Book Discover Scuba Diving - €55

What to expect

Discover Scuba Diving starts with a short briefing on land covering the handful of skills you need — clearing your mask, breathing underwater and equalising your ears. Then your PADI instructor takes you into the calm, shallow water of Dahab's house reef for a real dive to a maximum of 12 metres, staying by your side the entire time. Most people are surprised how easy and natural it feels.

Who it's for

Anyone aged 10 and up in reasonable health, with no prior diving experience needed. It's a popular choice for travellers who want to see the Red Sea's coral and fish life without committing to a multi-day course, and for anyone deciding whether scuba diving is for them before booking the full Open Water Diver course.

Price and what's included

Discover Scuba Diving in Dahab costs €55 through our verified partner centres, including all equipment, instructor guidance and free hotel or camp pickup arranged by email. Reserve online for free and pay at the dive centre on the day. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your dive.

Thinking about certifying?
