Diving in Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm is one of the oldest diving bases on the Red Sea, and the reason is geography: the drop-offs of Ras Mohammed and the four reefs of the Strait of Tiran – Gordon, Thomas, Woodhouse and Jackson – are less than an hour away by boat. Beginners do not go there on day one. A try dive stays in shallow, sheltered water; the famous walls belong to certified divers with a few logged dives.

Which kind of dive trip suits you?

The diving offers here come in three shapes, and the real difference is how much time you spend underwater compared with time on deck. The first is the day boat to Ras Mohammed and White Island or to the Tiran reefs: six to nine hours, one or two introductory dives, snorkelling for anyone who stays up top, and a buffet lunch. Across these boats the “from” prices run from €28 to €60.

The second shape is short and land-based: a two-hour beach session with an introductory dive from €23, or a four-hour guided shore outing with two dives from €76. Both fit a tight schedule. The third is the PADI package of two or three days from €309, the only option that ends with a certificate, and it takes real holiday time. A private speedboat to Tiran for two hours starts at €249 per group of up to six, which only pays off with a full boat.

Mixed parties do best on a day boat: one person dives, the others snorkel, and nobody waits on the beach. If you get seasick, the beach session and the shore dive spare you the crossing.

Before booking, check whether the dive is included or an extra, how many dives you get, and whether park fees and hotel pick-up are covered.

Good to know: Plan the last dive well before the flight home. Diving organisations recommend a gap of at least 18 hours after repetitive diving, and the dive centre will tell you what it applies. Bring the certification card and logbook – without them you are treated as a beginner, whatever you say at the desk.

Frequently asked questions

Can I do an introductory dive with no experience at all?

Yes, that is exactly what the introductory dives on several day boats and the beach session are for. An instructor stays with you in shallow water and you do not need a certificate. Age limits and health questions differ from one operator to the next, so ask before you pay.

Should I choose a try dive or the PADI course?

The PADI package offers either a single trial lesson or a course of two or three days. A try dive tells you in a few hours whether you like it; only the course ends with a certificate. With a short stay or some doubts, start with the trial and ask whether it can be counted towards a course later.

Can my partner snorkel while I dive?

On most of the day boats, yes. Several listings combine an introductory dive with snorkelling, so divers and non-divers share the same boat and the same lunch. Just make sure the person who snorkels books the snorkelling option, and check which of you is covered by the dive price.
