After a good breakfast, your driver will be waiting for you in front of the hotel between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m., just in time to enjoy the golden morning light and the gentle warmth of the desert. In about 20 minutes, you will arrive at the marina where the dive center is located.
Your instructor will greet you with a smile and show you all the diving equipment (fins, mask, wetsuit, buoyancy compensator, and regulator): everything must be perfectly adjusted to ensure your comfort and safety. If you already have your own equipment, feel free to bring it!
Once everything is tested, the crew takes care of the equipment and transports it on board the boat.
Around 9 a.m., the mooring lines are cast off: heading for one of the diving sites of Sharm el-Sheikh.
During the crossing, your instructor shows you how to assemble your equipment, explains the day's exercises and shares the associated theoretical concepts.
The progression is gentle and tailored: each new skill is approached at your own pace, then reinforced with each dive.
The dive sites are carefully chosen according to your skill level, your preferences, and the weather conditions. Each more spectacular than the last, they promise a magical immersion among corals and multicolored fish.
