PADI Discover Scuba Diving Course Hurghada

The PADI Discover Scuba Diving Course in Hurghada is a one-day introductory diving experience perfect for beginners aged 10+. No certification or experience is needed. You’ll learn basic dive skills with a professional PADI instructor, then enjoy two guided dives (about 35 minutes each) at vibrant reef sites, reaching up to 12 meters deep. Snorkeling, lunch, and drinks are included, making it a full-day discover scuba diving experience in the Red Sea. It’s the easiest and safest way to try diving before committing to full certification.

What You’ll Learn: PADI Discover Scuba Diving Course

You’ll learn fundamental scuba skills and safety practices under direct instructor supervision during this course. You’ll discover how to set up and handle scuba equipment, breathe from the regulator, and clear your mask and regulator underwater. Your instructor will also teach basic hand signals and buoyancy control so you can communicate and move comfortably beneath the surface. Key skills include:

• Equipment setup: Assemble your gear, wear your wetsuit, and take your first breaths from the scuba regulator.
• Mask clearing and regulator recovery: Practice unclipping your mask or retrieving your regulator underwater to handle common situations.
• Buoyancy control: Learn to adjust your buoyancy vest to float, hover, and swim with ease at shallow depths.

• Underwater communication: Use simple hand signals and buddy checks to stay safe and connected while diving.

Throughout the course, you’ll also learn about basic dive theory (like pressure and breathing) and how to manage your dive comfortably and safely. All of this prepares you to enjoy the underwater world with confidence during your guided dives.

There are only a few requirements to join this introductory dive course. No scuba training or certification is required. You do need to meet these basic conditions:

• Age: 10 years or older (children 10–14 dive as Junior Divers).
• Swimming & fitness: Comfortable in water with basic swimming skills; able to swim 200 meters or tread water for 10 minutes. (You do not need to be an expert swimmer, but you should feel at ease in the water.)
• Health: Medically fit for diving (you must complete a medical statement). Certain conditions (e.g. asthma, heart issues) may require a doctor’s clearance.
• Parental approval: If under 18, a parent/guardian must sign consent.

• The Discover Scuba Diving course is typically completed in one full day. A sample schedule might look like this:

  • Orientation & Briefing: Meet at the dive center. You’ll receive an introduction to scuba gear, safety guidelines, and basic dive theory (what to expect, hand signals, and emergency procedures).
  • Confined Water Practice: In shallow water or a pool, practice breathing from the regulator and other basic skills (mask clearing, buoyancy control). This builds confidence before going deeper.
  • Two Open-Water Dives: Board the dive boat and head to the reef. Under instructor supervision, complete two guided dives of about 35 minutes each. These dives typically reach up to 12 meters in depth, allowing you to explore coral gardens and marine life.
  • Surface Interval: Between dives, you’ll have a break on the boat or at the surface. This includes a light meal (lunch) and time to snorkel or relax as you refuel for the next dive.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a PADI Discover Scuba Diving certificate. This internationally recognized certificate proves that you safely completed an introductory open-water dive under professional supervision. While it is not a full diver certification, the PADI DSD certificate earns you credit toward the PADI Open Water Diver course if you choose to continue your training in the future.

After finishing the Discover Scuba Diving Course, you’ll be a more confident ocean explorer. You might sign up for the PADI Open Water Diver course in Hurghada to earn full certification and dive independently (up to 18 meters depth).
