Pool skills, theory modules and open-water dives build toward a recognised certification with instructor support throughout. Allow 3 days for door-to-door travel and the session, with a crew who know local conditions. 📋 Key Details Duration: 3 days including collection Group Size: 1 to 15 Minimum Age: 6 years Meeting Point: Hotel collection in the Marsa Alam area 🎓 What to Expect Sessions move between theory, shallow practice and qualifying dives with instructors working in small ratios. You practise buoyancy, mask clearing and emergency drills before Open Water qualifying dives, with time to repeat anything you want to nail down. Instructors work in small groups so you get time to practise skills in the pool or bay before qualifying dives in open water. Pool or bay sessions come first; qualifying dives follow once skills feel solid in controlled water. Weather can shift open-water schedules, and instructors use pool or theory time rather than rushing a qualifying dive in poor visibility. You return to your hotel or meeting point after the last active section, with transfer time built into the overall length. 📍 Location Marsa Alam stretches along Egypt's quieter southern Red Sea, with newer resorts set back from long sandy bays. Desert bases for quad and horse trips sit inland beyond the coastal road. Included collection reaches standard Marsa Alam resort hotels, with pickup times confirmed closer to the day. Leave a little buffer at reception in case the van is delayed along the strip, and share your hotel name and phone number when you book. ✅ Prerequisites You should be fit enough for pool and open-water training days. Classroom, pool and open-water modules spread across the course days, with theory and skills practised before qualifying dives. Swim kit, towel and homework windows between course days are part of training. Say medical conditions when you book so the dive centre can advise on forms and doctor sign-off if needed. ⭐ Why Choose Us Course kit and tanks are issued for training dives, so you are not hiring gear separately in town. Instructors can slow the pace if you need extra repetition on buoyancy, mask clearing or emergency drills. Poor visibility may move qualifying dives to another slot rather than forcing an unsafe descent. You leave with a clear record of skills practised and dives logged toward your certification goal. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel collection and return in the Marsa Alam area Guided padi course session with crew and equipment Safety briefing and activity kit for the session ### What’s not included Making your own way if you skip hotel collection Transport to and from the meeting point if you do not use the included pickup Photos, personal expenses and tips Extras beyond what is listed as included ### Kit list Comfortable clothes, sun protection and a towel Closed shoes where the activity needs them Hotel name for collection if pickup is included ## FAQs ### Is hotel pickup included? Yes. Collection from hotels in the Marsa Alam area is part of this experience. Give your hotel name when you book so the driver can find the right gate, and be ready in the window you are given. Build the whole 24-hour shape into your day rather than planning something tight immediately afterwards. Traffic along resort roads can slow the van. ### Do I need previous experience? This is a certification course spread across multiple days with theory, confined water skills and open-water dives with instructors. You should be comfortable swimming and in reasonable health for dive training. Say if you are nervous or a weak swimmer so the crew can pace the session and offer flotation where it helps. ### Are refreshments included? Light refreshments may be offered depending on the format. Carry water and a snack if you eat breakfast early. Soft drinks beyond what is served may be extra. Bring cash if you want extras on the boat or at the base. ### What should I wear and bring? Practical kit is swimwear or comfortable clothes for the activity, sun protection and a towel. Closed shoes help on boats and in the desert. A dry bag keeps phones off wet decks. Reef-safe sunscreen matters on long days in the Marsa Alam sun. ### Is equipment provided? Course kit and tanks are provided for training dives. Classroom materials are covered in the course format. Fit helmets, life jackets or harnesses before you start so you are not adjusting them mid-session. Ask when you book if you need a slower pace or extra briefing time on the day. ### What is the group size? This runs for groups from 1 to 15 people. Smaller groups mean more attention from your guide on the water or in the dunes. Private formats keep the whole boat or vehicle to your party. Follow the guide's spacing in the water and on trails. ### How long will I be out? About 24 hours including collection and the main activity time. Keep the whole window free rather than squeezing other plans around it. A late appearance at reception or the meeting point shortens time on the activity because the session leaves with the group. ### Can children join? Families are welcome when children are comfortable with the activity format. Infant seats may be available on transfers where listed. Say ages when you book so the crew can plan seating, kit sizes and pacing on the water or in the desert. ### What if the weather is poor? This activity needs workable conditions. If wind, sea state or sand storms rule it out, the crew may reschedule or switch sites. You will be told as early as they can once morning conditions are clear. Have a loose plan for the rest of the day. ### How do I confirm pickup or meeting details? Give your hotel name and a reachable phone number when you book. We'll confirm the pickup window or meeting pin closer to the day. Notes are the place for dietary needs, ages, or a later pickup if you have an evening plan after the session. ## 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/2026/09/8120b9e7-3473-4e21-a1ed-7f584bcfb542.jpg - **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.
