Specialty training is also available for divers looking to broaden their skills, including the Enriched Air Nitrox Diver and Sidemount Diver courses. Junior Diver programmes are also available for younger participants.

For those looking to stay aboard, the centre organises liveaboard safaris to remote locations such as the Brothers Islands. These trips include shared double cabins and full board, allowing for uninterrupted diving.

Daily boat trips are also available, with speedboat options provided for those wanting to reach specific sites more quickly. Nitrox is available for use on these trips.

The Red Sea reefs around Hurghada are characterised by a high density of hard corals and soft corals. You will regularly encounter various species of butterflyfish amongst the reef structure.

Pelagic life is a significant draw for the area, with divers often spotting sharks, rays, and turtles. The presence of dolphins is also a common highlight during trips to the Dolphin Houses.

A healthy ecosystem of reef fish supports this biodiversity, with fish constantly moving across the seabed and through the coral formations.

Diving in the Hurghada region is possible year-round. You should be prepared for the possibility of drift dives, as currents can be present depending on the specific site and conditions.

Sea temperatures remain at a minimum of 20°C, making the area accessible for divers throughout the seasons.
