Don’t be mislead when booking your PADI Open Water Course 👇
Often the price shown is not the price you pay. Clear pricing is a huge problem in the Scuba Diving industry and we have fallen foul to non transparency.
Add on’s you may have to pay extra for:
🤿Equipment hire.
🤿Marine park fees.
🤿Entrance fees.
🤿Taxes.
🤿E-learning package.
🤿Transport.
🤿Extra Courses like Dry Suit if diving in cold water.
Cheap can often be expensive and that is exactly why we are transparent from the start. The price advertised is what you pay. Clear and honest from the start. We display our clear pricing but many don’t. When we book our personal trips, if people don’t display a clear price, we move on and look for another operator.
Here are our clear prices for all PADI Courses and fun Dives in Hurghada, Egypt.
We will offer small discount for bulk bookings.

Want to get trained to become a Scuba Diver?
Here is some honest advise.
If you want to dive in the UK, learn in the UK.
If you want to Scuba Dive in warm water see lots of life, learn in those waters.
Where you learn to dive is a big decision, there’s zero point learning in cold water if you want to dive in warm water. It’s very different. The same goes, if you want to dive in cold water, don’t learn in warm water.
If somebody tells you “If you learn to dive in the UK, you can dive anywhere” they are lying to simply line their pocket. All oceans are different and learning in a lake is very different to the ocean. Want to dive in the ocean, learn in the ocean. Want to dive in a lake, learn in a lake.
My advise is totally impartial and the best advise for any student.

I’m always gutted to hear somebody has a bad experience Scuba Diving. Especially when it’s one of our regular customers.
I knew something was up when he messaged because it was not the normal tone so I asked if something had happened and as we have a good relationship, he told me.
I have received 100’s of people who have had bad experiences, been ousted from dive clubs especially after they won’t do any more courses and want to gain experience. I have been told many horror stories over the years.
For us it’s really good to know what happened for two reasons. Firstly to warn others and to give that individual extra time and care to make sure they fall back in love with the sport we all love.
For people to give up Scuba for the sake of bad people is a real shame and I have personally helped many fall back in love with Scuba and got people back in the water again.
Don’t worry we will look after this gentleman.
This industry needs a very big shake up. Some people should be ashamed. Another added to my long list of bad clubs/shops/people.

Being a proficient Scuba Diver comes after spending 100’s if not 1000’s of hours underwater. You will always learn more.
Experience is the most important factor in learning, not courses, we have found it first hand. Varied environments, varied conditions, learn to walk before you run.
Many believe because you have done your OW course you can now dive anywhere, technically you can BUT some oceans in this world can humble the most experienced of divers. Some oceans are very unforgiving as we have found first hand.
I made a huge mistake! Let’s learn from it. After 3000 dives in the Red Sea, I was super confident of my abilities in that environment. Teaching hundreds of courses and guiding 1000’s of divers. I knew it like the back of my hand. Then I started to travel to many countries to follow my passion.
I was humbled on several occasions, I come across down and up currents for the first time, I come across the “washing machine effect”. I come across strong currents that would take you 2km in 20mins. I found the ocean changed very fast, one minute it’s all nice and relaxed and then it changed in an instant.
I learnt to feel the water, feel he changes, predict what is ahead from what I’m feeling. Often being right. This learning path has helped me so much. EXPERIENCE.
Though our own learning path, learning from mistake and learning from some of the best Instructors around the world, we have devised a programme to help others.
The Red Sea one one of the best places to gain experience, WHY? There are little currents, the water is clear and warm, for new divers under 100 dives, it’s by far the best place to learn and not just do your Open Water course, but to gain experience.
Come and join us in Hurghada Egypt where you can learn in max groups of 4 people, learn from Instructors with 1000’s of hours underwater and those who work full time in the industry for many years.
We want to help you improve, we want to help you get prepared to dive in more difficult conditions, we want to help get rid of any nerves, we want you to gain confidence. We can help you without selling you courses. Just diving and gaining experience.
Full diving holidays from £500 pp including accommodation.
5 days diving from £300 pp
PADI Open Water Course from £500 pp
We don’t just offer courses, we offer you experience too.

Is there a huge amount of over confidence in Scuba Diving?
I’m our opinion yes. From diving with 1000’s of divers we have seen it first hand. BUT we have also helped 1000’s of divers gain confidence and get back in the water after bad experiences and nerves.
Why is there over confidence in Diving? Dive operators and Instructors are using the positives to keep your custom “your an amazing diver” “you completed your course with ease” to boost your confidence, if you think you are top level you will want to spend more money on the equipment they sell and the courses they provide.
This is also why they will encourage you NOT to dive with other people using the excuses “they are not safe” “ they don’t know what you they are doing” so you stay with them and don’t go else where.
When you do go else where, they may oust you, the reason is simple. The place you are going will know the place who has filled you with false confidence. They are going can see who trained you, they can see you may have done cert after cert. They will know you are soon to find out you have been filled with false confidence and lost your business. Because there are operators who will be honest with you. But those operators will also help you to correct the false confidence like us.
How do we know this? We have seen it 1000’s times and have a list of culprits who do it. If a divers come to us with false confidence we first look to see if it’s a similar pattern, we check where the initial training was done and by who. There is a pattern.
We then have a discussion, it’s the customers choice if they want to fix things or not. Many do and some don’t, many divers recognise they have it and a few don’t. But most people want to improve. It’s why we always recommend our divers go to other places to dive and gain experience but we give them the skills to do that.
If you come and do 5 days of diving with us, there is little we cannot fix. Problems with any skills, buoyancy, understanding, general nerves, accents and descents? We can fix everything. All we want is for divers to be safe and have fun.

Once you have got some experience and gained confidence, you can then start to tick that bucket list off with Dive UK Travel - The very best Scuba Holidays and our worldwide holidays to see the special creatures around the world. But only when you are ready for such dives. It’s why we are strict about minimum requirements on our holidays.

Why won’t we take people on certain dives in Egypt and around the world unless we see them dive first?
The answer is quite simple, your safety, our safety and the safety of others. Request to go to challenging dive sites around the world are getting more and more, people just want to jump in the water with the big life for 1 days and that’s it. It’s a consequence of social media and chasing that thrilling dive.
However as a business owner, a diver and Instructor, I don’t want your accident or death on my conscience for the rest of my life, here is the reason why we watch everybody. Your long list of cert cards mean very little as we know how easy they are to get. Watching you set up your equipment and do your checks tell us everything about you and how you dive on the first day. We have huge experience from Egypt and all over the world where people think they are better divers that they are.
If you want to do challenging dive? No problem, we will help you get to the point in which you will be safe to do such. In fact we would love to help you improve through experience. A certificate does not mean you are ready for some dives.
The ocean is a dangerous place. Safety has always been number one for me. Yes I have lost another booking because of our policy, lost revenue and perhaps somebody bad mouthing the company BUT we have taken 1000’s of people diving, over 1000 certifications, spent 1000’s of hours under water all over the world and in different oceans.
We have not had one accident. I will do my upmost to keep it that way too! Our job is to send you home in the same condition you came, but with an added smile.
Yes we have rules, but for your own good and for the good of other people. Want a safe experience, we may just be for you.
