A deposit is required to receive the PADI eLearning before your arrival.

Theory (online before your arrival, or in person on site)

You discover the basics of diving at your own pace: physics, physiology, equipment, and planning. Completing it before you arrive frees up time on site to dive more.

Confined water sessions

You learn and practice every essential skill in calm, reassuring water: managing your buoyancy, breathing, equipment, and responding calmly to unexpected situations. Each skill is repeated until it becomes second nature.

Four open water dives

You put everything you've learned into practice in the open sea, on the reefs of the Red Sea. The progression is closely supervised, dive after dive, until you reach full autonomy.

Frequently asked questions

I've never put my head underwater, is that a problem?

No, it's exactly for you. The training starts from zero, with no experience required. You learn each skill at your own pace, in warm, calm water.

Do I have to do the theory online before arriving?

It's not mandatory, but it is recommended: doing it before you arrive frees up time on site to focus on practice and dive more during your stay.

What happens if I don't have time to finish in one visit?

Your PADI certification never expires. If needed, you can always complete the remaining skills on a future trip, with us or with another PADI center.
