We had an amazing experience diving with this center in Hurghada! We chose the 'Daily Dive' option, which is suitable for all levels, and it was perfect. The trip included a full day on the boat, two dives, and lunch on board which was very good. We saw so many beautiful fish and marine life.
What is this tour like?
Scuba Hurghada runs the PADI Open Water Diver as a three-day course — 'PADI instructie en alle duiken vanaf onze boot', instruction and all dives from the centre's own boat, with equipment rental, lunch and drinks on board included in the €250 per person. The unit is printed 'p.p.' on the list.
The footnotes matter for the real total: the PADI certification cost is €55 per student plus the price of the course book, and the Marine Park Fee of €5 per person per day applies on each boat day. So a realistic budget is the €250 plus roughly €70 in fees and materials. The centre holds 4.9 on Google from 524 reviews (3 September 2026); several reviews are from people who did their Open Water and Advanced here back to back. The operator lists a P.O. Box rather than a street address, so the meeting is a hotel pickup confirmed at booking.

- Equipment rental, lunch and drinks inside the €250
- Unit printed on the list: per person
