Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need to be an expert swimmer to take a PADI Open Water course?
You do not need to be an Olympic athlete, but you must possess basic water comfort. PADI standards require you to complete a continuous 200-meter swim (without fins or swim aids) and a 10-minute survival float/tread water to demonstrate basic safety capacity.
What is the visibility and water temperature like in Hurghada?
The Red Sea is famous for its world-class clarity, with horizontal visibility regularly ranging between 20 to 30 meters. Water temperatures fluctuate from a refreshing 21°C–23°C in the winter months (requiring a 5mm–7mm wetsuit) to a tropical 28°C–30°C in the peak of summer (perfect for a shorty or 3mm wetsuit).
Can I complete my dive theory before I arrive in Egypt?
Yes! We highly recommend utilizing PADI eLearning online before your holiday. By completing all your reading, quizzes, and exams from the comfort of your home, you save valuable vacation hours and can step straight onto our dive boats to start your in-water training immediately on day one.
