The courses we recommend for you...

Fast Track - 2 weeks entry level diving and adventure at an affordable price

This course is an ideal 'gap filler'. If you've ever wanted to take the plunge and learn-to-dive, this short programme takes you through the first two PADI Courses so that you are qualified to dive to 30m. With some recreational 'fun dives' and a camel safari chucked into the programme, you're set for an action-packed and fun few weeks.

Get Wet - 3 weeks learning to dive in Dahab, Egypt

This programme is a step up from the 'fast-track' course and offers you the chance to extend your knowledge by adding on the Enriched Air Diver (Nitrox Course) and do plenty of local activities. This is simply one of the best learn-to-dive programmes with adventure!

All But Pro - 4 weeks beginner to Rescue Diver in Dahab, Egypt

This is a very comprehensive learn-to-dive programme. Not only does the course take you from beginner to Rescue Diver, but it also packs in plenty of fun dives and adventure tours. After this course you will be an informed and responsible diver with sound safety knowledge.

Go Pro Silver - 8 weeks beginner to Divemaster

We strongly recommend that you have at least done a try-dive in your local pool before you start the programme. You will learn so much on this course and get unlimited diving during the internship. By the end of the programme you will be a certified PADI pro!!
