If you have 4 or 5 days in Dahab, why not embark on the PADI Open Water diving course, the most popular diving course in the world. Successful completion leads to entry-level certification, and the exotic world of scuba diving. Where better to learn how to dive, than in the crystal clear, warm blue waters of Dahab, renowned for its extremely diverse marine ecosystem including some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world.
Note: An extra local payment of GBP 30 p/p is to be paid to the dive centre at the start of the course for your PADI Course Manual, which you keep with you and take home with you afterwards.

Watch this spectacular laser light and sound show at the pyramids. Listen to the head of the Sphinx as it tells the story of the Pharaohs and how the great pyramids were built. The show is available in different languages and runs from early to late evening. All transport is provided along with entrance fees.

Introductory dives take approximately two and a half hours and begin with some basic training in the classroom. Then you are accompanied into 'confined water' to practice basic skills (mask clearing, equalising and regulator recovery). Finally, you go into 'open water' for a dive on the reef with an instructor by your side. The instructor will control your buoyancy the whole time as you descend to a maximum depth of 12m. Actual dive time underwater varies on an individual's air consumption but on average lasts 30-40 minutes. You do need to be able to swim for an Introductory Dive. All instruction, transport and equipment is included in the price. An Introductory dive is the perfect way to discover whether scuba is for you without committing yourself to the full course.
