FAQs
Clear answers to common questions before travelling to Sharm El Sheikh and planning your diving or snorkelling days.
Can I scuba dive in Sharm El Sheikh without a certification?
Yes. Try Diving experiences introduce non-certified guests to scuba diving under direct supervision in calm shallow water, while beginners seeking full certification can take the Open Water course.
Can non-diving partners or children join a boat trip?
Yes. Snorkelling guests and non-diving companions can join suitable day-boat departures or book a private boat charter tailored to mixed diving and snorkelling groups.
What do certified divers need to bring with them?
Certified divers are asked to present proof of certification and approximate logbook history when checking in at the centre. If it has been a long time since your last dive, a gentle shore check dive may be recommended.
How long should I wait before flying after scuba diving?
Standard recreational diving guidance recommends allowing a surface interval of at least 18 to 24 hours after multiple dives or multi-day diving before flying or ascending to altitude. Plan your final dive day accordingly.
Are equipment rental and marine park fees included?
Inclusions vary by trip and course. Each service page lists typical inclusions and potential exclusions such as environmental/national park fees or full kit hire, and everything is confirmed in writing before booking.
How does booking confirmation and online payment work?
First you submit an availability enquiry—no card details are collected on the enquiry form. Once our team confirms spaces, schedule, and an agreed price snapshot, you may receive an expiring Paymob payment link clearly displaying the settlement currency and amount.
