The boat slides away from Hurghada Marina with the city shrinking behind glass-bright water. Salt and diesel mingle as instructors walk through gear, and the Red Sea opens into a palette of blues where coral bommies rise like underwater hills. On this full-day beginner trip participants step through two guided shallow dives, surface between them on a sun-warmed deck, then refuel with a buffet lunch while scanning the horizon for spinfish and gulls.

Hydrate before boarding
Drink water before pickup and bring a refillable bottle—surface intervals and sun exposure dehydrate quickly.
Protect from the sun

Know your limits
Be honest about medical conditions and ear issues during check-in to ensure guides choose appropriate sites.
Bring seasickness remedies
If prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-boat where motion is gentlest.
Light wetsuit (3mm) or shorty
Keeps you comfortable during descents and surface intervals when water is cooler.
winter
Mask & snorkel (personal fit)
A well-fitted mask improves comfort on both dives and surface snorkeling between sites.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the coral ecosystems from harmful chemicals.
summer
Sea-sickness medication or wristbands
Helps prevent nausea during transfer to offshore dive sites.
