive or snorkelling and swimming at another site after lunch. Exact underwater time depends on conditions, group pace and comfort levels. If you prefer to stay on the surface for the second stop, snorkelling and swimming are a normal alternative while others continue diving. ### What is the minimum age? The minimum age listed for this activity is 6. Younger children may only join when the booking rules and the instructor's on-the-day assessment allow it. If you are travelling with children, share ages when you book so the team can advise whether this intro format is suitable for your party. ### What should I bring with me? Pack swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses or a hat, and any personal medication you may need. A light cover-up is useful on deck between dives. Bring some cash for transfer surcharges outside free Hurghada pickup and for small personal purchases. Leave valuables you do not need at the hotel when possible. ### Is lunch included on the boat? Yes, lunch on board is included between the reef stops. It is a practical midday meal so you can rest and rehydrate before the second water session. If you have dietary requirements, mention them when booking so the operator can note them. Soft drinks and extras beyond the included lunch are not guaranteed unless confirmed separately. ### What happens if the weather is poor? Boat diving depends on sea and weather conditions. If conditions are unsuitable for a safe departure or for beginner diving, the operator may adjust sites, delay sailing, or reschedule according to local rules. Keep contact details available on the morning of your trip so you can receive any timing updates linked to marina or sea state changes. ### Will I receive a diving certification? This is an introductory scuba experience, not a full certification course. You try diving with professional supervision and equipment provided, but you do not complete the theory and confined-water requirements of a carded qualification. If you later want a full Open Water or equivalent course, ask about certified training options separately from this taster day. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/908264f9-ecfe-47c6-8581-0a78c9c4e3ff-2-scaled.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
