Located in the Hurghada Marina, Diving Forever serves as a professional hub for divers looking to explore the diverse marine environments of the Red Sea. The centre operates with a focus on structured diving, offering both daily excursions for two dives and extended week-long diving safaris for those wanting more time on the water.
Whether you are looking to complete your first certification or are an experienced diver seeking wreck penetrations, the centre provides the necessary technical support. Their location in the heart of Hurghada makes them a convenient base for divers staying in the city or the surrounding coastal resorts.
The team consists of four instructors capable of guiding divers through various levels of training and exploration. They are proficient in German, English, Arabic, and Spanish, ensuring clear communication during briefings and underwater instruction.
As a multi-agency centre, they are affiliated with PADI, SSI, CMAS, and I.A.C. This allows them to cater to divers coming from different training backgrounds, providing a consistent standard of safety and instruction regardless of your original certification.
The training programme covers the entire spectrum of recreational diving. Beginners can start with Discover Scuba Diving or the introductory scuba courses, leading up to the Open Water Diver certification.
For those looking to advance, the centre offers specialised training including Nitrox, Deep Diver, and wreck diving. They also provide professional training pathways for those aiming to reach the Divemaster level.
Daily excursions depart from the marina for two dives per day, with lunch and drinks included on board. The centre also organises week-long diving safaris, allowing for more extensive travel to different reef systems and remote dive sites.
Nitrox is available for use on these trips, with 12-litre and 15-litre cylinder options provided to extend your bottom time.
The centre provides full equipment hire, including masks, snorkels, fins, BCDs, wetsuits, and regulators. For those who prefer to bring their own kit, they also offer specific rentals for fins and masks.
They are currently expanding their facilities with a dedicated shop for equipment sales and repairs. For night diving, they can provide the necessary torches and kit to ensure you are prepared for low-light exploration.
El Minya Wrack is a dedicated wreck site suitable for advanced divers looking to explore sunken structures. The Susana is another wreck destination that offers technical interest for those comfortable with advanced diving profiles.
Orange Bay, located on Giftun Island, provides a different experience on a shallow plateau. This area is primarily a destination for relaxation and snorkeling amidst white sand and shallow reef flats.
And some of the dive sites the centre runs.
The local reefs are characterised by a vibrant array of corals and colourful reef fish. You will find a variety of marine life inhabiting the different depths, from the shallow plateau areas to the deeper wreck sites.
In certain periods, you may encounter sharks passing through the area. The biodiversity is supported by a healthy ecosystem of corals that provide the structure for the local fish populations.
Visibility in the area typically ranges between 10 and 20 metres. The dive sites vary from shallow reef flats to deeper wreck sites, requiring different levels of buoyancy control and experience.
While the area is known for its reliable conditions, divers should always be prepared for the specific requirements of the site, particularly when visiting wrecks or participating in drift dives.
