🗺️ What to Expect

Initial briefing sets out the structure of the course, reviewing your current certification and outlining the training dives ahead. Once prepared, you’ll head out by boat to selected dive sites where each session is focused on a specific skill area. Equipment checks and safety guidance are completed before every dive so you can concentrate fully on the water.

Across the two days, training moves through a series of open water dives that gradually introduce more advanced techniques. Navigation exercises, buoyancy control work, and deeper dives form part of the progression, depending on conditions and your comfort level. Between sessions, time is spent onboard reviewing performance, resting, and preparing for the next dive, with meals and refreshments provided throughout the day.

📍 Location

Training takes place in Hurghada, where calm sea conditions and accessible reef systems provide a practical environment for advanced dive training. The Red Sea is widely used for PADI courses due to its clear visibility and varied underwater terrain.

Boat departures are arranged from the local marina, giving direct access to multiple training sites within short sailing distance. This allows more time in the water and less time travelling between locations, which is ideal for skill development over consecutive dive days.
