FAQS

What do I need to bring on a diving trip?

  • You should bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a good mood 😊, and any personal items you may need. We also recommend bringing a waterproof camera for underwater photography. If you are a certified diver, don’t forget your license. For diving courses, bring your ID photo.

The boat typically accommodates up to 40 people, but we limit the number to 20-25 passengers for a more comfortable experience.
We ask for your room number and phone number for several reasons: to ensure we have accurate information for security purposes, to help return any items you may leave on the boat or during transfer by delivering them to your hotel room, and to reach you through the hotel if we’re unable to contact you directly.
We will pick you up in front of the hotel, as security restrictions prevent cars from entering the premises. On the scheduled day, we’ll collect you around 7:30 am, and the exact pick-up time will be confirmed once you arrive in Hurghada. If the hotel allows, we can also arrange to pick you up directly from the reception area.
