What Your Day Looks Like
There is a distinct magic to waking up on the coast of the Red Sea. The morning sun warms the desert air, a light breeze ripples across the turquoise water, and beneath that sparkling surface lies one of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems in the world.
If you are planning an unforgettable holiday to Egypt, booking a daily scuba diving experience in Hurghada is the single best way to explore this underwater paradise. With vibrant, towering coral gardens, dramatic deep walls, historic shipwrecks, and resident pods of wild dolphins, the Red Sea offers a world-class playground for ocean lovers.
At ´Diving Around Hurghada´, we believe that a phenomenal dive holiday shouldn’t require stressful logistics. With over 20 years of experience operating as a premier diving center hurghada, we handle every single detail of your day from the moment you wake up to the moment you return to your resort.

When you step aboard with us, your only job is to relax, breathe, and focus entirely on the red sea diving adventure awaiting you. Here is an insider’s look at what the perfect daily diving schedule looks like with our team.
The Daily Schedule: A Flawless Day on the Red Sea
Our boat trips are meticulously structured to maximize your time in the water while providing a relaxing, luxurious atmosphere on deck. We don’t rush our briefings, and we never crowd our groups. Here is the hour-by-hour breakdown of your experience:
🌅 07:30 – 08:30 | Morning Pick-up & Seamless Transfer
Your day begins with a comfortable, air-conditioned transfer vehicle arriving right at your hotel lobby door. Our professional drivers handle morning departures across Hurghada seamlessly, ensuring you arrive at the marina completely relaxed and ready for the day ahead.
⚓ 09:00 | Welcome Aboard & Morning Briefing
Arriving at the pristine marina, you will step onto our custom-built, spacious daily diving boat. The crew will welcome you warmly, guide you to the equipment deck to set up your gear, and show you to our comfortable shaded saloon or expansive sun deck. As the captain starts the engines and clears the harbor, you can enjoy a complimentary hot cup of tea or fresh coffee. Your expert dive guide will conduct a comprehensive safety and logistics briefing, detailing the weather conditions, boat rules, and the general plan for the day.
🐠 10:00 | Dive One: Exploring Pristine Ecosystems
By mid-morning, our vessel arrives at our first carefully selected dive site. Depending on the wind, visibility, and group experience levels, we frequent legendary locations such as “The Aquarium” at Abu Ramada—famed for its staggering density of reef fish—or the breathtaking coral walls of the protected Giftun Island Marine Park.
Before hitting the water, your guide will deliver a highly detailed site briefing using visual maps, outlining the reef typography, current directions, and specific marine life to look out for (such as giant moray eels, blue-spotted rays, or camouflaged stonefish). You’ll gear up, perform buddy checks, and step off the dive platform into water with up to 30 meters of crystal-clear visibility.
🍽️ 12:00 | Surface Interval & Freshly Prepared Buffet Lunch
After a thrilling first dive, you’ll climb back aboard to a warm towel and an incredible aroma coming from the galley. Our onboard chefs prepare a delicious, fresh Egyptian buffet lunch featuring varieties of salads, rice, pasta, chicken, and local fish, accompanied by refreshing soft drinks and water.
Following lunch, you have a generous surface interval to off-gas safely. Relax on our cushioned sun deck, work on your holiday tan, chat with fellow divers from around the world, or look through fish identification books to identify what you just saw on your first dive.
🌊 13:30 | Dive Two: New Reef Profiles & Marine Encounters
As the boat cruises to a completely different maritime location, our team preps the tanks for round two. Your second dive introduces you to a brand-new underwater landscape—perhaps a shallow lagoon system like El Fanous or Shaab El Erg, where we frequently swim alongside resident pods of playful Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, or a dynamic reef system bustling with hawksbill sea turtles, barracudas, and schools of vibrant surgeonfish.
⛵ 16:00 – 17:00 | Return Cruise & Hotel Drop-off
With two incredible dives logged, the boat begins its relaxing journey back to the Hurghada marina. The return cruise is the perfect time to log your dives, swap photos and videos with your guides, and enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery. Upon docking, your air-conditioned transfer vehicle will be waiting to drop you safely back at your resort in time for dinner.
