What to Expect on Your Full Day Scuba Diving Trip in Hurghada

The day usually starts early but comfortably. Most operators pick you up from your hotel between 7:30 and 8:30 AM. Once you reach the marina, you board a comfortable dive boat, get your equipment sorted, and listen to a clear safety briefing.

By 9 AM the boat sets off. The first dive typically happens around 10-11 AM at one of the beautiful nearby reefs. After a good surface interval with snacks and drinks, you enjoy a hearty buffet lunch on board – think grilled items, fresh salads, rice, and fruits, all with unlimited soft drinks, tea, and coffee.

In the afternoon you do your second dive at a different site. Most trips return to the marina between 4 and 5 PM, and then you get dropped back at your hotel. The whole experience lasts about 7 to 9 hours, leaving you with enough time to relax in the evening.

Popular Dive Sites You Might Visit

The crew chooses the best spots based on weather and sea conditions, but you’ll often head to places like:

• Giftun Islands (Small or Large) – stunning coral gardens packed with colorful fish


• Abu Ramada – known as “The Aquarium” because of its incredible marine life


• Shaab El Erg (Dolphin House) – a great chance to spot dolphins while diving


• Fanous Reef or Carless Reef – dramatic walls and soft corals

During these dives you can expect to see hard and soft corals, schools of reef fish, moray eels, turtles, and sometimes even rays or small reef sharks. The visibility is usually excellent, especially in the warmer months.

Who Is This Full Day Scuba Diving Trip Perfect For?

This trip works great for certified divers of all levels. You need a valid Open Water certification (or equivalent) to join the standard two-dive version. If you’re not certified yet, many operators can arrange a Discover Scuba Diving option on the same boat, or you can simply join as a snorkeler while your friends dive.

Minimum age is usually around 12 years, but it depends on the operator. As long as you’re in reasonably good health and can swim, you should be fine.

Tips to Make the Most of Your Scuba Diving Hurghada Day Trip

Bring sunscreen, a hat, a towel, and any seasickness medication if you need it. Wear your swimsuit under your clothes to save time. Don’t forget your diving certification card if you have one.

The Red Sea water is warm year-round, but a 3–5 mm wetsuit is usually provided and comfortable. Listen carefully to the briefing – the guides know the sites inside out and will help you have a safe and enjoyable time.
