Across three days, training combines theory, confined practice, and open water dives under close instructor supervision. Each stage is delivered at a steady pace so skills can develop gradually in real diving conditions. 📝 Key Details Duration: 3 days Location: Hurghada, Egypt Group Type: Private 🧭 Key Skills Basic scuba diving techniques and underwater breathing control Safe use of diving equipment and setup procedures Buoyancy control and underwater stability Underwater communication and hand signals Fundamental dive planning and safety awareness 🗺️ What to Expect Course introduction begins with a full briefing where your instructor explains the structure of the certification and what will be covered across the three days. Initial training typically focuses on basic scuba theory and equipment familiarisation before moving into confined water practice to build comfort and control. Progression continues with open water dives where newly learned skills are applied in real sea conditions under direct supervision. Each dive builds confidence gradually, covering core exercises such as buoyancy control, mask clearing, and underwater navigation. Between sessions, time is spent reviewing performance, resting onboard, and preparing for the next stage of training, with meals and refreshments included throughout the day. 📍 Location Training takes place in Hurghada , a well-established diving hub on the Red Sea known for its accessible reef systems and beginner-friendly conditions. The wider region also includes departures from nearby resort areas, allowing flexible pickup across popular coastal destinations. Boat sessions head out to nearby dive sites selected for calm waters and clear visibility, supporting safe learning conditions. The combination of sheltered reefs and short travel times helps maximise time spent practising underwater skills. 📋 Prerequisites No previous diving experience is required, as this course is designed for complete beginners. All essential skills are introduced step by step during the training process. Basic comfort in the water is recommended, along with the ability to follow instruction from your dive instructor.
