Egypt's coral reefs and marine life offer an unparalleled scuba diving and snorkeling experience. The Red Sea cities of Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh offer some of the world's rarest and most brilliant varieties of corals and fish. No dive would be complete without exploring the depth of the Blue Hole in Dahab, or visiting Ras Mohammed on the tip of the Sinai Penninsula. Ras Mohammed - a declared national park- is renowned for being one of the world's best diving spots featuring the most exquisite coral reefs and exotic marine life.For a trace of history, diving expeditions are organized off the shores of Alexandria, where the ruins of Cleopatra's Temple can be found and viewed at the bottom of the sea.There is an abundance of hotels and camping grounds which serve the best dive sites and centers. Diving courses are available and are relatively inexpensive. The shore dives offer a safe learning ground for open water diving. All the diving centers offer PADI, BSAC or CMAS certifications; which entitle you to dive anywhere in the world. More details

SUBEX DIVER - the in-depth basic training

Over the space of five days the guest will learn all there is to know about diving. The initial dive based on the buddy system with your instructor lasts approximately 30 minutes, all in open water and in small groups of 4 students at the most. The total of seven water units is complemented with six theory units of 45 to 60 minutes each. For us at SUBEX, the learning material and all modern equipment (incl. octopus and diving computer) are part of the package and are provided at no extra charge. You will receive the SUBEX diver's pass, the SUBEX logbook and two internationally recognized certificates: the CMAS T* (one-star diver) and the SSI OWD (Open Water Diver). This will entitle you to dive all over the world accompanied by an experienced diver or in a guided group, up to a depth of 18 m.

FUN DIVER- the introductory program

"An introduction to diving", "My diving equipment", "Diving safety" and "Coral reefs" are the four areas you will get to know during your four dives and the extensive preliminary and follow-up briefings. On completion of the program you will be awarded the SUBEX diving pass and the FUN DIVER card. While this program is not a complete diver training course, it does allow you to dive with a group of two divers at most, up to a maximum depth of 12 m, under the supervision of a certified diving instructor.
