We collect you from your hotel, each morning, and you typically build toward about 18 metres when the instructor is happy. 📋 Key Details Duration: 3 days, with hotel collection each day Group Size: 1 to 15 Meeting Point: Hotel collection in the Hurghada area Qualification: PADI Open Water Diver 🤿 What to Expect Hurghada's marina sends you out onto open Red Sea water where confined skills give way to reef dives as your buoyancy and air awareness settle. Your instructor stays beside you from the first shallow session through to open-water descents among coral and tropical fish. Theory fits around the boat days, whether on deck, at the centre or back at the hotel. Each dive adds a little depth and confidence, building toward around 18 metres on Hurghada reefs by the time the instructor signs off your final sessions. 📍 Location Hurghada sits on Egypt's Red Sea coast, with a marina belt in front of the hotel strip and reefs a short run offshore. Training uses that open body of water rather than an inland pool week, so you practise in the same sea you will later dive as a qualified Open Water diver. Boat dives run from the local marina out to nearby reefs, with sites chosen on the morning according to wind and swell. The instructor issues tanks, weights and the scuba unit for water sessions, and you should ask what wetsuit is provided when you confirm your place. Collection covers the usual Hurghada resort belt. Distances along the strip mean pickup windows can stretch, so be ready early at reception and eat breakfast before the van arrives. Tell us your hotel when you confirm so pickup runs smoothly. Traffic along the strip can slow the transfer, and Arriving late at reception cuts into time in the water. After the final dive you transfer back to your hotel; keep the afternoon loosely free in case a weather hold has pushed a session later. ✅ Prerequisites No previous scuba qualification is required. You should be happy in the sea, able to follow an instructor, and ready to spend three days around boats and briefings. Say if you are a weak swimmer so they can use extra flotation in confined water. Mention ages when you confirm your place so the instructor can confirm who can join once they have seen swimming ability. Infants are not a fit for this course. Wear swimwear under a cover-up, bring a towel and sun protection, and eat… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel collection in the Hurghada area each course day Three-day Open Water diver course with an instructor Confined-water skill sessions and boat dives, sea state allowing Scuba kit for the water sessions as issued by the crew ### 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 Lunch, snacks and drinks beyond any water issued on the boat Photos, personal expenses and tips ### Kit list Swimwear, towel, dry clothes and a rash vest or t-shirt Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and a dry bag Hotel name for collection ## FAQs ### Do I need to have dived before? No previous scuba qualification is required. This is the first Open Water course in Hurghada, with theory, shallow confined-water work and open-water dives. It is not a single try-dive day. You should be happy in the sea and able to follow an instructor. Say if you have never used a mask so they can spend extra time on breathing at the surface before you go on a regulator. ### Is hotel pickup included? Yes. Collection from hotels in the Hurghada 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 traffic along the strip can slow the van. The three days start at pickup. Arriving late at reception cuts into time in the water, so treat the morning window as the start of training rather than an optional extra. ### How long does the course last? The course runs over three days, with theory, confined-water training and open-water dives. Open-water sessions are boat dives, typically to about 18 metres once you are ready, not a shore-only week. Keep all three days free. Study can sit on the boat, at the centre or from the hotel, depending on how the instructor runs your group. Follow the window you are given rather than arriving on your own clock. ### Where do we dive? Training uses Hurghada reefs on daily boat dives once you leave confined water. The instructor stays with you. Exact sites change with the sea and with how quickly the group is ready to leave the shallows. You will be on scuba, with briefings before each water session. Stay with the instructor and keep the boat in sight when you surface. ### Is scuba kit included? The instructor usually issues tanks, weights and the scuba unit for the water sessions. Bring your own mask if you prefer the fit. Ask when you confirm your place what is issued so you are not guessing about wetsuit thickness or whether you need to hire extras for the three days. ### Is there a minimum age? The instructor will confirm who can join once they have seen ages and swimming ability. Infants are not a fit for a three-day scuba course. Mention ages when you confirm your place. Junior divers may need a different plan than adults. Do not assume a child can complete the same open-water dives without the team agreeing first. ### Is lunch included? 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 all three days simple so you are not hungry between sessions. ### Can I do the theory from the hotel? Yes. Theory can sit on the boat, at the dive centre or from your hotel, depending on how the instructor runs your group. You still need to be present for the confined-water sessions and the boat dives. Keep all three days free. Hotel study does not replace time in the water, so treat the pickup window as the start of each training day. ### What should I bring? Bring swimwear, a towel, dry clothes, sunscreen and a long sleeve for the boat deck. Soft shoes that can get wet help on the swim ladder. A dry bag keeps phones off wet decks. Leave valuables in the hotel safe. Eat breakfast before the van arrives, and keep all three full days free. If you wear contact lenses, say so; many people prefer a mask they already know. ### What if the sea is rough? The course needs a workable sea. If the outer reefs are too rough, the instructor may keep you in confined water, shift a dive later, or hold a session. You will be told as early as they can once morning conditions are clear. Have a loose plan around the three days so a weather hold does not wreck the whole course. Three days on the water still needs clear windows, even in Hurghada. ## 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/2026/08/0c8f2167-9573-4ff3-978a-1701a40e764f-1.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.
