2 reviews

Experience the feeling of weightlessness and discover the Red Sea’s marine life with a choice of diving and snorkelling options in Marsa Alam.

Half-day PADI Discover Scuba Diving (DSD): briefing, basic skills in shallow water and a guided dive from the boat to explore deeper areas.

Daily diving (1-day to 5-day diving package): a flexible dive program for qualified divers. You can book any number of days.

PADI Scuba Diver 2-day course: three confined water sessions, knowledge development and two open‑water dives from the boat. This qualification allows you to dive to 12 m with a PADI professional.

PADI Scuba Diver 4-day course: five confined water sessions, knowledge development and four open‑water dives. Once qualified, you can dive to 18 m (12 m for ages 10–11) with another certified diver.

PADI Advanced Open Water Diver: if you already have the Open Water rating (or equivalent) you can go on to the next level of training. This involves one check/fun dive and five course dives. A deep dive and a navigation dive are required, and the remaining three are chosen with your instructor. The certification allows diving to 30 m (21 m for junior divers).

Skills review and 1 fun dive: for qualified divers who have not dived in the last 12 months, this refresher course is required. It features a confined water refresher followed by a guided dive.

1-day snorkeling for non-divers: non-divers can join the boat for a full day of snorkelling or simply enjoy the experience on board.

    Did both open water and advanced open water with TUI during my holiday. Both courses were organised very well, the boat was docked right next to my hotel, so a transfer wasn't necessary. I'm very happy with the amount of service and options you get for this price. With a special shout out for Ahmed and Taki, the best instructors in Egypt! I would highly recommend doing this excursion during your time in Marsa Alam!

    Een top ervaring om je PADI in Egypte te kunnen halen! Met de Open Water cursus, georganiseerd door Emperor, hebben we 3 dagen enorm kunnen genieten van al het moois dat de rode zee te bieden heeft. We hebben gelijk ook de advanced cursus via tui geboekt voor later in de week, dat zegt denk ik genoeg! Speciale dank voor instructeur Ahmed door wie we super fijn gecoacht zijn in dit proces!
