All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
Take your diving further over two days in Marsa Alam, with adventure dives on local reefs and, sea state allowing, wreck or current sites. You need an existing Open Water card, and we collect you from your hotel each morning.
Red Sea reefs off Marsa Alam unfold beneath you on adventure dives where deeper buoyancy, navigation and underwater awareness are woven into real coral routes. Your instructor leads each descent and stays with the group through every session on the water.
Wreck hulls, current channels and deeper coral walls may feature on day two if conditions allow. Debriefs on deck between dives give you a chance to talk through what you felt before gearing up for the next descent.
Marsa Alam sits on Egypt's southern Red Sea coast, with reefs a short run from the hotel strip. Training uses that water rather than a pool week inland. You leave the resort belt for sites chosen on the morning, then return to the same hotel after each day's dives.
Collection covers the usual Marsa Alam resort belt. Distances between hotels mean pickup windows can run long, so be ready early and eat breakfast before you leave reception. Once you are back on the coast, hotel beaches sit close to most properties, which is why many guests keep the evenings quiet after two full days in the sun and on the water.
You should already hold Open Water or an equivalent entry-level scuba qualification and bring the card. You need to be happy on a boat for two full days and in the sea beside it. Say if you have not dived for a long time so the instructor can pace the first adventure dive. If your card is from another agency, say so when you confirm your place so the instructor can check it is accepted.
Wear swimwear under a cover-up, bring a towel and sun protection, and eat breakfast before pickup. Keep both days free. This is not a course for people who have never used a regulator. Mention ages when you confirm your place; do not assume a child who has just finished an entry-level course is automatically ready for the deeper adventure dives on this course.
Hotel collection and a two-day Advanced Open Water format keep the course simple from a Marsa Alam hotel. Instructors stay with you on the adventure dives rather than sending you out on a recreational boat without teaching time. Scuba kit for the water sessions is issued by the crew, and you can ask when you confirm your place what is on the boat.
Skills such as deeper diving and navigation are worked into the sites rather than a classroom-only block. If the outer reefs are too rough, the instructor may keep you on closer sites, shift the order of the adventure dives, or hold a session once morning conditions are clear. Lunch is not included, so eat at the hotel before pickup and carry water for the surface intervals.
We'll collect you from your Marsa Alam hotel. Be ready in the pickup window with your qualification card, swim kit and a towel. On the boat or at the centre you hear the first briefing: how the two days will run, what the first adventure dive is for, and how the instructor wants you to signal in the water.
The first adventure dives go in with the instructor on Marsa Alam reefs. Skills such as buoyancy and awareness at a greater depth than Open Water sit inside the dive. Stay with the group and watch your air. Surface intervals are for rest, water and the next plan.
Day two continues the adventure-dive set, which may include navigation and, sea state allowing, wreck or current sites off Marsa Alam. After the last dive you transfer back to your hotel. Keep the afternoon loosely free in case a weather hold has pushed a session later.
Yes. This is Advanced Open Water, so you should already hold Open Water or an equivalent entry-level scuba qualification and bring the card. It is not a first-time course and it is not a try-dive day.
If you have never dived, use the Open Water listing for Marsa Alam instead. If your card is from another agency, say so when you confirm your place so the instructor can check it is accepted.
Yes. Collection from hotels in the Marsa Alam area is part of this course. Give your hotel name when you book so the driver can find the right gate, and be ready in the window you are given because the coast road between resorts can be slow.
The two days start at pickup, not when you reach the first reef. Arriving late at reception cuts into time in the water, so treat the morning window as the start of training.
The course lasts two days. That usually means briefings and adventure dives spread across two mornings and afternoons, with hotel collection each day, rather than a single long boat outing.
Keep both days free. Do not plan a second trip on the same dates. Exact dive times depend on sea state and how the group is going, so follow the window you are given rather than arriving on your own clock.
Adventure dives are the core of the two days. You may use wreck, current and photography-style dives, alongside deeper water and navigation, depending on what the instructor sets.
Exact sites change with the sea. Treat wrecks and drift as possible Marsa Alam options, not a fixed two-day script of named wrecks you must hit. Stay with the instructor and watch your air.
On a course of this type the instructor usually issues tanks, weights and the scuba unit for the water sessions. Bring your own mask if you prefer the fit, and say if you have a computer you want to use.
Ask when you confirm your place what is issued on the boat so you are not guessing about wetsuit thickness or whether you need to hire extras.
The instructor will confirm who can join once they have seen ages and the existing qualification card. Standard Advanced Open Water entry is older than a first Open Water course.
Mention ages when you confirm your place. Do not assume a child who has just finished Open Water is automatically ready for the deeper adventure dives on this course.
Lunch is not included. Eat at the hotel before pickup, and carry water and a small snack for the wait and the surface intervals. Do not rely on a sit-down meal between dives unless the crew tell you otherwise on the day.
Soft drinks and extras on the boat, if they are sold, sit outside the course price. Keep both days simple so you are not hungry on a long surface interval.
This is the Marsa Alam Advanced course. The Sharm El Sheikh Advanced product is a different hub and a different from-price. They are not interchangeable pickups.
Choose this trip if you are staying in Marsa Alam. Use the Sharm listing if that is where your hotel is. The Open Water course from Marsa Alam is the three-day first qualification, not this two-day follow-on.
Bring your existing qualification card, swimwear, a towel, dry clothes, sunscreen and a logbook if you have one. A rash vest or t-shirt helps on the boat deck between dives. Soft shoes that can get wet help on the swim ladder.
Leave valuables in the hotel safe. A dry bag keeps the card and phone off wet decks. Eat breakfast before the van arrives, and keep both full days free.
The course needs a workable sea. If the outer reefs are too rough, the instructor may keep you on closer sites, shift the order of the adventure dives, or hold a session. You will be told as early as they can once morning conditions are clear.
Have a loose plan around the two days so a weather hold does not wreck the whole course. Two days on the water still needs clear windows, even in Marsa Alam.
