Booked a beginner diving trip with TUI, but it was a disaster. Picked up in an unmarked van with non-English-speaking staff, the driver was blasting music, arguing with security, and using his phone while driving. On arrival, I was told there was a mix-up and I’d be snorkeling instead of diving – no interest in spending 7 hours on a boat for that. Had to pay for my own taxi back after the rep tried to put me in an unlicensed car, telling me to lie to the police if stopped.
If you've always wanted to go diving, but haven't the chance yet, there's no better time than when you're in Sharm El Sheik.
Start with pick-up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh and head towards the marine to begin a really beautiful underwater exploration. You have three options:
A. Beginner: a full-day Red Sea cruise experience for beginners with 1 intro dive including equipment plus 2 snorkeling stops and lunch.
B. 2 dives: a full-day Red Sea cruise experience for beginners with 2 intro dives including equipment plus 1 snorkeling stop and lunch.
C. 1-day snorkeling: a full-day snorkeling experience with 3 snorkeling stops and lunch (not including diving).
You will board a Red Sea cruise with diving platforms and open ladders, making it perfect for beginners and advanced divers. There's also an experienced crew on board to help you with all your needs. To ensure everyone's safety, there are also extra oxygen tanks and first aid kits. See more than 1,000 invertebrate species and 200 types of soft and hard coral in the Red Sea that will take your breath away.
After this once-in-a-lifetime experience, you will be taken back to the marina and finally dropped off back at your hotel.
